How about an option to build a maintanence base?
Flight Attendant training base?
I'm new to the game, so I'm not sure if you can
already add these! :)

i think that would be a great idea considering that the real airlines do that...

This is a "faint thought" in back of my head at the moment, where you could start separate maintenance, training and ground handling companies and then train your own crew there or even sell the service to other airlines. ..So it's going to be put there at some point but not in the very near future.

that sucks because i know Buffalo Airways has their training facility in British Columbia even though they are based out of Hay Riber, Nothwest Territories

Like UA has a huge maintainance facility in SFO. AS in SEA.

Reading through some old ideas, I was wondering if you had put any more thought to this possibility. 

With the next version incorporating multiple hubs, maybe this could somehow be aligned to the costs of the new hubs.  You could maybe have a 'hangar' initially at your base (which could be included in the set up of your main base for no cost) and then any subsequent hubs could have a 'hangar' for a one off set up fee?

Or, if you chose not to set up a new 'hangar' at your new hub, then maintenance charges could be increased a little to simulate the aircraft at the secondary base(s) having to return to the main hub.
