They allow you to expand your hubs when it runs out of gates. And the monthly cost goes down by I think 25%.

You don´t have to pay gate rental fees. I my case I have built a terminal with 5 gates at Gothenburg-Landvetter for around 13 500 000€ and before i did that my fees for having five gates at GOT were 500 000 a month. So after 27 months I will start earning money from having my own terminal.

... but you pay 75% of gate rental as upkeep.

So what is better, having your own terminal or renting gates? I have to wait a while to build one, as I have just started my airline.

Do your own calculation...

Don't build a terminal yet unless you're just so flush with cash you can do anything you want, or the airport you're based at has no more gates.

Anyone want or need gates at PIT? There are 7 more gates available now -- considering I just built my own terminal!!!

A DOP of 6mil is good for Australasia, PAX is low, prices are low, I'm there with ya, I understand

. although my DOP is almsot 9.5mil from AU and another 3mil from MOSCOW

Me in a test world am getting about 2.5million DOP from my sydney hub. and this is with me making 1.8billion a day, therefore being able to afford every aircraft. And this is without competition so I'm really suprised how the donkeys you have got a 6 million DOP
