== What next? ==
To start a new airline - or access your existing airlines - go the to [http://www.airlineempires.org/index.php?app=ae My Airlines page].  Each playable world will be listed below with summary information on current number of airlines, progress in the game, etc.  Simply enter the name of your desired new airline in the provided textbox and click "Enter World".

Airline creation will take you step by step through establishing your airline, including selection of aeroplanes as shown above and location of your initial gate agreements.  Note that the textbox next to the airports dropdown acts as a filter and not a direct selection of your desired airport, so please ensure that an airport is selected in the dropdown before proceeding.

Congratulations!  You have launched your new airline.  Now proceed to investigate your first route by leasing a gate at another airport (see the [[Leasing gates]] section).

Having started your airline, your first act of CEO is to manage your costs.  Of note, by negotiating leases with aeroplane manufacturers and with airports, you have created on-going monthly liabilities, so spend your initial cash wisely.
