About the Aircraft: by Wikipedia

The Boeing 727 is an American narrow-body airliner that was developed and produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. After the heavier 707 quad-jet was introduced in 1958, Boeing addressed the demand for shorter flight lengths from smaller airports. On December 5, 1960, the 727 was launched with 40 orders each from United Airlines and Eastern Air Lines. The first 727-100 rolled out on November 27, 1962, first flew on February 9, 1963, and entered service with Eastern on February 1, 1964.

The only trijet aircraft to be produced by Boeing, the 727 is powered by Pratt & Whitney JT8D low-bypass turbofans below a T-tail, one on each side of the rear fuselage and a center one fed through an S-duct. It shares its six-abreast upper fuselage cross-section and cockpit with the 707 that was also later used on the 737. The 133-foot-long (41 m) 727-100 typically carries 106 passengers in two classes over 2,250 nautical miles [nmi] (4,170 km; 2,590 mi), or 129 in a single class. Launched in 1965, the stretched 727-200 flew in July 1967 and entered service with Northeast Airlines that December. The 20 ft (6.1 m) longer variant typically carries 134 passengers in two classes over 2,550 nmi (4,720 km; 2,930 mi), or 155 in a single class. A freighter and a "Quick Change" convertible version were also offered.

The 727 was used for domestic flights and on international flights within its range. Airport noise regulations have led to hush kit installations. Its last commercial passenger flight was in January 2019. It was succeeded by the 757 and larger variants of the 737. There have been 353 incidents involving the Boeing 727. Production ended in September 1984 with 1,832 having been built.

About FLY Linhas Aéreas

Fly Linhas Aéreas was an airline (low cost / low fare) based in Rio de Janeiro, whose destinations were Natal, Recife, Fortaleza and Guarulhos and several charter flights to the northeast of Brazil and the Caribbean.

It was born as a charter company, but over time it began to operate regular flights. Although it was a low-cost company, it offered a differentiated, high-quality service on its flights.

The company lasted around 11 years, and in the first few years it enjoyed good growth and high occupancy. But its fortunes began to change in 1999 due to the currency crisis, when occupancy fell and the costs of the Boeing 727, which had been chosen because it was the best type of plane for the company's business model, rose precipitously. Thus, the company began the year 2000 with excellent use of its only aircraft (a plane leased from Royal Air Maroc), which generated sufficient revenue to purchase a second Boeing 727-200 aircraft (purchased on the American market), including the which would be called FLY-CLASS (first class species).

The company's flights already reached Recife and João Pessoa), as well as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Natal and Fortaleza (and plans to reach Belém and Brasília). FLY's success was so great that VARIG itself made an offer to buy the company, which was immediately rejected by its owners. Almost at the same time that it took off from Rio de Janeiro towards the northeast, FLY was accompanied by VARIG to the same destinations and, while FLY left completely full of passengers, VARIG took off with a utilization below half of its capacity. your aircraft.

The situation reached an extreme after the crisis that aviation faced after the attacks of September 11, 2001 and later due to the advance of the new Gol Linhas Aéreas, which was well capitalized and with a much more modern, advanced and economical Boeing 737 fleet, In addition to the lower fares it charged, Fly could not find any more space and ended up closing its operations. After that, he even carried out charter flights, but this lasted for a short time.
