Building Your Fleet

Start your airline empire by acquiring aircraft. You have multiple financing options:

Cash Purchase

Buy aircraft outright for immediate ownership

  • No monthly payments
  • Full ownership benefits
  • Higher upfront cost

Lease Agreement

Lease aircraft with lower initial investment

  • Lower upfront cost
  • Monthly lease payments
  • Flexible fleet management

Strategy: Start with leasing to preserve cash, then buy aircraft as profits grow!

Route Planning & Economics

Master your airline's finances with the comprehensive Economics tab. Click "Economics" to view:

Financial Overview

  • Monthly revenue & operating costs
  • Net profit & ROI tracking
  • Visual cost breakdown charts
  • Route-by-route profitability

In‑Game Costs:
  • Currency uses K units (e.g., $50K = $50,000).
  • Leasing has a low monthly ($2K+), while purchase costs are much higher.
  • Time Speed fees: 10x costs $10 (one-time); 100x costs $1,000/hour (immediate + hourly while active; applies globally).

Goal: Start with leasing to build cashflow, then buy aircraft once profits accumulate.

🛒 Aircraft Trading & Fleet Management

Master aircraft lifecycle and fleet optimization in your airline tycoon empire:

Aircraft Selling

Sell aircraft in the Fleet tab when parked (not on routes). Use this to upgrade fleet or free up capital.

Fleet Value Tracking

Monitor aircraft depreciation (4% annually). Newer aircraft retain value better but cost more upfront.

Buy vs Lease Strategy

Buying: Higher upfront cost, own asset, no monthly payments
Leasing: Lower upfront, monthly payments, preserve cash flow

Strategy: Start leasing, then buy profitable aircraft as cash grows!

🌍 Global Route Network (66 Airports)

Build your worldwide airline empire with routes connecting major cities across all continents:

Route Selection

Choose from 168 available routes connecting 66 major airports worldwide. Routes tab shows all options.

Route Visualization

Click "Routes" toggle button to see curved flight paths. Aircraft follow realistic 2D curved routes.

Distance & Pricing

Longer routes = higher fares but more fuel costs. Optimize frequency vs distance for maximum profit.

Strategy: Mix short-haul (high frequency) with long-haul (high margin) routes!

✈️ Passenger Load Factor & Revenue

Understand how passenger demand affects your airline's profitability:

Random Load Factors

Each flight has random passenger load (50-95%). Higher load = more revenue per flight.

Revenue Calculation

Revenue = Passengers × Ticket Price. Monitor Economics tab for detailed flight revenue analysis.

Flight Frequency

More flights per week = more revenue opportunities, but also higher operational costs.

Strategy: Higher frequency on profitable routes maximizes load factor utilization!
