Although airline data is an essential topic, it is pretty straight forward. In AM, you have to consider the following data when choosing an airplane:
Contents
Aircraft name
This is the type of aircraft you use. It doesn't factor much into the business aspect but some players do prefer a certain manufacturer or a certain type of plane, regardless of their performance in-game.
Seats
The more seats a plane has, the more ticket you could sell. The more seats you have available for sell, the less you could sell them for (ticket price). Does more seats translates into mroe profit? Most of the cases, it does. However, there are always exceptions. Another problem is that larger planes typically cost more, have longer turn time, and higher fuel costs.
Cargo
- This data is currently not taken into account in AM*
Speed
A quicker plane could fly more flights but at the same time tends to use more fuel. More flights give you more revenue and should be more than enough to offset the increased fuel costs.
Range
This is a very important issue to consider when you buy a plane. The range of it limits the routes it could be used on. Currently, there is no fuel stops available in Am and thus planes are limited by their ranges. Afterall, you can't fly a route with 3001 nm with a plane that could only fly 3000 nm.
Withdrawn
This is the year that the type of aircraft is withdrawn from production. The manufacturer stops taking order on 1 Jan of the withdrawing year. If you would like that plane, please order in advance.
Crew
The pilots needed to fly the plane. Currently, you only have to pay for the pilots. The cabin crew is not taken into account yet.
