I think from tomorrow, I will be buying 1 800 per day and whatever else I can afford after that, a 200 probably.

Thats some daily turnover you got there!

KamiKazi · 26-11-2009 4:41pm

Going to be replacing my fleet of B707s with B757s tonight so I figured I'd give boardsies a chance to make some cash

All my aircraft will be on the ground and sold by 8pm this evening, so I'll wait two hours before buying any new planes which will have my stock price very low.

So basically buy as many shares as you can in z0mg! Airlines between 8 & 10pm tonight, then I'll be buying my new aircraft and stock prices should sky rocket

Tabnabs · 26-11-2009 4:50pm

RangeAir Airlines are doing very well, but only have a limited amount of stock holders

We went through the $1 a share mark this morning and now it's up to 1.09. And it's only going in one direction!!

Whats your percentage of empty seats around about?

I've wondered, with people who fly only from one hub/main airport, how many passengers they are getting and also if they are getting the max range from their planes.

wayne2107 · 26-11-2009 8:10pm

Im using billboard advertising on all my routes since launch. Im getting about 95% of all aircraft full. Im using the A330 for trans atlantic with the a318/319/320/321 for european flights, and a handfull outside europe. The bae146 are used for smaller airports like Cardiff/Manchester etc. Our a340 has just launched our newest service from Dublin, to Capetown.

Our A318 elite and our a319/100 cj are used at our Buisness only hub at Frankfurt, they fly all around the world.

To be honest no. Our longhaul jets are but our a320 and a319,s are been used on high demand short haul routes, ie intra euroupe.

By the time I pay for fuel and advertising I have about 12 million to spend a day. At the moment im just adding more a318 and a319 aircraft. The plane is to hopefully build up and buy about 3 a330 aircraft a week then eventully a 747 or a380. I will continue to build up our shorthaul network though.

Its not as easy to build up the cash but this is the whole point of the game i suppose.

You need to get your planes flying at close to their range limitations.
Thats how you maximize profits per planes.
I know you can possibly do two shorter haul flights for one longer range one and a lot of it is how often you log into FB but personally, I've always pushed the planes to their limit as I dont log into FB that often.

I found that works for me but it generally means you cant rely on one hub to fly from as it can be difficult to get high demand and max distance from the same place all the time.

wayne2107 · 26-11-2009 10:00pm

Where are your hubs Kippy, what kind of fleet do you have. How much profit are making a day? (Im a nosy fecker) Have you any experience operating the Airbus A330? The hardest part of the game so far for me is trying to keep the fuel tanks above a certain point, at the moment Ive 2.5 million.

Technicilly my only hub is in Melbourne (but that was only to get the achievment.
Realisticilly I have no hubs. I use this site to figure out the max distance/most demand routes.
http://am.n00b.hk/

I currently have 125 340 200's, 13 340 600's, 3 380 800's and one business jet (again for the achievement and bought when that bug was in the game)
Never went near the 330.
Currenly making circa 240mill profit daily. Running into my second round of c checks now so slowing me down slightly, not much though.
Currenly have 125 mill of fuel, had 300 mill, will spend a days profits on fuel later in the week.
The first 4-5 weeks was slow slow slow but the last 3-4 have seen massive growth on a daily basis.
I had a lot of ATRs starting, Moved onto the 737 500's then the 757 300 (had about 40 of them at one stage).
You will find profits increase as you get your larger craft. But you need to maximise profit from each plane when its in the sky.

Could not agree with you more. At one stage i had a fleet of nearly 150 mostly ATR,s though. I sold everything and started from scratch. You are doing very well hopefully ill be up there in a week ar two. I will do what you said and get the max range from all new planes from here on in.

robinph · 26-11-2009 11:25pm

Just got rid of the last of my ATR's and replaced them all with BAe146's now, still have a few props doing the rounds, DHC-8-Q300's, but I cannot be bothered to swap them out for now. Was annoyed that I got a $90,000 repair bill for the last flight of my last ATR and couldn't sell it until I'd repaired it so made a loss on that, no point in keeping it parked anywhere though as I'd just keep getting tickets or it would get clamped or something.

I did also manage to invest in another two MD80's today as well, and possibly another as well before the day is done. Think I'm just going to keep getting a few more of them for the moment so that I can start to get some bigger money coming in. Spideog Airlines is now trading at $0.41 from a mere $0.30 yesterday, still shares to be had whilst they are going cheap. Any early investors from a couple of days ago should have trebled their money by the close tomorrow the way things are going so get in whilst there are still big quick gains to be had.

I love the MD-80. 130 pax with a 6000km range for $2.1m, I have seven of them now and average $250k per flight.

Cant fault them, Griffair had 10 at one stage. Sold them against our new A330,s now earnig close to $1 million per flight.

Folks, I've still about 800,000 stocks to sell before I'm sold out, who wants to help me out here.
My stock broke the $1.00 barrier the day before yesterday I think, and it's now at $1.61. It's only going one way and thats up. Buying at least 2 aircraft a day, be it either the 737-700ER, DC 10-10, 757-300 or the 767-200.

Going to stick with buying these for the next few days, then onto the bigger birds.

cheers Crosáidí. think the best way is having good old cash reserves (plenty of

) and keep building the fleet to bigger capacity / longer distance aircraft.

Just bought a B707 thats flying to Johansburg and by this afternoon I should have enough to buy 2 more Iilyushin - IL62MKs which are also going out Africa way as its their max ranges and should bring me in about €800,000 each per flight on average

all backup with billboard advertising all the time.

I am online all the time, due to my profession.

I've invested on;

200000 wwt.worldwidetravel. Airlines $ 1.65 / 1.02 $ 330,586

16499 The Turkish Airlines $ 8.22 / 2.18 $ 135,637

we'll see what happens

If you like, you can invest in mine, but don't have to

Irems Airlines

Doesn't really seem to do anything. It is an indication that you are serious about the game and allows you to promote your airline within the game. If you are getting share holders from this thread I say don't bother. Save them for a biz jet or salary resets after you get the salary achievements.
They need to change the way that points are awarded. I've been playing a month and have 900 pax points. Yesterday I launched 121 flights, happy staff, 100% rep, all with the most expensive catering. Got nothing!!!!!!!

robinph · 27-11-2009 3:45pm

I got two lots of 5 PAX points yesterday. Wasn't paying attention to when I started the flights though so unsure exactly what planes it was on when I got given them, it does seem that more meals get sold if I start my flights individually rather than in a whole bunch for some reason.

hick · 27-11-2009 3:58pm

just got my B787-8
was funny spending $19.5 mill for the first time considering my last splurge was yesterday on a B757 for $7.5 the fact it brings in $1.7m per flight makes it easier.

So in the interim will go back to B757 and MD80's to keep things going as it will take about 2 days per 787 for the next while

On a good note for ye investors, we've gone from 0.86 to 1.28 in 24 hours which you can all be happy with!!! 28 routes

Decided to sell off my DC-9's as the advertising finishes on them.

Would you buy more MD-80s to add to my fleet of 7. $2.1M with a range of 6000km and 130 pax. Fuel burn is 14lbs per km.

OR

Boeing 737-700 at $4.1m, 6230km range with 149pax and a fuel burn of 9lbs per km.

Then dispose of the MD-80s and add 737's?

Yeah,
It will go slightly over the max.
If you try you can also find that you can actually purchase slightly over the maximum allowed as well.

hick · 27-11-2009 4:29pm

here's a list I've put together that might help you decide

it depends what your cash flow is like the MD 80 has a great overall cost but the profit on the 737-700 will be better good half wasy house is the 737-700C as it's a million cheaper.

you can almost get two MD80 for the cost of one 737-700. Running costs are slightly higher, but if you run the MD80 at max distance and with 130 Pax each flight should yield about 330k. About 7-8 flights (with 3 flights per day possible) yields a new ac of the same type (compared to about 15 flights required with the 737-700).

If you didn't max out the 400 flights limit yet, the MD80 will definately make you more cash over the next two weeks (and then it's time to upgrade to something bigger anyway...)

I started about 3 weeks ago (shortly after the OP) with 4 ATRs, then switched to 8 Be146, then build up to 360 MD-80 (the first 20 were the hardest).
Now I am slowly changing my MD-80 (just before they reach their first C-check) to B878-8 and also got my first A380 today (second one following later today)

I would go for the B737-700s as soon as you can afford them. The fuel burn and more seats should counteract the increases initial cost. Don't go selling off your MDs yet though. I have yet to sell an aircraft. Am happy with my mix of Airbus/Boeing/Embraer. On many routes I have 2 different a/c operating together.

In terms of expansion perhaps better to use the MDs to fund new B737s/routes than just replace exisintg a/c. Slowly duplicate all your MD routes with a B737-700. Then you can think about selling the MDs and having 2 B737 on each route.

And you could find that the B737 doesn't make sense to replace an MD on a route that is mid-range for B737 but max range for the MD-80. Maybe add a B737 to each max range MD-80 route, then replace the MD with a B757-300. It has a lot more seats and the range is similar to the -700. (6421 vs 6230)

You can invest if you would like (although at over $30 per share it's a bit more expensive and won't increase as fast as the 30 cent shares of the 'starters' although the next A380 is close and will bump it up a bit

I've been running out of fuel all afternoon now, didn't quite allow for how thirsty those new MD80's I've bought in the last couple of days are. Will have to stockpile much more supplies now once the price comes back down to the $400 levels rather than buying any more birds for a while.

You can invest if you would like (although at over $30 per share it's a bit more expensive and won't increase as fast as the 30 cent shares of the 'starters' although the next A380 is close and will bump it up a bit )

Thats an impressive route map!!
