Title: A route question from a new guy
Post by: Dan380 on April 05, 2008, 05:51:32 pm
On another site (which I have quit in favour of this) I had a hub at Oslo, my small aircraft could not reach the UK from Oslo and remian in profit. So I started a frequent service to Stavanger on Norway's west coast. From here I opened up several routes to places in the UK and north-west europe. The routes were profitable, however the Oslo - Stavanger route was unnafected by this and so effectvley I was only serving Stavanger, despite wanting to serve Oslo with connecting flights. I wanted to use a similar system on here but was wondering whether the code on this site would allow it to work?
Thanks,
Dan Irvine.

It would be allowed if you were to create a hub in Stavanger. If you want to create flights, at least one of the two airports involved has to be one of your six maximum hubs.

It will work... to a degree.
If you make several connections from Stavanger then the traffic from those will have a positive effect on your Oslo - Stavanger route.
It will be noticeable, but small. Not enough, for instance, to justify having a high frequency service between those hubs.

I totally missed that part in the question :?
Add the two answers and you have the way to service Oslo and Stavanger :)
