Last post by Archer619 - Yesterday at 12:30:10 PMJapan Aero Transit: Reclaiming the Western Japanese Skies
OSAKA, JAPAN (06-Jan-2003)
＝＝＝＝
A new era for Western Japanese aviation begins today with the official establishment of Japan Aero Transit (JAT).
Based in the heart of the Kinki area, JAT is launching its first stage of operations to redefine the regional travel experience.
For too long, the Japanese aviation landscape has been dominated by a Tokyo-centric narrative.
JAT was founded to "Discover the missing part out of Tokyo", shifting the focus back to the vibrant economic and cultural hubs of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto.
Our initial network focuses on strengthening the vital links within the Kinki area and beyond, ensuring that Western Japan receives the dedicated service it deserves.
meanwhile, we seek to partner with world-class carriers to enhance the connections between the international community and Western Japan,
providing a seamless gateway for global travelers entering the Kansai region.
Join us as we take flight. Experience the precision of a carrier that puts the region first.

The latest round of the popular Modern Times game world is now open! This game lets you take control of your airline in the modern era. You will begin in 2003, as the industry starts to recover, and can manage your airline all the way into 2035.
» Join The Modern Times!
This game world follows the standard settings for long AirwaySim games:
- Time span: 2003 - 2035, at 30 minutes per game day.
- Normal difficulty level, Medium length scenario.
- All airports worldwide and all aircraft models included.
- Overall play duration is about 8 months
- Special rule: The "out of HQ" aircraft limit is disabled (geopolitical limitations are still in force).
If it has been a while since you started at early stages in a major AirwaySim game, here are a few reminders and tips:
- The game clock is paused for the first day and will start moving after 24 hrs.
- The used aircraft market will refresh several times during the first static 24 hour day (but you can only make two orders for aircraft during the first day).
- There is a good supply of used aircraft available to begin with, but the used aircraft market will soon become limited and the popular aircraft types are sold/leased very quickly. Take care when picking the aircraft you plan to use and plan to order aircraft directly from the manufacturers.
- New aircraft ordering will be available after the time starts to move (= from day 2 of the simulation), but it is of course always recommended to lease several used aircraft to begin with.
- Be patient with the route sales figures since your Route Image grows slowly. Do not spend all your cash on planes at once, remember to leave a good reserve. It takes time to gain profits and there might be unexpected early problems..
- Some popular airports will for sure become limited on airport slots soon. This is normal and you should use larger aircraft or other airports in that case. Please remember that slots are only available when the airport infrastructure expands.
- The passenger demand will grow steadily during the course of the game, and is rather low at the very beginning.
- Consider joining an alliance from early stages of the game, they are great resources for improving your game play (tips and help from fellow players).
- Remember to read the AirwaySim Manual to learn more, and join the Discord chat to meet other players!

Announcements - History and the Future / JapanCommuter Celebrates Deliv...
Last post by Tujue - April 16, 2026, 10:04:08 PMJapanCommuter Celebrates Delivery of 100th Aircraft, Marking a New Milestone in Regional Aviation
NAGOYA — JapanCommuter today proudly announced the delivery of its 100th aircraft, a Convair CV-440, marking a significant milestone in the airline's steady growth and enduring commitment to regional connectivity across Japan.
Since its founding, JapanCommuter has evolved from a modest operation into a key regional carrier, linking communities across the country. The airline began service with a small fleet consisting of Bristol Type 170 Wayfarer and Douglas DC-2 and DC-3 aircraft, which played a foundational role in establishing reliable domestic air links. These historic aircraft have only recently been retired, closing an important chapter in the company's development.
The addition of the Convair CV-440 represents both continuity and progress. The type builds on the airline's long-standing experience with Convair aircraft, including the earlier CV-240, and complements a diverse fleet that has included Douglas DC-4, DC-6, and DC-7 aircraft. Together, these aircraft have enabled JapanCommuter to expand its operational reach while maintaining dependable service standards.
From its primary operating bases in Nagoya, Komatsu, Sapporo, and Naha, JapanCommuter has steadily expanded its network, supporting regional mobility and economic activity. The airline's fleet strategy has emphasized proven, versatile aircraft capable of operating efficiently across a wide range of routes and conditions.
"The delivery of our 100th aircraft is a moment of reflection as much as celebration," said a company spokesperson. "From our earliest days operating piston aircraft to today's modernized fleet, our focus has remained consistent: connecting communities safely, reliably, and efficiently. The Convair CV-440 symbolizes the next step in that journey."
JapanCommuter plans to continue optimizing its fleet and route network to meet evolving passenger demand while maintaining its operational heritage and regional focus.

Game talk - Beginner's Worlds / Re: Advantages of not carrying...
Last post by 11Air - April 16, 2026, 10:57:45 AMYes, you will need more personnel to handle the cargo, and maybe a fork truck or two too, with some hanger space and some cheap labour to manage the collection and sorting the storage of the cargo, in-coming and delivered by road, to it's destination, to or the aircraft that's going to the right place! And all staff working in the live area of the airport must wear hi-vis clothing, and attend health and safety courses to work in the live areas of the airport. That's why air-mail and air freight is so expensive!

General forum / Marketing
Last post by stattohogg2020 - April 15, 2026, 01:38:18 PMWouldn't it make sense to be able to choose a base airport for a general marketing campaign, so that a campaign for around your base airport/city, would be for a specifice base?
