hubs: ORD KORD Chicago O'Hare International 5 gates 70%, OKC KOKC Will Rogers World 4 53%
Financial Situation:
DOC: € 1,757,606
Bank Balance: € 2,281,364
Airline Value: € 98,399,186
fleet: which aircraft types do you recommend me? own suggestions: the EMB145LR is doing EXTREMELY well, it should replace the 4 non EMB135LR/EMB145LR planes as soon as possible. For further expansion I plan to use a mix of EMB145LR and later the Boeing 717 (I am looking to forward to the new flagship!)
hubs: Chicago now makes a decent profit after I ceased approximately 10 routes (mostly Midwest). Nevertheless there seems to be no potential given the extreme competition and the ongoing price battles. Oklahoma is so far a huge success: all routes are profitable (about the level of Chicago but the profit is more evenly distributed). Unfortunately only monopoly routes have a decent yield and the market seems to be limited as there is yet no hub effect in the game (I was hoping to steal some traffic from DFW). Any ideas for new hubs?
routes: are there more routes with very good or excellent potential without any competition which I could serve with the EMB 145LR from Oklahoma City?
I am looking for a new hub: so far FLL seems to be the most underserved large US airport and I am eager to expand toward Latin America: any ideas concerning routes or other new hubs?
