Airline Executive

The Economy Update 1.4 The biggest update the game has had: the world now has a real travel market. • Every city pair holds a pool of business, leisure, and family travelers who exist whether you serve them or not, and who choose between every airline, route, and fare in front of them. • Cities, not airports: London to New York is one market whether you fly Heathrow or Gatwick, JFK or Newark. • Markets remember. Low fares grow a market beyond its baseline. Price too high for too long and it quietly shrinks. • Hubs truly sell connections: through fares, arrival waves feeding departure waves, and a Traveler view that shows any journey from the passenger's side, yours and your rivals'. • Two ways to play: Advanced is the full airline. Normal is the same airline with a lighter cockpit. Switch anytime, mid-save. • Money is honest in every era: fares, salaries, fuel, and maintenance all follow their times. A 1960s ticket costs 1960s money. • Every ordered aircraft has its own delivery date, and a big order stretches the production line. • Maintenance rebuilt on real B, C, and D checks, in real shops, taking real days. • Financial history tells the truth: weekly and monthly figures match what actually happened. • A new tutorial that teaches the market first, in whichever mode you play. • Shaped week by week by your feedback saves. Thank you, and keep them coming.
