Time to look at your finances, i reckon. Cut leasing costs, get rid of surplus gates, all that stuff
-
I dont see anything strange in the finances? Your costs seem to have gone up quite a bit in the last 3 months, but nothing strange appart from a while pile of new gates.

Save up some of your cash at the end of the month, and you will miss the minus sign.

Planes shouldn't be leased unless absolutely necessary- they simply cost too much, leaving you with negative cash at the end of the month.

As I have illustrated once, that is not always true. You just have to evaluate the lease rate before leasing a plane. :roll:

It is true.... just make sure you do the maths right. Remember, AM only have 24 days per month.
Leasing will help you if: you know how much money you will make with that plane in certain routes.
If you never lease any planes... you will take a looooooooooong time to get your first jet.
For example:
normally a 500 nm route will gives you a $100,000 return in 6 frequencies a day with 50-seater passenger plane. If you can cope with the competition, you'll at least earn $ 2,000,000 per month (assume that your DOP is decreasing due to increasing competition). And in world 4, i found that the market rate to lease a 50-seater plane is between 800,000 to 1,200,000 (Dehaviland Canada (now Bombardier) Dash 8Q300). Leasing rate <$ 1,000,000 is a very good deal for sure. Cause you'll be making $ 1,000,000 more every month from that leased Dash 8Q300.
Now leasing doesn't seem too risky isn't it?
Plane owners, if you have a very marketable aircraft (e.g. ATR-72, Dash8Q300, and Boeing 737), instead of selling them out, why not lease? You'll get constant revenue no? Unless you need the money immidiately. (i tell you this because i found that the used aircraft sales market is far bigger than the leasing market here, which is a bit funny).
-
Marketable planes could be sold for 133% it's cost, which mean if I sell 3, I could buy 4 and sell those and buy 5 with money left. Selling could be quite profitable because it snowballs.

When we go into a supermarket, we look at the price of the goods. It is the player's fault for not looking after their own finance. 8)

My maintenance costs are 87 million euros. This is ridiculous. I should have never leased out the 9 caravelles I bought a couple days ago.
EDIT: perhaps not, I own big planes and I own 46 of them. Last round, the costs were lower because I leased them.
