I have just come to a world that has already been started...there are certain airports that have no gates available....but could be very profitable for me (or for others...) but "for certain reasons"(political, mainly) I can´t make a terminal.

The point is that I think that if someone builds a terminal there is going to "free" gates on the "public" airport...but if he makes the terminal....he can construct MORE gates than the ones he need....and that could be a great oportunity to lease the newly built gates in that terminal.

That could make even more profitable the construction of terminal (tought, that could also help your competitors....but it could be contrarested if you decide to lease or not the newly constructed gates, depending on the airline)

what do you think??


also...what about charging for "check-in and baggage" as it works in the real world?

again, what dou you thing?? im new in this game, but I like it man!

Well, that's if you fancy waiting quite some time ... actually ...

Has also been thinking of that... would be a good way to get rid of the problem with no gates available which i can find a little annoying sometimes when i plan a route but then theres no gates available.. would be a really good way to solve that problem !

Just wait a century or two and you'll have that update complete for you.

this could be abused though, you can just build like a 999 gate terminal and so, all the airport would have basically unlimited gates because airlines would keep building terminals

[KJS607]

Do people not do this anyway in-game?

I sure do for one

[pseudoswede]

There is a certain satisfaction of taking the last gate at an airport, knowing my competitors cannot fly there if they don't already have a gate. Otherwise, you just have to wait and monitor the airport in question.

I keep of list of airports with 0 gates, and I check every month to see if any have opened up.

Agree with this new leasing issue.

It can work this way:

1. Leasing gates only to alliance members;
2. Leasing gates only to everyone (excluding alliance members), or;
3. Leasing gates to (i) alliance members and (ii) everyone.

With respect to the price, it can be this way:

1. The same as airport's price;
2. Higher than airport's price in (put your number) times;
3. Up to player (from $1 and to the endless universe).
