If you're asking how to get them, you need one of the airports to be a hub. To open up a hub it's near the bottom of the menu along with terminals. (Though terminals aren't needed.)

Maybe the airline got targeted by a spam liner and was leasing all aircraft so got aircraft seized

Well considering they were doing this:

http://www.airline-e...-not-available/

 

I think they were the spam liner.

 

Not to mention they are still flying so they still have tons of aircraft plus orders. Though their aircraft are slowing getting seized.

An airline in my world went from 2nd all the way to last within the day. (I thought they declared bankruptcy.) The valuation is well in the negative of millions. The strangest thing though they are ranked 300, despite the world not having that many airlines. Maybe related?

Edit: Gosh, 9 gates with 0% usage, savage!

Pretty much, great way to spend money eh? I though you could only own so many gates even at smaller airports but negative.

 

I think it's laughable personally, I just wait and I know at some point within the day I can get gates. Then I think it's sad that some person is so despite to win a virtual game with no real prize involved. Oh well, their time lost, not mine. lol

Alright, looks like they did it again. Sent a message to Yuxi to see if there is a rule about it. Guess we'll see if I get a response.

I could definitely see that. lol I don't really compete with them an any route but I can imagine the pain. Personally I think it should be against the rules to lease all gates in a country and not use them if you are doing it just to block people regardless of the fact they get returned. Could you imagine being a new airline and not having anywhere to fly?

So got back into the game and started an airline in S1: One Hub/Terminal Limit. Been adding routes, especially at small airports. This morning pretty much every small airport in the U.S. had at least a gate open, if not several. Flash forward tonight and no gates available at any small airport for the most part. (I'm talking like 1 out of 20 maybe 30) To boot when I try to go to the airports page it comes up with this message: No airport was selected. Is this a game issue or did somebody go through and lease a gate(s) at every airport? Leaning towards the first due to that error.

 

Here's an example of the error: http://ae31.airline-...fo.php?city=PKB

 

Edit: While it appears some airports do indeed get that error, apparently Merica mass bought gates at all airports for spam purposes. Went to their profile and not using lots of them. http://ae31.airline-...ae3s1&player=24Guess there isn't a rule to that so I guess I have to wait until gates get returned for not being used. (Or is there a rule?) Can anyone tell me when gates get returned for being unused, can't recall.

 

Edit Edit: Looks like I got my answer, returned at the top of the month.
