DOP

[Rob Hirst]

You may think that it's easier in Europe but it's already got to silly season on fares. Some as low as 50euro!! My DOP is 12mill but in the last few days I've added 21 routes and 6 Constellation aircraft and my DOP has actually dropped!!!

I think you'll find that as time progresses some people will really start to feel the pinch and fall down the rankings. All good fun but bloody annoying!!

If it's from Big City to Big City, I'm not one bit suprised. Competition will get insanly rough from those areas rather quickly as they're the ones that most players want to fly from. If you base out of smaller airports, you'll have a slower growth in DOP, but the 50 Euro "Ryanair wannabes" will come much later and you won't have to deal with them as quick.

i've been preaching "base out of no more than 10m pax if you dont know how to deal with massive competition" because of this
