Airline ID
This is the number the game uses to identify your airline. You need this number when, for example, ordering planes on the forum so other airlines can send the plane to the private used market. Also, when posting bug reports, you need to write down your airline ID. You can find your ID on the Admin Panel.
DOC (Formally DOP)
You DOC is an hourly profit, with all your route profit and Misc Profit(Food and Drink Sell) minus your Misc Expense, Staff Expense and Fuel Expense. Then your Monthly Profit is all your total profit in DOC, all your Misc Profit, and all your Leasing Profit(if you are leasing any plane out). Then that total is minused by your one more Daily Fuel Expense, Daily Staff Expense, and Daily Misc Expense(for that day, as it is minused on the month change day too). Then your Monthly profit is minused also by some Monthly Expense(only being payed on Month Change). Those Monthly Expense are Gate Fees(paying the rent on gates), Maintenance Fees(the fee to keep planes running and operating), and finally Lease Expense(the rent you pay for a plane your leasing in your fleet, if you have any). And once you do the math, you'll have your Month Profit.
Slots
A slot is the ability to fly 1 frequency. With every gate rented there are 10 slots made available. So a route can be created with up to 10 slots, or may be 2 routes with any mixture of frequencies that may be less than or equal to 10 in total. Eg: Airline X Created a route from Frankfurt to Paris that goes twice daily, this means 2 slots are used up (In both Paris and Frankfurt) and 8 are left for use. Then Airline X sets up a route from Frankfurt to Rome with 1 frequency, now there are 7 slots left in Frankfurt and 9 in Rome.
Gate
A gate at an airport allows an airline to start flights to the airport. Each gate gives 10 slots. At the end of each month the price of each gate is taken out of the airline's account as rent. See Rent Gates
ROI
Return On Investment (ROI). The amount of time it takes for you to earn back the money you paid in the first place. An aircraft bought for €1,000,000 making €100,000 DOP will have a ROI of 10 days.
Lease
A lease basically means renting an aircraft. The leasing cost is paid at the end of each month.
Loadfactor
A percentage showing the amount of passengers flying in an airplane. A loadfactor (or LF) of 100% means your aircraft is completely filled up on every flight, while a loadfactor of 0% means no passengers will fly on that flight.
OCP
OCP (One Click Purchase) allows you to purchase a gate without a confirm or quantity select page. The OCP button is located to the left of the regular Rent Gates button.
Frequency
The number of flights per day. To select a frequency you need slots which is automatically bought when you rent a gate.
Token
Tokens are used to join and create worlds and purchase premium features. You get 40 tokens on registration and get one token every 12 hours. Entering a world costs 30 tokens (however, if you are not in any worlds, and you have less than 30 tokens, you can join a public world for however many tokens you have).
