How much cash do you keep?

[Virgin Serbia]

The question is simple, how much cash does your airline have.

Do you spend it as fast as possible, or do you save vast amounts? And how much does you airline have at the moment?

My strategy is to save up money, and only purchase new aircraft in larger batches every now and then, with most new aircraft replacing older types. My airline currently has €630.000.000 in cash. My DOP is 11.5 mio...

Most of the quick expanders buy as many planes as fast as they can...
Why would you buy planes in large batches?
Every hour that you could have a plane on routes means an hour without the plane's profit....

I use it up as quick as I can - so for 80% of the day I have negative money (probably not the best idea but its working ok). I have a dop of 6 and a half mil and my my airline value is 130.000.000 so you have 5 times the value of my airline in cash. My not spend it? If you spend that, your DOP could increase so you have 300.000.000 a month - thats my 2 cents

Why? I dont have time to open new routes all the time, and it opens the possibility to replace all my aircraft of a certain type very fast, and expand. Thus i keep the game easy (for me), and i keep costs low...

I can order 10 737-800 if i want, and have them all delivered by Friday afternoon. I could not do that if i ordered just one at a time...

I spend it all in one go as soon as i can.

Thats what I do there is no point of paying maint. while a plane sits there delivered while im at school.

Generally I try to keep €100 million just in case.

You're eventually going to get hosed by maintenance fees. Might as well spend it all before the month change.

Fine then! Just requested 5 737-800s and 2 777-200ERs from Skylite. That should keep my funds down for a while

The benchmark I like to keep is that if I'm not negative in cash for the first year, something's seriously screwed up.

[Hayman]

i don't even keep a month's cash, i just spend it all 1

But i have 14 mil per month

[mnfbn]

Spent all the money that my planes earn to acquire new planes.

[pharmy]

In the evening I spend my money on 1 large ac, 2 180 passneger ac and 3-6 50-100 ac, around 20+ mil DOc it seems like a good strategy

[iranair777]

at the moment in one of my testing worlds I have upwards of probably 20billion lying around. I have already about 400 aircraft with dozens more bases. I plan to still expand but I will donate some virtual money to virtual charities XD

[Vamerica]

I spend all at once, or ill save for a plane. Once in World 6, i saved for a week and had 2 billion saved or something, just to buy lots of A320's coming out at the month change.
