The best way is to go on a price war, but only if you can afford to and not till the extent you yourself also can't survive bec the prices are too low.

Transit passangers pay half of the ticket price which is already quite little and lowering the price only makes their operations unfeasable

Doesn't work. You may not understand what is meant by "blue pax spamliner." I can assure that my transfer pax pay more than your O&D pax.

Just operate the route. A Blue Pax spamliner is getting almost no direct traffic, thus is not serving this market. Meaning you can operate entirely normally. Infact, you are creating your own demand so if you slightly underserve you can charge a higher price that is still lower than the O&D passengers on the spamline :P

Where it is true, it doesnot actually work well all the time. Blue pax spamliners employ thousands of seats on the market, whereas an airline serving O&D passengers can maybe only get 600.

As someone is overeagerly advocating hub spam left and right, others may want to be aware that it doesn't work all the time.

I've found that when someone lowers the prices, I have to, for some reason, click save to put my blue pax on the route again. Is there a bug behind this which efficiently destroys blue pax spamliners?

Not really - it just so happens that sometimes some of your seats are filled with green pax and the rest are filled with blue pax.

 

Thus, when someone lowers their price and the system adjust seat fill among all the airlines on that route, your airline is affected by that.  Hitting save again "recovers" pax, except the seats that were filled by green passengers may now be filled by blue ones instead.

 

Hitting save is necessary because the system does not refill seats with blue pax automatically.

Oh, fair enough.
