Within the current financial system, any airline can afford marketing.


Sure, if you're running a spamline that uses maxed out configs and little to no IFE/IFS while flooding every single route you can get your hands on. For those of us who are slightly more realistic... not so much.

Precisely, with 0% - 2% profit margins and acquiring planes at the same time, it really hurts your airlines and marketing just ain't a choice

Even with my third-rate-7 million-DOP-above-LCC-service-60-plane-regional airline in R2, I could afford at least a 3% rating increase in marketing...and still had a 6-7% profit margin overall.

I could even afford throwing each and every plane out after 5 years and keep my fleet up-to-date.

Sounds like your configs are maxed. Also, flooding much?

That's what I though and raised it with Yuxi. Seems it is four members of the same household so all above board. Oh and yes the moon is made of cheese.


No its just the same person using multiple email accounts when I first started I did that but then I realie it was dumb and I had better things to do than make 1000 email accounts for airline empires (no offence I absolutely love this game)

I have tested it and yes it does work but you have to spend SOOOOOOOOOOOoo much money that it is not worth it.

 

I do not agree.  I'm laying planes down on the most congested routes.  Taking 30% at a shot.  And marketing is getting me them 100 % loads.
