== Creating Your First Airline ==

To create your own Airline, make sure you are logged in on the [http://www.airline-empires.com Forum]. Next, browse the navigation bar to find the  "My Airlines" link, or alternatively, click [http://www.airline-empires.com/index.php?app=ae here.]

Now, to create an Airline, scroll through the list of available game worlds, once you have chosen a game world to join, Enter the name of your airline in the "Airline Name" box.

Next, click the "Start New Airline" button. 

You have now created your Airline, before continuing to setup routes and make money, there are a few things you may want to consider:



* Are you going to run a low cost airline, or a premium airline ?

* Where will you base your airline?

* Which Aircraft Will you use? 

* Will you fly, short-haul, medium-haul, and long-haul routes?


Please note that these guidlines will help you build a better Airline, by considering these factors, you are more likely to run a successful Airline.


After you have chosen a name for your airline, you will be redirected to the in-game menu.

The in-game menu contains many links to settings which you can choose to adjust to improve your airline and make routes.

To start a successful Airline, follow these tips:

* Never operate a route at a loss, not even for pride.

* Never operate a route at a loss just to prevent competitors flooding the route. It's better to fly the route with a smaller plane, or less frequently, if you can't profit from that, then ditch the route and try a different destination.

* Only use the most economically efficient planes

* It is more efficient for a 747 to fly a route once than a 737 to fly the same route four times, for example.

* Don't use the same range aircraft from different families, for example, don't use both a 737-700 and an A320, as this will mean paying more in base cost as you are using two aircraft from different manufacturers.

* Running an airline with newer aircraft is more profitable; older aircraft incur more maintenance costs.
