There is a new airline that has operated from my hub and is duplicating all of my routes AND setting the fares to a ridiculously low price so my planes are going half empty.
Is this allowed? They can't possibly be turning a profit from these routes now and there is no way to stop them?

Yes this is allowed, it is called competition.

theres nothing stopping them, this is the world of aviation, its harsh so deal with it.

When you put it that way...

[Alfrenzo]

Its allowed. But, you seem to be using more than a dash of hyperbole...

have you ever heard of lowering you prices? it helps if you plan to survive.

As said, he said prices were set ridiculously low

But as I said, he could be overusing hyperboles.

It happens all the times and although we considered it as an attack, we pretty much can't do anything with it. Well, it's a competition after all.

How low is it? I've seen someone dropped to $1 before and i can still survived. Providing do not change your price and frequency plus you need to add on better IFS and better seat pitch. Then wait until the competition die by itself because that is money losing scheme.

Thanks for the replies- as for the hyperbole , I don't think I was exaggerating . . Fares set to $20 for a 6 hour flight etc , not realistic but then again it seems like a good way to run an airline into the ground, just delete it when it goes bankrupt and start again.

hehe... isn't it funny how the pot calls the kettle black? 

you complain about people setting prices too low and you come in and flood the market and set prices very low. i don't have a problem with this, as it's a game and a competition, after all. i simply think it's funny how you complain about it when you do it yourself!
