Quick Question About Frequency

What determines the amount of frequencies a plane can do on a route? I just don't understand. Thanks:)

Time to fly the route (Block time), like if it was 2 hours, and the plane has 22 hours free then you can do 11 frequencies. But it also depends on gates, if you have 5 slots free at both airports you can only do 5 frequencies!

That plus the it takes to turn the plane around each direction.

Edited to include block time.

lol, sure make my post look useless.

Thanks everyone!

Of course, economic factors play a part too. If I were to dump 5x 753 on SEA-YVR, and you had an E175 on the route, it would be too expensive to operate more than a couple frequencies.

That depends on how big of a hub you operate. If I have a B739 on LAX-SFO at 8x daily and then someone tries to throw an A333 at the route, I will lose very little profits. The other person will have to lower his ticket prices and may just barely make a profit.

Ahh, that helps too. I am starting to understand this competition stuff.:shappy:
