#147437 Start up tips no aircraft leasing

Posted by **OLT@22.Hrvatska** on 17 July 2013 - 11:18 PM in S2-3 Archive

Find a route with little to none competition and make the most out of it. The key is patience and good timing with the used aircraft market. You can either save up for the big plane (737) or immediately buy up a small cheap plane (ATR, Bombardier etc.). Eventually you will be able to serve the routes that you want to.

#148228 When should I modernize

Posted by **OLT@22.Hrvatska** on 28 July 2013 - 09:18 AM in New Players and Questions

Don't worry about being "realistic". You can't be really successful if you use an aircraft 8 hours a day. If your all about reputation, then replace aircraft when they are 15-20 years old, but you can keep them longer. Just be aware that the older the aircraft, the higher the maintenance cost is. To succeed, you need to find good routes with little to none competition and eventually make your way up the the big cities.

All you need is to keep the price lower than your competitor(s). It's hard and pointless to to get 100% market share because you'd just be losing profit. I always prefer to have at least 50%-60% on a route with one competitor.

I know that employee wages are tied to OTP, but I don't usually pay attention to route reputation..

Looking at your airline, you have a lot of aircraft from different families, which causes the maintenance cost to go up. Try to stick with only a few families until you need to quickly expand and/or you're ready to commit to a new family, for example: placing large orders(20+). As for expansion, always try to have a steady flow of aircraft coming in, either brand new or used. I prefer to buy/lease used aircraft younger than 10 years and know with what aircraft I'm going to replace it with when the time comes. Just make sure you don't have too much aircraft sitting idle.

#148853 Used Aircraft Market

It's probably everyone getting rid of their idle aircraft that they ordered but decided that its not worth setting up new routes with because of the little time left.

I actually managed an airline that's in the top 10 in that world, it's not that hard. All you need is a few tricks and routes that get high profit..

Route spamming is just part of the game.

#148929 787 VS A350

Posted by **OLT@22.Hrvatska** on 07 August 2013 - 02:51 PM in Real World Aviation

Well the A350 is definitely more efficient and faster than the 787, but the maintenance cost are considerably higher then the 787. I still order both to get by the delivery restrictions, especially when expanding quickly.

#148955 777 VS A340

Posted by **OLT@22.Hrvatska** on 07 August 2013 - 10:58 PM in Real World Aviation

Let me guess, you're going to ask 737 VS A320 next. But I prefer the A340
