Title: Where should I hub next?
Post by: BINDU on May 15, 2011, 11:00:45 pm
So I'm Delte Airlines in PW #1924.

Airline Mogul - See my airline (http://www.airlinemogul.com/airlinemogul/show_airline.php?id=24796&wid=1924)

My goal has been to emulate real world Delta Airlines, and I've gotten the following hubs open
Hubs: ATL, DTW, JFK, MSP, and SLC...

But now I'm at an impasse. I'm not sure where to hub next. Right now I'm trying to decide between; CVG, MEM, LGA, ORD, MCO, or DFW (all former/current Delta Hubs). Due to alliance commitments, LAX, DCA, and PDX are not options. My DOC is currently € 86,402,896, and I've got 25x CRJ-100, 15x A319, and 3x CRJ-701LR on order and ready to base tomorrow at whatever airport I end up choosing.

First of all, thats one hell of an airline!
Not being American i dont know the routes very well, but from what i've seen of your aircraft orders, i'd choose a hub with good reginal routes.

If you want money and can deal with the competition go to ORD.

First off, you have built a great airline. What's your DOC?

Firstly to chose, is their any competion at DFW, if there isn't then go there as it is quite big.

If there is then is their comeption in LGA, ORD, MCO? If there isn't then choose ORD, or MCO.

If there is then choose one that you can over take.

I'm not afraid of Reyes Airlines because I have enough a/c to swamp him at either DFW or ORD.

Well your DOC is really high and you have a massive fleet, so no competition would be boring. I think you'll do great at whatever hub you chose, just pick which one suits the aircraft you will be flying from it best.

ORD has more airports under the 1100 nm range of the CRJ-100s I plan to operate, however DFW was a bigger Delta hub.

I'd go for ORD first then, then open up at DFW.

I'd go for ORD first then, then open up at DFW.

I can only open 1 more hub though

Um i see your problem here, if u want more use of the CRJ's i'd say ORD. But since money is clearly no problem, go for DFW as its a bigger Delta hub in reality

It would be between ORD and DFW, How many year left?

If you aren't already first, and there is less than 4 years left, then I would go for ORD.
But if there are more than 4 year left I would go for DFW, as it would look much more realistic.


If you are first, then choose either one.

I would also go to DFW, just cause that Global United was going to have their second largest hub at ORD.  :)
