In AirwaySim, another airline game there is an option which allows you to choose 2 options for starting your airline.
Easy Start: You pick the continent and if the airline will fly short or medium flights then it show you some airports for your home base with 2 to 3 aircraft.
3 smaller aircraft (after the first day on the game has passed) and 2 smaller aircraft (on the first day of the game) 2 medium aircraft or 1 medium aircraft (on the games that start in the 1950s such as The age of flight and History and the future) Then after selecting the home base of the airline you choose the airline name and the airline codes. Then after that the airline will create routes hire staff add the checks.
In airline empires you have to create the airline by scratch and choose your home airport.
New players would need a easier start than creating it from scratch.
