Step 4: Generating profit

An in-game week has passed, and our first passengers have travelled to Japan! You can see this by clicking "Routes" on the left, and selecting the first route. The graph on the right is all green, which means that all the economy class tickets have been sold. The route has yielded a revenue of $2,394! However, it is not generating a profit. Running an airline comes with all kinds of costs, which you can see on the right. You'll have to either wait until things change (for example, your company can become more well-known over time) or try to change something about the route. Let's do the latter by clicking on "Edit".

If all tickets were sold but the route does not generate profit, you could try to increase the ticket price. That's what we'll do here by clicking the green "+" icon. You can also increase the flight frequency, by letting even just one airplane fly multiple times per week on that route. But usually the airport does not know your airline well enough in the beginning to allow this. Over time they will allocate more slots to you, especially airports with less competition.

You can also change the number of airplanes on this route without changing the frequency. This does not seem to increase the route's capacity however, so it's best to only increase the number of airplanes when you want to increase the frequency but you get a warning like 'Limited by the number of airplanes'.

37-1
