Some important changes have been implemented to make starting a new airline easier in existing game worlds, and also to help running small / regional airlines: Starting capital for new airlines is now more dynamic. The money amount depends on the progress of the game world and the size of the airport the player selects. If choosing a large airport late into the game the starting capital is approximately double from what it used to be. Staff requirements for airlines running small / medium sized aircraft have been adjusted. The smaller aircraft require less staff than before. On average this means about 10-25% reduction in required staff numbers for smaller airlines. Slot pricing for new airlines has been adjusted to incorporate a larger and longer discount when the airline is new. Details of these changes can be read at our announcements forums.
