events that may reduce the demand of passengers

[thirdeye]

hello everybody
sorry for my poor English
I joined recently, and i am participating at Euro challenge 2
I have a question to ask about the events that may reduce the demand of passengers.
these events occur in exactly the actual date (and thus are in fact likely) or they are random?
For example, the events of 11 September 2001 will happen in the game? or these events are placed at different dates?
thanks
Marco

Anything that may have globally reduced demand is modeled.  So, yes, 9/11 is modeled.  You won't see it on that exact date, I believe demand is based on quarterly figures.  But you will see a passenger drop then. 

However, relatively little else is.   Because, with rare exception, global air traffic doesn't decline.  It might not grow as fast as in previous years, but it rarely falls.  Even 9/11's impact isn't that great in the grand scheme of a 25yr game.  The traffic quickly comes back.
