The airline Aurigny 1620 is bankcrupty but still leasing several airplanes. Would it be possible to return these aircrafts?

General Chat / why, why, why!?!?
« on: August 09, 2007, 05:05:56 pm »
My DOP is 5million a day. Its really easy to make good Money in Europe in these days. On some routes I have just 2% market share but I make 45k a day with an single airplane. Just because I can ask for a high price for a 0.5 frequency. On other routes I have 10 flights a day and make 35k but 95% or 100% marketshare.
I once leased a Jumbo for 15million and when I calculated what I will earn I realised that small leased airplanes make a good revenue but my Jumbo produced a loss of almost 10million a month. So I waited until I could purchase the bird directly from Airbus.
There are so many routes were there is no competetor getting in your way. I will spread my wings to these routes. Especially small airports produce a good revenue because most players tend to have glamouros routes and big jumbos. I better stick with my puny little aircrafts and fly from small airports to small airports. When you create a route and you know that the passengers are about 1000 than you know you have to go for that route.

Err, why don't you just rent a gate on a different airport and send your ATR making Money?

One of my competitors dropped out. Therefore I own all of his routes, were I battled him alone. I fly to small airports and my airplanes do not make big amounts of money but as more you have as more money you make. I even built bases on small airports. When you make interesting routes from those small airports you can earn good money. If you can't afford big airplanes then buy more smaller ones or wait until you are fit enough to purchase the big ones! If you buy a big one new it takes much longer until the company delivers - keep that in mind. Smaller airplanes are faster in service because you don't have to wait so long!
I have withdrawn from two routes only. Just because they didn't make much money. There is one route in Europe were some guys battled over the price and the fare is 19,-€. So I looked for more interesting routes. I try to have my airplanes in the air all the time. Some of my airplanes are flying to 5 destinations, just to avoid them resting without earning. The Bombardier CRJ Planes are great to make big money by having several ones. Even the small Boeing 737 makes very good money. The ATR-72 is also not bad in producing big income. Those are very cheap airplanes, apart from the little more expensive 737. If your airplane is flying to 5 destinations and making 4 times 25k per day and another 15k per day for the 5th destination than you actually make a lot of money with one small airplane, like the Dornier 228. Don't go for the Jumbos early, stick with your small airplanes until you make enough money that you can easily go for bigger airplanes.
I started with a couple of Dornier 228 Airplanes. Sure, their old and tiny but they were available and more important they were very cheap. I still use them. I just ordered new ones to replace the Dornier's. When I ordered the replacements I had 90million left. The price is just 2million for a single Beech 1900D to replace my aging Dornier fleet.
Don't lease to much airplanes. Don't lease jumbos, just because you can fly a certain route. By used planes, you can use them right away because you don't have to wait for the delivery. Check the airplane prices if it makes sense to pay more than the new price for a used one. Sometimes its good to pay an overpriced and used airplane when you can use it right away. Sometimes you better wait for the delivery.
Look for routes were no one else is flying. Its easy to check out. Look at the Airport site of the departing airport and the arriving airport. There you can see easy if you will be the only one flying this route and if you are you can make higher prices than dealing with competetors.
Sometimes it is better to fly a route 10 times a day and sometimes 0.5 times a day. You have to try out with the prices and the amount of flights.
Don't give up your profitable routes with small airplanes just you can buy a jumbo after selling the small airplanes. They produce income while you can't play!

Does this mean that you can simply replace the aircraft or does it just close down all its routes.
