What's the route with the most demand in this world?

Try Hong Kong - Taipei (8500/day) or a domestic Japanese run (over 10K/day if you're talking Haneda to Sapporo). Sapporo is REALLY fantastic if all you ever want to run are domestic Japanese routes.

If I play a future AWS game, I'll certainly be basing myself in Hong Kong, Japan, or mainland China if I can.

I simply couldn't keep up from Seoul. My best routes were Tokyo Narita (2000/day) and Los Angeles (1000/day), pittance comparatively speaking. And I didn't even want to fly LAX anymore. Heathrow was also good (2200/day) but it had already been saturated by UnitedBritish before I ever sent my first flight to Heathrow. Domestic routes were a joke too - my best domestic route had at most 280-300 pax per day, not the fantastic figures I could've expected over in Japan. South Korea doesn't generate much domestic demand, as the country is compact enough that flying is rarely necessary anyway (and in real life, TGV bullet trains, which I actually love, killed demand even further in 2004). Sure, Seoul had lots of 200-300 pax/day long-hauls to Europe and North America, which a large fleet of 767ERs would've served nicely (and I did get almost 50 767s before bankrupting, owning seven of them), but I did need a nice short-haul network to really finance the long-haul expansion, which Seoul simply couldn't deliver.

Hong Kong - Chek Lap Kok (HKG) to Taipei Taoyuan (TPE)  10820 passengers / day
Lets say thats the record for now... if somebody can find one with more demand...

Tenerife

Aah... Sapporo New Chitose (CTS) to Tokyo Haneda (HND) has more demand
15740 passengers / day    "NEW" (CX717 already said this one) RECORD

I think you can have already a big airline only flying on this route
For example flying A320s = 105 flights

One A320 can fly 4 times a day, so you need 26 planes !!

CURRENT RECORD: 15740 pax/day  CTS - HND
