regional airline biz model

09 May 2012 - 08:30 AM

all,

I started 2 different airlines operating with small (B1900c) aircrafts on a regional basis (250nm max), building a pretty fair amount of routes, however in both games i was not able to reach a break even ending up broke both times.

the second time i carefully picked up destination airport among the smallest possible, thus with small fees, but still not enough to break even. also i took care that gate/aircraft utilization was maximized so that all expenses were optimized.

i did not take a serious look at the reasons why this'd happen but it seemed to me that personnel's cost were killing me.

Has anyone experienced the same? I wonder if that should be somehow corrected?
