You do know that each gate can handle up to 10 flights?

if your aircraft still have hours, get more gates and make more routes. once your aircraft has no more hours left then its just sit and wait until you can rake in enough cash to buy/lease your next aircraft, and it goes on and on and on and on.  :lol:

There is no need to make them all at 100%. You goal is to maximize profit, not gate ultilization.

When you grow to a point you can afford buying planes, create a second focus city close toyour homebase, and fly to those gates you already have. That would make your airline more efficient. However, if you want to fly multiple flight to a destination from the same origin, it is often better to leave those gate slots unoccupied.

Go to "view and buy" page. There is a column that says hour. That is the hour left on the plane.

ummm... the page before that. The hour column is on the fleet summary page, not the info page of individual plane.

Good cat, now if you have money then rent more gates at airports close to you with a decent passenger amount and wait for your cash to increase.

Yah, 5 gates at 10% use will give you much more money in your situation than one gate at 50% usage.

After looking at Kit Kat's airline information, I PM'd him with some things to note (i.e., 1-frequency is much better than 4).

Best of luck, Kit Kat!

You forgot to tell him that he has to create routes to the airports he rented gates.
