Prestige for your airline. Dont build one when you only have one route.

Is that "prestige" simply theoretical, or is it actually modeled/reflected into something like route reputation or overall airline reputation?

Maybe I am wrong, but as far as I know you need a hub when you want to rent many gates at one airport:

 

 

From the FAQ:

Open worlds (O1, O2, ...) [...] You can lease up to 40% of the gates at any one airport (75% if it's a hub); [...]

Realistic worlds (R1, R2, ...) [...] You can lease up to 5 gates at any one airport (15 if it's a hub); [...]

 

And also from the FAQ:

 

What are the benefits of a hub?
Hubs provide you with connecting passengers (see above) on routes departing/arriving at that hub. However, a hub also doubles your gate rental fees at that airport (due to extra staffing costs).

 

So IMHO a hub only makes sense when you have reached the gate limit at an airport since I do not think that the connecting passengers compensate for the doubled gate rental fee (especially since connecting passengers make only half as much money as regualr passengers and are only effective if your loadfactor is not already 100%).

 

Greetings,

Karoue

Hub can generate passengers from connecting flight. As example, I have a hub in Jakarta CGK which connecting cities in Indonesia. If I have an international flight, let's say CGK-AMS, I will generate connecting passengers to my local routes.
