Airline Strategies

[masoniclight]

Just curious as to what kind of airlines do you, the current beta testers, feel really works for the style of companies you like to run.

This is tough to answer. Currently, the largest airline in the game is indeed a heavy international player. But that doesnt mean other strategies dont work. One airline in the top 5 is all domestic or short haul international. Zero LH routes. So it depends more on your choice of city.

The rule of thumb would be selecting a city that has "above avg" domestic demand + avg international demand. Avg international would mean 100 daily pax per route to "major" international cites. SYD, NRT, LHR the likes.

Though, if you want to create the an airline with high profitability, international is the way to go. You will always make more money on LH international routes then domestic. That's a given.

Hopefully, this will help you

I'm based in Seoul Incheon(South Korea) where domestic flights are only limited. So I'm forced to do Intl. Flights. The game isn't easy at it looks. I can't fly just to any airport. I need to take into consideration route demand and if the Airport im flying to has intl. flights.
My airline flies to all continents(except antartica) which is a real accomplishment given the fact that it's the 70s.


here is my airline to give u some idea!!!

I will do big cities to big cities when I start(which basically means just after the game goes public.)
Here a some examples(I will base in HKG.)
HKG-PVG
HKG-PEK
HKG-ICN
HKG-CAN
HKG-TPE
HKG-MNL
HKG-HAN...
and so on.
