I calculated that I needed about $8000 in 4 days for my start-up to accept delivery of a purchased plane, else I would be negative. As a newbie, I understand the plane will not be delivered if I go cash negative.
So ... investigated the cost of gates, and wound up leasing one. Now I need about $208000 ikn 4 days for my start up to accept delivery.
It looks like the game is rather brutal in discovering costs. Trying to find out a cost one way means you inadvertently purchase.
Oh well ... live and learn.
1) Go to the list of all the airports in your country
2) Choose one where a gate costs no more that $10k a month
3) Choose that airport as a reference airport and search for another airport in a range of 1000 miles where gate would also cost around $10k a month
4) LEASE a small plane (less than 100 seats) from the "used market" that has as low fuel flow as you can find
5) Make that plane fly scheduling enought flights that you can get the demand covered but not exceeded
6) If after that the plane has available time to keep flying, find another small airport and make it fly
7) Keep doing after the plane has no more available hours to fly and is fully used
8) LEASE a second plane and so on...
