Give me the hard sell/plans for domination of the skies!
TBH if you want to dominate the skies by making most profit, you are better of investing in a new aircraft/route rather than investing in shares (and you will actually dominate the skies
)
(If you however have too much money, there are still shares available in Xandaer Airlines. It will cost you an arm and a leg though)0 -

I disagree. I think you are under-estimating the usefulness of the share trading aspect within Airline Manager.
Some of the airlines I have invested in have given me huge return.
For example, I bought El Coyote Airlines at 0.16, they are know trading at 129.22 which is an extremely good return on a very low risk investment. Plus, someone else is doing the work.
At the maximum share amount purchased (200,000), were those shares to go up just a bit more I could sell out and buy a B787-3 with the proceeds, and it would have effectively only cost me $32K to buy!0 -

Are you one of them bankers that got this country into trouble?
If you use the green jersey index, you can calculate the daily average increase in the shares of some of the players. This is between 12% and 16% per day for active players.
For El Coyote Airlines, the earliest entry I could find is 56 days ago at $15.88 and it's $129.22 now. (That translates to a less than 4% increase per day. Granted, the airline is probably inactive by now but also only showed a 15% increase per day over the 10 days data was entered).
On the other hand, if you invest the money in a Dassault Mercure (Ok, the initial cost at $813'093 is probably a bit higher than your share investment, but there are also cheaper planes available), after adding all the cost of fuel, tax and staff, you get a return on your first flight of 127'500, or almost 15%, and that is after 2 hours!
If you fly the plane twice a day, over 28% return; .... 5 times: 65% return and so on.
After nine flights (or a days hard work), the plane and all costs are paid off and nice profits from then on....0 -

I was not suggesting using the stock market to make money to the exclusion of the everyday activities of your airline.
However, to make an easy extra few dollars over the medium term, for no effort, I think it's a no brainer.
Plus, when you hit your maximum amount of routes, and have what you believe to be the optimum fleet, you will have plenty of spare cash to play with, so it's another way to keep the game somewhat interesting at that point.
I don't believe it's appropriate for new airlines to be investing much of their funds, only when you develop and have plenty of cash.
Yes, I did realise El Coyote have become stagnant of late - I was only using it as an example of buy price versus current price.0 -

Xandaer Airlines will fly for a last time tomorrow.
I reached my goal of 401 A380 routes (and the constant hitting of the reload button at the moment doesn't help with the game-play either)
Rank 760, shares now at $1,383.34, so any shareholders sell them now or tomorrow for the best profit (they shouldn't be decreasing afterwards but definitely won't further grow). It has been a fun challenge..... now for something else...0 -

I only came here to look at the pictures of a shiny planes but damn that game is addictive - and it works on the iPhone too. I can see many hours going down the toilet to this
Yeah, same as me and most of the others at the start of this thread.
You'll get so far and then there's nowhere else to go and give up
I've a huge fleet, i think it's just rusting away0 -
