« on: May 20, 2009, 03:24:29 am »

ive found some news articles showing the passenger volumes of 3 airports in india, and they are a bit higher than current airline mogul data,( however, these data could be older than the AM data), so can u plz just check them?

Hyderabad- http://www.hyderabad.aero/passenger_traffic_pop.html , or go to http://www.hyderabad.aero/airport/passenger.html n click pasenger traffic.

Mumbai- http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/business/mumbai-airport-voted-best-in-india_10049866.html

yes, but AM isnt entirely like the real world. You can just about make a profit (just like BA; they charged a high price, but didnt get a big enough profit mainly due to the cost of fuel)

oh yeah, i didnt realise about the increase fuel cost  

An interesting point for Concorde: The only plane that can have a round-world trip.

Say:
ORD -> SEA -> HND -> Moscow/Dubai -> LHR -> ORD

*Note: Im not sure if the Tu-144S can do this too

well thats sounds like one more reason to get a concorde 

I used the Concorde some time ago, and I think I could actually make a some profit with it. It has a relatively low number of passengers (maximising the fare) and can do a few flights. But I was renting them at quite a low cost, so avoiding the high purchase and maintenance costs.

well thats a good idea, hope can get a great leasing deal on it, but i think that would wholly depend on luck

« on: May 18, 2009, 10:42:14 am »

just a curious thought... i was wondering if concorde is very profitable? as in using a concorde allows you to charge more than other airlines on that route due to high status- is that taken into a/c? n wonderin if after 2003 oct, do they stop flying even though you own one, like in real life?

since if i had enough funds, i would love to have a concord in the game, its sounds realli cool  ,  , but is it worth?

n could someone explain me what does "fluctuating airports" and what are passenger n commercial aircrafts??

im new here, n hav a Q.
b4 i played a german game similar to this n there we could create routes from ny airport to ny airport as long as the dep airport was in the country whre my hub was.
so is that a real rule practised but not in airline mogul, or is it a rule only used in the german game?
