That's why the Emirates is one of the best Airline's and widely known as wel throughout the world, they knew how to put out their message and sell their ticket's. Now my question is, is there some sort of airline advertisement ?

What I know right now is that at least ticket pricing isn't the only way to get all the passenger's fly in your plane in this game; as is the case in real life, unlike a certain game I know of..

Leading me to my question's, what are the possibilites of promoting airlines in the game ? TV advertisement, newspaper's, special offer's or ticket sale's in certain period's of the year, sponsoring a football team maybe (Arsenal; Emirates), sponsoring a major event.. World cup ? Online sale's maybe, having the opportunity of selling ticket's through the internet (When it is available in the late period of the game).. Airline agent's..

The possibilities are endless, what can you say about that sami ?


Also, a suggestion, a sticky with all the question's assuming new forum user's want to know the answer's to.  :)

Yes, Emirates does practically sponsor everything. They are very good at advertising their product.

I wouldnt go as far as calling it the best in the world though, the airline is the best Ego Airline in the world though. Totally government backed, all fee's are controlled by the government, the airports are all controlled by the government. and we know how much money the U.A.E has to play with.

Anyway, the advertisment Feature is already on the list, and what your talking about, is likely to be included. :), so no worries!

I agree as it not being the best, but probably the most known really.. I know what it mean's for airline to be 100% government backed; I'm already finishing ground school in a month to fly one of their plane's - and no it's not emirates, they are competition.  ;)

Sorry to argue, the best known airlines are probably BA, LH, and the U.S. Carriers just be cuase they serve largers bases of population.

Won't start a flame war, but note that more people live in the area's where Emirate's serves it's destination's than the airline's your speaking of, plus they sponsor nearly every other major event or sport's team, not to mention their quality is WAAY better than BA or 'those' US carriers you speak of.  ;) Anyways let's leave it at that and keep on the subject mate.

Yes, but 300 Million people in the US know what Southwest, UA, and AA are. I can tell you very few people can even tell you what Emirates is ;)

Yes that's true but can you say the same for EU, Africa and Asia, let alone australasia ? 3/4 of the world live there, I doubt people in Asia hear more then US carrier's than they do the same for the Emirates. I under stand what you mean by the US/EU are more known because they mainly operate in developed countries and where airline travel is widely used. I've been on EK and BA.. Haven't really been on a NA carrier but I'd choose EK over any EU airline any day of the year.  ;D

Service really doesnt affect this much. UA has been around for ages, All of N. america knows what they are, so does alot of Asia, (eastern), Most of Europe, NZ and Australia. There service is nothing compared to EK's, but they provide service to a greater population. However, once EK becomes the humongeos giant that they are becoming, then Im sure more people are going to know what/where EK is.
