Can someone explain how airlines have placed orders for expensive aircraft like an MD11?

No such orders showing in the S2 world at the moment. With 31.5m in bonds and 15m in cash to start, it is possible to lease planes up to 46m or so.

Just goes to show you cannot watch Euro2012 and concentrate on AE! Someone has managed to purchase an MD83 but presumably by taking out bonds. Never bothered with bonds but suppose it might work. Suspect there will be a lot of early attrition will be interesting, for a short time.

Should you get the right plane and the right routes for it, taking out bonds shouldn't be a problem, but still it's a bit gambling especially early in the game world. :P

Being able to pay the downpayment is only half the problem...I have a feeling some people will have trouble taking delivery of their orders :whistling:

yep, looking at some airlines in the world I already predict that I will be able to join the world in a matter of a few IRL days (I predict that 75% of the airlines will go bankrupt)

Well, it's because this isn't a world for a rush expansion at the start... :whistling:

holdd onn ... the rank 1 in S2 is valued around 90 million with only 1 starting plane flying only one route. Ok, this dude might have taken bonds, the max should not be more than 30 million in total ... and now it's only Feb .... thoughts ????

Never considered loans but would have thought if it was money you had to pay back that it wouldn't boost the book value of your airline.


now for a daft question..... Is this a realistic and open world?

As far as I know, this is a Special World based on Realistic Regulations.

The valuation of an airline includes assets owned + cash on hand (simplified).

I sold the Md-83 because I was paying over 2 mil a month in maintenance costs. I replaced it with 4 ATR42-400, making as much a day as the MD-83 but only costing £775k in maintenance costs. Looks like I am not the only one from the 13 used MD-83's available.

That's actually what I like about this world: slow (more realistic expansion)
