Hi all

I am playing my 1st ever game so its all new to me. I now have got to a point where I have a couple of million in cash but I have used up all the hours for the one aircraft I have got. I don't have enough to buy another aircraft yet so how to I expand ?

Thanks
Matt

See if you can lease an aircraft..otherwise you'll just have to wait till you get more money.

What's your airline?

amber valley airlines

Can you link to it?

Not sure how,

I have managed to lease a super748 for 12 months which has given me scope to increase routes.

Many thanks

Try not to lease very much aircraft. If you notice, the bigger airlines almost never lease any aircraft, it's one of the ways to make more money. And also, make more 'less-profitable routes' within a very close range than little 'big routes' in a large area.  I think that way is more effective then the other kinds of starter ways.

depending on how busy your base airports are, try making routes to small airports as they are probably more profitable than competitive routes

A plane flying many small routes seems to do better than flying a few long routes, unless it's a new world and competition is slim. Leases are good as long as you shop around and know you're getting a good rate and return it as soon as you can afford to buy the aircraft from the mfr.
