I dont know if this is right here, but i have a problem!
No more Gates are left in Frankfurt! (FRA)

Thi Big airlines have these Gates:

Star Flight: 12
Euro Lines: 12
Denny-Fly: 12

And another airline hast 112 Gates rented!
Kapellen Airservice: 112, ans they only have 82 flights, an Utilisation of 7%.
They dont need so much Gates!
So why dont this Airline Return the Gates to let other airlines grow up?

sounds like someone is gate hogging. I'm sure some one will look at it.

They wont be able to hold onto the gates, they will be automatically returned.

The same Problem at other airports, i have seen in the list:

Kapellen Airservice has these Gates:

FCO Rome Leonardo Da Vinci : 116

FRA Frankfurt : 117

LEI Almeria : 118

PRG Prague Ruzyne : 138

I think a lot of Airlines cant rent Gates at this airports!
Why didnt the Gates return?

:cry:

It depends on how they do it, may be they did return and they simply rented them again, or they may have another way that we are going to fix.

We will keep trying more methods including auto-return without warning for gates that you have more than may be 5, where 1 in 2 are returned. For example ABC Airlines rents 10 gates at X and does not use them, at the month change 5 are returned straight away and 5 are tagged for return next month. But DEC Airlines has 4 gates at X airport too, they do not use them. The 4 gates are tagged for return but none are returned automatically.

The problem now is they have started using routes to tie them down, which I was afriad would happen...
