Title: Question about frequencies...
Post by: mcstennis09 on June 27, 2009, 08:29:17 am
I was just wondering why it is less profitable to have a 2-frequency route to somewhere rather than 1 frequency... I mean... in real life, don't airlines fly to places 7-8 times a day? Is there a way we could do that in the game? Sorry if this has been asked before.. DX

The way AM determine the loadfactor of a route is by the no. of seats provided.
In theory, on the same route, the fare of 2-fre A320-100 can be similar to 1-fre B753
as the no. of seats provided is similar to each other.
However, don't forget the cost of 2-fre A320-100 is higher than B753, as the distance travelled is doubled.
similar fare, similar revenue, but higher cost => lower profit
