I like to buy aircraft from the lessors and sell them to the market whenever I replace them, instead of terminating the lease. However, on the airline I'm running that I want to do that the most, I don't think I'll have enough cash to do that by the time they release the plane I want. I have another airline in the same gameworld that's got billions of dollars in its wallet.

 

What if there was a way, in a gameworld where you can run multiple airlines, to transfer cash from one of your better-off airlines to one that was struggling so that you wouldn't have to declare bankruptcy multiple times and restart with a new strategy?

You're not seeing the potential for rampant abuse and it hurts.

Maybe:

1. Declare parent-airline

2.Grow parent-airline to biggish size

3.Use the franchise feature (a new feature) to turn your individual airlines into an umbrella group where you can transfer aircraft and money across. This way, the airline will still only take up one slot in the world and subsidaries WILL be easier. Things like Quantum and Citysaver/Luxsaver currently do well, but can do even better using this feature. Maybe a minimum airline budget to cover the admin cost of founding a subsidary.) Surely this can't be abused.

Well, you gotta suffer if you want realism.

It is already far too easy to build up a large airline. If you could, after say ten years, open a second airline and split your cash pile you would be able to purchase twice as many aircraft and grow even faster. Crackpot idea.

Not if your airline is based in North Korea, or anywhere where the demand worldwide is really low.

Well. The umbrella group would be subject to single airline delivery limits. So if you order 10 CN-235-100, you can't get them in 6 weeks instead of 12.

Level of abuse with such transfers would be simply ridiculous. Any transfer between airlines here would find a way to help "cheating", that's why even the used plane market has a randomized time delay from selling to appearing on the market, so if even exchanging money for value with a provision was abused, what would be happening with direct money transfer??

 

Please, forget this proposal, just be patient and earn some money with your new airline if you want to have two little airlines.

 

 

We'll see what will AE4 bring with stocks etc., but this simple transfer would just be a tool for terribly efficient spamming.
