I have never played as a broker, nor have I even used their services. I'm not yet sure of the advantages this could bring, so I'm glad if there will be one in that world.

I have sent an email to make the official request to implement Anzatax as the broker.

And Anzatax, if ever you do find it boring or too much to handle, I suppose you can inform us and we could remove you from that role?

Cheers!

Thanks for giving me the role! I will tell you if I ever get bored or have too much to handle. :)

Matias, do you have any tips for a first-time broker? I don't want to mess things up :P

Keep in mind your maintenance costs. Try to have your leases cover your maintenance costs, they usually do at 6-10% monthly fee (percentage of purchase price). Leases for one year or two are good, any longer and they will hurt maintenance.
Selling aircrafts through the request feature is a big income boost as you only pay 85% of the price to the manufacturer. That way you can give a slight discount (start with 2-4%) to airlines. Long time customers might get other discounts, it's up to you.

Now, you're playing as an airline too, so maintenance is less of an issue. This might let you lower prices more, just be careful not to flood the market with cheap aircraft.

If you have specific questions about the workings of the brokerage system just let me know in a PM :)

It can be challenging when you get many orders and have to prioritize, but it can be very quiet many times
Sounds kinda fun. Maybe I'll try out the position when I have more time! :D

Thanks for setting him up, Matias.

Anzatax : you are officially the world broker now :)

Perhaps you should introduce your role in the in-game forum, and let players know how to use/access your services, and the benefits they could gain?

Good luck to you!

Well, after I got my somewhat messy airline (due to the new aircraft and to newly-delivered aircraft) in order, I did an introduction for the brokerage. Go ahead and read it in Thunderstruck's world, and maybe tell me what I missed out? :D

Do you need knowledge in programming to update the airports Matias?

No programming knowledge is needed, it's pretty much just inputting the right numbers in an excel-file. Would you be interested in helping?

The introduction on the world forum looks good, very good explanations there! Can I borrow it for when I need to introduce my services next time I broker?

Does helping with the airports make one a moderator and part of the staff?

Of course you may use that! I was wondering how I could save it down for future use! :P

I don't know what you get by helping, but I hope that knowing you are helping is a reward in itself :)
