Focus City

Note: The term "focus city" is interchangeable with "hub" or "bases".

Focus cities are the cities you can create routes out of. All worlds will have designated numbers of allowed domestic and foreign focus cities. A domestic focus city is any airport within the continent of your first focus city. For example, if your initial focus city is London-Heathrow, you a free to open another domestic focus city anywhere in Europe.

Some worlds may allow for foreign focus cities. That simply means any airport outside your initial continent. Please remember: every foreign focus city you open counts as two domestic focus cities.
