My best suggestion to you, would be to drop the leased aircraft. And I also noticed that the airports you fly to are some of the most expensive in the world which is costing you a fortune. You also only have 11 flights on 5 aircraft. Try renting some gates at smaller airports and fly to those. With the occasional big one. Build yourself up ya know? Also make sure your loadfactor is at 100% if that means lowering the price a little, do it. If they are already at 100% try raising your prices a little. I believe I'm in that same world.

hello east west, thx for ur reply.
i have been trying to drop the leased aircraft, but dont know how to do it. can u please help? which page do i go to in order to cancel the lease?
and any small airports suggestion that will have high load factor?

If you have enough tokens, buy advanced gate search to look up any gates near your base. As East West said, try flying to some nearer airports to get max. use of your aircraft. ten short routes earning 60000 each (600 000) gives more money than four long routes earning 100 000 each (400 000).
Try to keep the frequency on 1, as it is the most economical given the limitations set by AM.

Unfortunately, it's down until further notice.
The most likely reason you're in debt is because you logged in at the beginning of the month. You pay all of your lease and gate rentals and maintenance costs on the 1st of the month, and you are often in debt the few days of the month. It's totally normal.
I would start investing in some 50 to 70-pax aircraft and start flying to all of the small airports surrounding HKG. I also noticed that you aren't flying to CAN, which is suitable for a 727.

thx for your advices..really help.
i notice there is a MD-83 for lease in the aircraft market. it is a good idea to lease planes? or is it a bad way to go?
-
If it's cheap, then yes. An average MD-83 earns 500-600 thousand per day. The lease cost is per month.

That number is so arbitrary. If he only uses it on one route, he won't be anywhere close to that number. He would need a minimum of 6, maybe 7, routes to reach that number--and, realistically, closer to 10 routes.
