Who's Victorian Airways?

smart move: http://aetest.simulationcloud.net/ro...=LED&city2=PIT - thanks for the feed, LED: really good hub candidate

another tip: once you open a hub in LED add one or two more 743 weekly flights (more seats than demand) - it'll fill up with connecting traffic from me and your own hub.

Woo got my first 747 delivered! Those long haul routes are real money makers.

Any suggestions for a place to set up as a hub in North America?

muah.

1x weekly:

MEL-LAS
MEL-SEA
MEL-YVR
MEL-PDX

=

$900,000 daily profit.





(another tip: if you start a route with no-one on it, and "underserve" it (like 1 or 2x weekly services) pretty much double your ticket prices and you'll make the same amount of money as flying 4-5x weekly services )

Anyone planning on starting a hub in Brisvegas?

cos the 744 with the engines in the above screenshot will reach places like:

BNE-DFW
BNE-IAH
BNE-YYC
BNE-YEG
BNE-SLC

lots of cash money.

Probably a stupid question, but:

I lost 1 unused gate at my only hub (Hanover), as I was only using 4. So I bought another gate at Hanover, but I can't see an option to set Hanover as my hub again. Anyone know how to do so?

If you lose gates at a hub (to below 5) you dont lose hub status - it's still a hub.

I'm flying out of Long Beach now to VGT, North Las Vegas. So far I'm the sole airline flying out of VGT but other Ozscrapers Alliance carriers are welcome to begin flights to give me connecting traffic.

Also this will be my new logo for flights going out of there

Lease a few 734 or 320 and create your hub and I'll start / increase OAK/ORD/PIT/BTR into LGB.
