AFAIK the price of a gate depends on the pax numbers. Above 50M its 350k per gate. Where will the 400k start? When KATL pax number is above the 100M mark? I suggest that the gate cost should be raised on an earlier level. Lets say 75M pax = 400k and 100M pax = 500k (although there is no airport with that number yet). A different way could be:
Leave it the way it is up to 30M pax and raise the gate costs every 10Mpax by 50k (or make it 100k).
>30 and <40M pax = 350k
up to 50M pax = 400k
up to 60M pax = 450k
up to 70M pax = 500k
up to 80M pax = 550k
up to 90M pax = 600k
It is still not much for the biggest airports (2.5k per slot a game day) but it will slow down the developping speed of those airlines that have their hub there. I am just thinking of the cost to build a terminal at KATL :lol: Isnt it 50x the price of a gate? Would be 30M here :shock:

This is great on paper, but I don't think this would be very beneficial. Airlines that are based in smaller airports (Airports where pax # is x<1 mil) would basically be but in a very bad place, as they would not be able to make much profit on those routes, especially when the 3rd or 4th airline gets on the route. I personally don't think the game is moving that quick as a few larger city airlines tend to say, but that is just a opinion of a small town airline.
