TARDIS reaches 1 Million mark

Munich-- TARDIS Travelways CEO, Dr. Tom Baker, was all smiles today as he greeted airline staff members at Munich's Franz-Josef Strauß airport. The occasion was a happy one, as the boss was there to announce that TARDIS had reached the 1 million passenger milestone.

"This is a good day for the airline," commented Dr. Baker. "We begin 2001 as the world's most traveled airline. Of course, we continue to look for ways to keep attracting new passengers, and hope that expanding at our current bases and introducing some larger planes to the fleet will allow us to keep growing."

In mid-December 2000, TARDIS welcomed aboard passenger 1 million. At the beginning of January 2001, the airline was welcoming aboard 1,043,928 travelers each day.

TARDIS announces Supersaver Fares

LONDON -- Has TARDIS Travelways gone mad? Maybe that's what some investors think, but passengers are loving the insanity. To celebrate Y2K, TARDIS has announced that it is introducing new Supersaver fares on some selected routes. Passengers can expect to save up to 100 Euros more than the normal fares offered by other airlines.

"It just came to me, why not do something to ring in the new year?" mused Doctor Tom Baker, CEO of the airline. "So I hopped on flight 1057 up to Inverness, enjoyed a wee nip, and insane fares is what I cam up with."

This reporter is still unsure if this was a stroke of genius by Dr Baker, a bad move for the airline, or a whiskey fueled whimsy. But it is good to know that even when on holiday, the CEO is checking up on his airline's status, as seen in this file photo.

Ah, so you do your route distance research the right way. I just click and hope that I have a plane that has the right number of hours and is within range.

But come to think of it, that's pretty much how I've always managed computers: Just click around until things start working.

Game Strategy / Re: Best Airport to Start in

« on: August 09, 2009, 04:50:04 pm »

I think CHR is correct in his post; you should find a balance and not necessarily hop right in to the big airports unless you're willing to do the work to keep up with it.

Personally, it's up to any player to decide what sort of airline he/she wants to run. If you want to be a global force, you'll have to consider the big airports. But, if you are happy flying a small commuter airline, there is no need to create a hub at a monster airport. Consider your goals for the game: Do you want to be a major airline, just want to have fun, dominate a few mid-sized hubs (like Southwest, for example).

Usually, I find a mix and pick some airports that have some meaning to me (airports I like and have flown through, airports near where I live, etc.)

Have fun with the game!

I'm not sure I understand geography all that well, but what you have there looks neat-o.

TARDIS signs agreement with Airbus

Paris -- TARDIS Travelways announced today that they have inked a deal with Airbus Industrie which establishes a partnership between the two companies. Director of fleet operations, Dr. Patrick Troughton, was at TARDIS' base in Paris today to meet with executives from Airbus. "We have trended towards making the airline an Airbus friendly fleet, and this deal confirms that," said Troughton. "The American companies did have a lot to offer, but in the end, we went with one of our own. Our pilots seem to be pleased with this decision"

Troughton suggested that passengers will see more Airbus planes showing up on all routes while the airline phases out some of its previous aircraft. For shorter routes and for service to smaller airports, TARDIS has not given a firm word on which planes it is considering. Hints that a deal with ATR is coming have been seen, but British Aerospace still holds out hope that the London-based airline will consider buying British.

Wish granted, but now the 787 is the only aircraft in the skies. And all those passengers who don't live near major hubs are angry, and they are on their way to your house to riot.

I wish I could think of something tasty to fix for lunch.

Wish granted, but once in Ireland you are forced to follow around that awful Riverdance, and you go insane after about 3 performances.

I wish that going to the dentist would not be so terrifying.

Wish granted, but NASA forgot to convert the data into metric, so you crash land on one of Mars' two moons.

I wish The Simpsons would be funny again.

Wish granted, but the grammar police are going to enforce the evil, evil rules of German grammar.

I wish I had a golden ticket to go visit a chocolate factory.

TARDIS introduces two new liveries

London - TARDIS Travelways unveiled two new liveries on Airbus 319's which will be delivered at the end of 1998. Airline officials are undecided as to which of the two designs will appear on the majority of their fleet. "We'll leave that decision up to our passengers," commented Rose Tyler, customer relations specialist. "Do they prefer blue or black, that's the question."
