'''Big+Big=BIG!'''. Fly between bigger airports. Starting in areas in the EU also gives you a boost, especially in realistic sims. You can fly between big cities and the routes have lots of demand! The more demand= the more loaded the plane. The more loaded the plane=more people paying. More people paying=more money for you. More money for you= BIG BUCKS! | '''Big+Big=BIG!'''.

If you're just starting out, your airline will be pretty small. Don't try competing with people bigger than you. HOWEVER, don't let airlines grow from your hub/HQ. If you notice another airline operating from your focus city, its likely they'll grow from that. Better eliminate them before they get too big and dominate your area <_< |

If you're not making profit because of competition, offer better (lower) prices than your competitors! If your planes are 100% loaded and you have no profit, fine tune your prices! Raise them. Start by raising your prices by $100/$200 each time until you make profit. Keep raising your prices until your plane(s) are no longer full (<90%. Then lower the prices by about $50 until your plane(s) are loaded again (>90%). Then, raise your price again a dollar at a time till you hit the maximum profit potential! |

We suggest you lease from the used market until you have about ($15 mill)-($20 Mill)Then lease from new aircraft until about ($25 mill)-($30 mill). Then start buying Used aircraft until finally, funds allow buying new aircraft (without going bankrupt) at about ($150 mill)-($200 mill). |
