Game Strategy / Re: Long haul or not?

« on: July 22, 2011, 11:08:13 am »

As you know im in that world, my DOC was 60million when i started doing long haul, and i have over 30 billion in the bank. Just make sure you replace a/c religously to avoid spiraling mx costs. I use a few ac, just to let you know, do a bit of research, dont give into the 707's as there others that are cheaper and can earn you more.

In PW#1956 im serving an airport with 35 PAX with a BAC 111-500, makes me €57,583 profit. So the remote airports can make money.

So true! I'm LMAO at all them airlines flying to "premium" hubs only, eating each others profits. You make as much on flights to tiny hubs while having zero competition (unless there's someone with the same strategy, obviously). Which saves you tons of route price changes and the additional administration fees

Yeah my hub is LHR and everyone else is just serving CDG FRA DUB and so on so on. I've got 400 odd flights, mostly to airports under 2mill PAX and my doc well over 35mill

Game Strategy / Re: Business jet airlines

Has anybody tried basing their airline on business jets? What is the best way to utilize these jets?

 I had an airline based on British Airways, i operated 2x Airbus A318 Elite+ out of LCY flying to Shannon in West Ireland then onto JFK. Made a good profit too! Obviously i had my other 200+ flights to back me up so it didnt matter if the business jets went t*ts up. If i was you, give it ago, could be very profitable you never know!

So far, it is  € 59,180,371. Awaiting orders for my 15 ATRs.

In a previous world i made long haul work with a DOC of just 10million, im sure you could make it work with that high of a DOC. just dont go buying 747's just yet. I had a fleet of 10 757-200 and 10 767-200ER in my previous world flying routes from London Heathrow to the US and Canada, middle east and Asia. It wasnt very profitable but i didnt go bankrupt, i did it for the prestige and ofcourse the enjoyment. With your DOC, im sure it will be a profitable cause. Also as you have 3 hubs, fly to each long haul destination from each of those 3 hubs.

Well, in my last airline, I had a DOC of just below 70 Million and after I started using long haul a/c, I ended up going bankrupt, because of the fact I couldn't find time to replace them. I ended the world with a balance of negative 20 billion ( ). So, I am planning to start long haul after reaching an 150 ~ 200 Million DOC (that's a LOT)

Yea, my fleet was quite young and i managed to stay proftiable as there was only 8/9 years left in the world
