Hello, I come to you because I created a company yesterday on the beginner server. I'm doing some tests after following the tutorial, even if I'm still discovering some stupid things.
Except that here it is... After 18 routes and 5 planes, I still have a deficit of 2 millions per month... Which is slowly leading me to bankruptcy.
My 18 routes make a profit. My gates, even if they cost a lot, are profitable. My 5 planes are in the same case. Two ATR-72-500s make $130K and $75K per day, my RJ85 makes $118K, the A320-200 makes $288K and my 737-600 makes $261K. The last three are leased. I have removed the marketing and the staff reserve.
Operating revenues: $28,022,745
Non-operating revenues: $0
Operating expenses : - $29 554 379
Non-operating expenses : -$610,615
Net income/loss : -$2,097,264
My only idea would be fuel and personnel costs. That's why I'm thinking of not renewing my A320 lease and replacing it with a new 737. The RJ85, the starter aircraft, is still with me for two years.
If more experienced people can spot my mistakes, I'd be happy to hear from them.
