I'm baffled with a major problem, though, I have no problems with my competitor it's just strange that I offer way better IFS, legroom, and all that stuff but I can't really increase my airline's market share on routes we are competing for.

 

I reckon I'm losing millions per day as this is not an isolated route but to about 20 routes I'm operating. Anyone can enlighten me on this one?

try lowering your price, usually i lower it by at least $20 then round it down to the nearest 5 because it makes me feel better when i see a number ending in 5 or a 0. also check back every day to see if they lowered their price as well

I had to lower my price by $200 to gain like 13% in a route we are operating in lmao. I don't know if this is a functionality issue because I have no problems beating the c*** out of other airlines.

it could be your reputation, if your competitor has a higher reputation then it's harder for you to gain market share

The guy has like 70% reputation, I've got 100. Plus, in our routes I literally have the better reputation but yeah, I don't know what to do anymore I've tried switching for smaller airliners (added frequency with no compromises in legroom) but nothing seems to work.

The market share calculation does seem to throw up odd results sometimes.

 

Whilst it is tempting to chase share I try not to go too far, maximising revenue is more important maximising passengers.
