Title: Cancun - MMUN/CUN Charms
Post by: postl on July 12, 2018, 02:30:36 pm
Maybe a selfish request but I have a hub well positioned to serve Cancun, but the route doesn't show much demand. I know this is a very busy destination and would love to see it reflected that way in the game.

It is marked as a vacation hub but I think could also qualify as an international hub, as Wikipedia lists it as the busiest international airport in Mexico.

Thanks! I will probably increase the value of vacation hub. There some already be some pretty decent demand from the US mainland to Cancun. Is the `direct demand` value too low or are you observing low riderships of route ? :)

That's a good point, I haven't started the route because of the direct demand level, but to your point I may be able to compete with existing service anyway.

Yes! Try to improve your network to increase connection flight numbers at Cancun.

For example Beijing <=> Vancouver has demand 435, but im running route with capactiy of 16500 passengers per week and it's still hitting 100% LF all the time. As most of the passengers are transit passengers. So in order to increase the demand of your flight route, try to connection cancan with south american cities! That market is largely untapped for now (especially from US east coast to south america)
