Title: (Moved) Aircraft On Routes
Post by: steventommyobama on October 02, 2009, 11:29:28 pm

Airline ID: 30058-United Airlines UAL
World ID: 882
Current World Year: 1993
Current Bases: Chicago O'Hare Denver International Washington Dulles
DOC: € 33,380,476

I probably should know the answer but it still makes no sense at all to me, why are other airlines able to charge more than me with smaller planes and still have 100% loadfactor on that route?  It doesn't make any sense in the real world.

Its because the economic model in AM is " Lower price, more people will fly" <- That sounds astonishingly similar as what VIrgin Blue saids in their in-flight magazine for starting DJ.....

I suppose your plane is a DC-9, with 115 seats. Then you'll need lower price to attract 115 people to fly with you.

Whereas your competitor, Airline A, uses CRJ-100, with 50 seats. Then he/she will only need a price that 50 people will be willing to fly with you, which is, of course, higher than what your price have to be.

The correct answer is... it depends.

Usually the best way to find out is trial-and-error with various aircraft.
