I just started the game and have some flights going. I'm based in Osaka Itami. Whenever i try to look at routes to other countries, no information of the airport show up. No estimated passenger demand or general distribution, no info on other airlines or other routes. Why is this? is there some sort of buffer period from when you start to you can schedule international routes? thanks in advance!
Osaka Itami is a Domestic Airport, if you go to the Airport Information page for that airport, you will see the distribution of Domestic, International and Long Haul International Flights.
ahhhhh, ok. So would i have to take off from the other Osaka airport or tokyo instead?
Yep, you need to find an airport with some sort of International demand to fly outside of your own country. Those would be options for you, there are probably a few others in Japan other than that as well, look at the Airport information page for each to find out.
