I started my airline yesterday in AE 3.1 Beta - Realistic World (1990-2030) (20 min / day), then i leased A340-200 age by 7 years. suddenly, when i checked my airline after several hours, i found my airlines cash is -13millions, from airline finance i found my monthly maintenance for my a340-200 is 7millions/month. my question, how i know my monthly maintenance when i lease/buy aircraft from buy used aircraft market?

If you click on airline finance on the left hand menu, and click on aircraft maintainance, you will see the bill for each aircraft.
In the beta, you are penalised for having fewer aircraft and more aircraft types

But now, i'm just start the game, i found my airline not profitable even my DOP was 1,5M

Try to use only one aircraft for some time, like an ATR for local/regional routes. When you are making good money, buy your fleet and add a new type. Continue this, and make sure you don't use more than 4-5 types of aircraft. I'm using 3, the A319LR, 777-300ER, and A380. In a few months, when you are more familiar with the game, you will know how to splurge and survive

thanks bugatti

[Mr Tree]

You are welcome . I learned the hard way. I lost at least 5 airlines to bankruptcy before I watched my fleets.

[Adaptice]

hopefully my airline doesn't go to bankruptcy, although my airline is growing so slowly

[Mr Tree]

Poking around on your airlines, you may want to get rid of the oddballs(aircraft you only have a few of) before they rob you. I like each aircraft type to be a tenth or more of my fleet. Constant bankruptcies forced me to be like this Your A340 that is causing you your problems would save you a lot if it were gone.

I got the point Bugatti, i can't stand on just 1 or 2 aircraft for each aircraft family to cut-off the fix monthly maintenance expense right?

[Mr Tree]

Right. I've also given you shared control of my airline Eagle Air. It has been a while before I replaced the 7+ year old aircraft, but the airline is sustainable. Since I am waiting for the world to end anyway, do what you want and learn from the fleets and all, but especially your mistakes. Don't be afraid, I've lost interest in the airline.

I'm not interested with Open Worlds, but i think i'll try. Thank You Bugatti

[Mr Tree]

Any time. Lose as much as you want, the airline would have died off anyway.
