Which aircraft do you use? And where do you fly them to? And where are you based?

How many marketing campaigns do you use?

More info in general to give us the possibility to help you would be nice...

Pull your DC9 from the JFK route.  It is a hotly contested route and you are getting killed on frequency.

Put it on the DFW route.  To keep overhead down, dont open new routes until the ones you have are full.  Right now, the DFW/ORD route could stand another 10 DC9 routes without issue.

Also, dont fly just one route a day per plane.  Airplanes do not make money on the ground.  See how your DC9 to DFW gets back at 9:30?  It should be going back at 10:30.  And then again (TWICE) in the afternoon and once more in the evening.

hit the nail on the head! btw dc-9s will be harder to get profit off of soon. Get some used MD-80's or save up for some new A320's, B737's or MD"s

Thanks  all for the tips. Now one question remain:

How I put same plane in multi flight between same cities, like it was sugested?
Thanks

You add more routes to a plane the exact same way you added the first one.

Just create a new route that takes off at the later time, go to the Scheduling screen, and add it to the plane.  Keep doing that until there's no more time left that the plane can be in the air.

Just remember, when you create the new route, keep in mind what time it landed on the flight before that.

So, for example, if you have a DFW-ORD flight and the plane gets back at 0930, you won't want to schedule the next departure until 1030 (or whatever the turnaround time you want to use is).  If the minimum turnaround time for the plane you're using is 30m, the system will let you have another flight that takes off at 1000, but that will require such a fast turnaround that your flight will be late or cancelled a big chunk of the time.

very good explanation, thanks!
