Hi Everyone!!!!! ♥
Usually i'm not one to start up a post for anything really but one thing that just absolutely bothers me is the current system of passengers per airport.
A prime example would be London. We have Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, City, and Southend Airports. Now realistically if each of these airports have direct flights say 3x a day to Boston well then we would be looking at 18 flights a day to Boston. Of course different airlines operating them but regardless, a whopping 18 flights a day.
Now I think it's fair to say that in any reality or universe, that is oversaturated and completed unrealistic.
My solution to the problem? Simple. Instead of giving each airport demand for a destination, put that demand into a giant pot so to speak.
Example:
London (total demand all airports)
Not only does this give us more flexibility in terms of where we want to fly from because some of us don't want to fly from Heathrow but sometimes HAVE to because the demand there is significantly higher. This would also help spread out some of the demand you have at these mega airports because then every player would have the option of saying "I want to fly to Amsterdam i'll use London City as my airport."
This puts a realistic in depth analysis of using demand to calculate the amount of flights a city should have to another city and would finally break the current thought process of having 10 players at Heathrow, 3 at Gatwick, and no one really interested in Southend. Of course this idea would be transferred to any city with multiple airports.
Just my two sense and obviously if there are like any unclarifities, just ask and i'd be more than happy to reply ♥♥♥
