Title: Standardizing Airport Names
Post by: Thunderstruck on July 04, 2016, 01:38:26 pm
Dear Airline Mogul Team,
I have a simple suggestion, which is that all airport names throughout the game should be indicated in a standard way, always listing the city name first.
Many airports are already listed in this manner:
* Paris - Charles de Gaulle * Paris - Orly
But then more often than not, we have names of the airport alone, which most players will not be familiar with.
Just to look at Mexican airports (for example), we find:
* Abraham González International * General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International * General Ignacio Pesqueira García International * General Juan N. Álvarez International * General Mariano Escobedo International
I think since city names are not indicated, players are less inclined/attracted to opt to operate flights to those cities.
I would suggest therefore a standard format in airport names, for which in the example above the names would become:
* Ciudad Juarez - Abraham González International * Tijuana - General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International * Hermosillo - General Ignacio Pesqueira García International * Acapulco - General Juan N. Álvarez International * Monterrey - General Mariano Escobedo International
Basic format : [City Name] - [Official Airport Name]
This change would affect many airports listed, but I would be glad to help the Airline Mogul team in amending these, if needed.
Just another suggestion for your consideration.
Best regards,
Thunderstruck

We have the city locations of many airports already in the system, look at the rent gate page where it is. Now, displaying that information when looking at your airline is something different, I don't know how Stephen thought about that :)
