Early stages

[Clark Kent]

Hey Everyone!!

I used to play this game and stopped and just got reconnected. I had a few questions. Modern times just started and I noticed that I am losing money.  My payloads are 35 to 40%. Is it normal for beginning of game. What are some strategies you recommend. Eager to get some feedback.

Cheers!

Your Route Image is low when you open a new route,and it takes time to build up.

Make sure you keep enough cash reserves...

Thanks for the input. I screwed up by leasing two other planes but I have no money to plan routes and I can't take out a loan. Any suggestions?

consider joining an alliance, then you can plug into their collective wisdom. But without looking at your airline perhaps store the aircraft, and wait for RI and CI to rise so passenger numbers and profit rise. The first year of a new game is very ying-yang, money comes in and you spend and are poor, then after a while you do another splurge and are poor, and so forth. It's a fine art of just barely dodging bankruptcy for the first year, while hopefully growing quicker than others at your base
