low demand -International long haul

[KanishkSinhal]

I am presently based in Mumbai-India in beginners world 2.
If I see for example, that Mumbai - Manchester route has an average daily demand of 100 passengers and Mumbai - Birmingham route has an average daily demand of 150 passengers, is it possible to create a Mumbai - Manchestor - Birmingham - Mumbai flight with a large aircraft lets say an Airbus a330 which can seat about 250 passengers.

I mean, an average daily demand of just 100 passengers on an international long haul route makes it difficult to tap into that demand. I think the above suggested way to design a route should be possible as it sounds logical.

Not supported in game any more. Routes must be A-B-A with no other destinations other than stopovers permited which do not allow passenger movements.

[KanishkSinhal]

Yes but dont you think its would be more realistic to have that option?..

In such a scenario you can only either be based out of international hub airports to be a big airline.
Or else, how would you suggest i cater to such scattered demands of 100 daily passengers at different destinations so far off.

Best advice is to steer clear of such small demand long haul demand as you will lose money running those routes

I would like to support this request for either dual touch A-B-C-B-A (with traffic A-B and A-C no B-C 5th freedom) or triangular A-B-C-A (no rights on B-C) routes. This is both realistic and would enhance the long haul routes that could be served.
This request is different from the so called W routes (A-B-C-B-A) which would allow to serve short haul routes without basing aircraft in B. Whilst this may also be of interest this is in support of a different strategy.

What would also make long haul routes more attractive is a distribution of weekly demand over the days when the routes are served so that the routes would not need to be served daily (as is the case today). This would also be realistic and massively enhance the routes which could be profitably operated!
