Medium Airports? Ha.

Or boaden your horizons and don't follow the pack to 737's, A32X's, and E95's 

Look a bit deeper....great airplanes can be purchased from the new market cheap with little wait. Look at the MA60, AN-140, AN-148, 717, CR9 just to name a few. Of those, the longest backlog is the 717 at 108, with delivery slots available within 3 months still All others have delivery slots availabe within 2 game months. Order today, get planes tommorow.

I understand your point, but being based in Iceland kind of makes it tricky to go for the smaller planes with decent range to be able to make it the North America and Europe with profitable results.

Makes sense. Could you make TU-204's work until 737-800's,-900ER's or 757-200's would arrive? Not optimal, but a short wait for those too. Would the 2120nm AN-148E be enough range to serve some of Europe until, say, 737-600's could be obtained?

Thats a very good call, the TU-204-200 is perfect. I did however just shoot myself in the foot with leasing another 763 and 762 that I JUST happened to find on the used market. But it should not be long before I can make up the money to lease 6 and run them on my key routes, and the 180 pax seating is optimal on my routes to North America. I was hoping to run 752's but the TU-204's should do good on those routes.

Thanks!

Another point is that Brazilian airports aren't with real demands even for the age of the game, since they were much higher. I think it happens with other countries too. It could be fixed in the future. For example, in Beginner World it's impossible to fly Salvador-Recife, Salvador-Brasilia or Rio de Janeiro (Santos Dumont)-Brasilia due to low demand, but it's not real not even for the 80's.

Top 10 airline from Class 4 airport (40% demand). Done.


Its not hard to create a successful airline once you have an idea of what your doing...

I based a fairly successful airline out of Brasilia before, so I might be able to help. My first piece of advice - go for places that are specifically FULL. Mow people down as if they're not there. Trust me, IT WORKS. Second, don't go for the Class A airports right away - and don't just go domestic. Take a look at Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Columbia, Peru, Ecuador and so on. There is plenty of demand elsewhere in South America, and if you feel you're trapped by those other airlines in GRU/GIG etc, go against them on PURPOSE. Like I said, mow them down as if they're not even there. I got up to 30 aircraft from Brasilia until I felt like a little testing with some stuff and...I'll leave it at that.

Cheers,

btw. I started an airline in DOTM at Hurghada yesterday (pretty medium airport I think), using some 15yo Caravelles just to see how it all works. Goes OK so far..

Plenty of used planes if you accept the older models, enough demands etc. So I do not agree at all of these "unplayable", "no used planes" etc. comments that a poster made. There are no "empty" routes but one shouldn't expect those either - have to have the guts to enter a market with other airlines.


(MT3 seems to have limited used market at the moment, but I'm looking into that later today)

Limited? There's only 8 bloody planes, and two of them are direct purchase only. The rest of them are the typical used market fodder.

If I joined MT3 now I'd be sending you an email asking for my 5 credits back.

[LOT767]

To be fair, one of them is in 100% condition.
