Hello everyone,

I have a questions which i didnt find answered already on the forum.

When the daily demand in a city is like in total 70 passengers, and you have a plane for like 140 passengers, when you fly once every two days. Is your plane then full, or still just with the daily demand of 70 passengers?

Thanks!

Léon

Right now you can operate 3x the demand (in this case, 210 seats per day) and still get 100% loads (with severely cut ticket prices), I believe that this will be fixed in AE3.1 in January. :)

Depends on your ticket price and your level of connecting pax. If your ticket prices are reletively low, then you will attract other passengers on top of the original demand, that otherwise would not fly. If you have a hub at one of the cities, then you will also gain some connecting pax. which are visible in the blue bar.

Ok, but what i want to know is that is 70 people per day ask for a airplane and the airplane comes every 2 days, will the people wait a day for an airplane? So that you have twice the amount of passengers?

IN short, yes. Demand is taken daily, and the number of seats per week is taken across a week, and divided by seven. Say the demand is 60 passengers daily, and you operate a 210 seat aircraft twice every seven days ("2x weekly"). That gives you a total of 420 seats a week. Take that across the week, and you have the equivalent of 60 daily seats. If there's no competition and your prices are reasonable, you should have full aircraft. :)

Having more seats than demand will be unprofitable.

Well, profitability would depend on the ticket price and your costs. The breakeven point is generally well under 100% loadfactor.

There will be some elasticity, just not as much as there is now.
