Game Strategy / When to open a new hub?

« on: January 04, 2015, 11:50:37 pm »

I have been playing AM for upwards of 5 years however stopped playing for a while and recently have started up again. I am of course using the premium Gate Search (I'm no rookie ) however I need some help with expanding my airline. I have a general "business plan" set up in terms of where I want to open hubs and I am already in an alliance.

My DOC is over 10 million already which is good but not great. I have regularly in the past opened up anywhere from 2-7 bases but still to this day never knew when the right time to "make the leap" and open a new one.

Currently I am based at LAX and am allowed 4 bases. I have plans to open in IAH (to play off of my alliance members DFW base and allow him to do the same at IAH) and then another at JFK  after that with the 4th open to something more obscure and fun like Honolulu or a foreign base in Europe or something.

So my question is, when should I open up in Houston? My thoughts are that I would need 10-15 of my primary use aircraft (A320-200) and 15-20 combined of my smaller regional aircraft (ERJ-145 and ERJ-170STD) I also thought maybe I should make the 170s into ERJ-190s as they are slightly bigger and just ditching the 170 fleet all together.

thoughts?

If something, for example a boing 737-200 Adv. is 5 years old but it is unused is it a smart buy? Not that I need any in my current worlds but for future reference.

Game Strategy / What do I do next?

« on: March 29, 2011, 03:03:57 am »

Ok so I've got my basic stuff done.

5x 727-200's (these were the startup aircraft)

They are all currently running at full force each day.

My DOC is: 1,548,300

Right now my bank Balance is: just over 51m

Should I buy some cheap aircraft or wait a real life day or 2 and then buy a few more expensive aircraft. I'm looking at the 737-500 is this a good idea?
