DOP

This may seem like a dumb question but I am new here and I don't know the answer to it.

How do people get their DOP so high? Mine is only like 77 thousand. :cry: Do you make a lot of flights? And would your prefer to fly into big airports or small airports with a few hundred thousand passengers there? Why?

You're new here and that's why your DOP isn't as high. Don't take that the wrong way, it just means you haven't been around for as long and therefore you have not had the time to grow. Those guys have been here awhile and have had time for their airlines to grow. That's one of the reasons.

I, personally, like flying to larger airports, but it depends on what your goals are.

how more flight you make, the more DOP you get.

if you want to grow fast use the following aircraft:
Fokker 27
ATR 72
boeing 737/airbus A320

SE 210 Caravelle Super 10B was the one I used to grow fast, and many other people use it as well.

I have 6 flights all of my gates cost $50,000. Should I fly into big airports or stick with small airports? And I didn't think on AM, Airbus has the A320. I only saw the A300

what world are you in? Im in World 8. I only see A300s from Airbus.

TDA · **Reply #7 on:** July 01, 2008, 08:27:04 pm

world 8 is now 12/3/1980

I'm in world 7 & 9, I don't like overflooded worlds (7 is new, 9 is old)

TDA, don't confuse the new guy. World 9 is the new one, 7 is full and 8 has been going for a while.

A good basic strategy is to fly short routes at 1.0 frequency with no or little competition using affordable aircraft. If you are stuck on choice of A/C see what the others are using. Don't let gates or aircraft sit idly.

I agree with DAK, but it works better for me to fly to airports near your base with gates that cost at least $200,000.

ok. Right now I am flying routes near my base but I am not making too much money. I made more money flying into big airports that weren't near my base.
