Title: Route Image
Post by: Spotter2004 on June 06, 2026, 05:33:05 PM
Hello everyone,

If I change the flight times and assign the flight to a different (type of) aircraft, but with the same flight number, will the route image remain the same?

Under what circumstances does the route image change?

Thx

Route Image starts at 0 and grows to 100. Every week that a single flight occurs, the route image increases by 1 (this could be wrong). Every week there are no flights on the route, it drops by 5 (this figure could also be wrong). It can climb faster if there is advertising on the route, but I don't believe will climb if there are no flights. So advertising without a flight is a waste of money.

yep. The mechanism is as I described, nowhere does it state that flight number or time matters.

To provide a little context that may be useful to understanding the above. Route image is between airport pairs, not attached to any specific flight. It doesn't matter the flight number, time or aircraft you fly so long as you fly it, image will grow.

I believe it may also be affected by a really poor on time/cancellation rate. Generally, speaking so long as your scheduling is sensible, that won't come into it.
