Daily Pax Demand - Flexible

[MikeS]

A long term Request / Idea to make low demand destinations more attractive by eliminating daily flight need.

In AWS the system is based on flying at least daily to a given destination with a proper aircraft.
For many destinations that is not possible due to low demand.
Example: Europe - Africa. Distance is large and demand often less than 100 pax per day  so no viable
means exist to transport pax in AWS.

Solution:
If airline schedules flight on a given day, pax demand from one day earlier and one day later will slowly
start to shift to the day a service exists. It could be modeled to include +2/-2 days' demand at a lower max as well.

To avoid burdening the servers too much with calculations, the mechanism would only be active on routes that have
a certain ratio of pax - distance and be shown a s such in route planing window.

Cheers,
Mike

This is an idea I can get behind. I can't tell you just how many destinations I have that unfortunately are just too far to serve on a daily basis but with an aggregate 2x weekly flight would be quite apparently satisfied.

I thought about this some time ago, too... and I support its implementation!

In Airline Empires, this feature is in use. Nice to use.
