These are the ones I think should be added

 

I'd love for cargo planes to be added.

I would like to see more Airport options added. One game I played had options to increase and decrease the amount of check in desks and the amount of customer service desks. The busier the airport was with your passengers, the more check in desks and customer service desks were needed. I would love to see this in AE as it was so cool. More desks = higher cost but more desks = lower waiting times = happier customers...

 

Also, options to add stuff to the terminals and hubs. Like a hotel near the airport. We dont need to go into all the small details but an option to add a hotel nearby with options for people flying with us to get a discount. Also maybe an option to fund buses or trains from the local town centre to our terminal. Maybe a viewing area addon too so in certain places we can buy a viewing area, charge how much we want and like everything else, it adds to our profit.

 

Option to add Fast Check In at some airports and those sort of things. If we have them = less queues = happier customers but we need more staff and it costs a lot to have.

 

I would like to see an Affiliate programme too. Where companies selling airline tickets like travel agents ect come to us and say they want x amount of commission if they sell our tickets. 

 

Terminals, gates and hiring are not INSTANT!!! When we built a terminal, we should have to wait a year in game time for it to be built  Gates should take about a week or so become ours and Hiring should be controlled by us. We should be told a minimum amount of staff needed for each route and on the Human Resource page it should say we have x amount of people in that sector, we need x amount overall then we input how many people we want to hire. The more staff we have, higher morale, happier customers but higher costs. We should be able to pick when we want the people by. The longer the timescale the lower the cost. We should then be asked where we want the jobs posting. All the options for advertising and same sort of thing. More places, more efficient, higher cost. 

 

We should be able to fund buses from one airport to another which then classes as connecting passengers. Like London Luton to London Gatwick. Get a bus. We choose how often it runs ect. These people then class as connecting as to be fair, they are just via a bus. A plane costs a lot just for that small distance so we fund buses. The higher the frequency of the bus, the more connecting passengers.

 

A review site. Of course it would use fake passenger names and stuff but it would say stuff like 'No IFE on route a to b. Very poor' or 'I wish there were more planes from a to b'. Stuff like that. It helps us to see what our passengers want and we can see where we need to improve. IFE would be great on all routes but it can cost a lot so if we see where passengers want it, that would be better.

 

Demand on the Market Reserch page. This should tell us the demand for IFE/IFS and give specifics like people want Audio on Demand: 150. then we can look and see 150 people want it. We take 190 people on that route. We shall get IFE/IFS

 

Option to disable IFE on certain routes. If we put IFE on a plane but it makes no money on one certain route, we should be able to disable it just on that route. We could just mess with the planes to the IFE is away from the affected route but I am sure people will agree that it can be quite hard to do that.

 

Thanks for reading. Please can we try to put some of these into AE4 as this will just make it EPICCCCCC

I think this has been suggested and accepted.

I like this too, but I don't think we are going to have travel agencies because many of them are not affiliated with the airline, and that's not how our ticket system works.

All suggested before. I think the first one is going to be implemented. The second one has been discussed. The third one I think was rejected on the basis of coding.

I don't think this will happen. A lot of it has to do with the aircraft and route. If you're flying BWI-IAD, of course it's going to be unprofitable to run IFE. Either remove the route or change the config to get rid of the IFE.
