There will be scheduled maintenance on July 25 at 03:00 UTC. We will be performing core software and game components upgrades and updates. In addition, we will be performing some preparatory work for our new forums and single sign on system, coming soon! Both the game AND forums will be unavailable during this time. However, the issue tracker and chat will remain in service. 

Currently, there is a 3 hour window for this maintenance.  It is anticipated that it will not require the entire maintenance window. However, the daily maintenance is still scheduled for that day, and will occur at the usual 05:55 to 06:30 UTC. If the entire 3 hour windows is required for the scheduled maintenance, the game will also continue to be unavailable until 06:30 UTC. Forum access should be restored at the completion of the scheduled maintenance and will be up for the daily maintenance. 

You can always find the most up to date information on the chat. If you have any questions, or need help converting the time, let me know either by posting below, in the chat, a private message in game or on the forum.

There will be NO new features added to the game during this maintenance period. Only server systems are to be updated to accommodate new features being implemented soon. 

Subject says it all

Hi, I am a beginner at Airline Enterprise.
I had multiple airlines earlier but had deleted them because I wasn't satisfied with my outcome. 
Now, I have started a new airline, waiting for the used planes to come to my base. 
So here I am asking you guys to help me solve the following questions I have had a long time:

- How do I know what the route awareness is? In the route research, one of the little boxes were route awareness, but I don't know what the awareness is because I don't know how to!
- This awareness goes with the airline reputation/class. Like, where can I look so I know what my reputation is in each class? 

As far as I understand from reading others', basically your passenger load will increase if my airline reputation increases? 

Thank you

As many of you have pointed out the current maintenance formula for aircraft needs to be changed, as older aircraft have a much higher ROI than new aircraft and it makes gameplay fairly unbalanced.

I have been developing a new formula that uses exponential growth based on cycles and aircraft size. I'd like everyone's thoughts on how they think something like this might work and any adjustments that may need to be made. 

The goal is essentially to make maintenance costs for older aircraft roughly 3x what they are now. It depends on the aircraft, number of engines, etc but for the most part the new formula accomplishes this, around the 35-40k cycles range. Beyond that costs continue to increase exponentially. 

If you want to play with the numbers here is the link to spreadhseet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing (you need to download to edit)

Some screenshots of old vs new formula for various sized aircraft: https://imgur.com/a/XVZ8Rot

As you can see the formulas are very similar up until around 10k cycles and then the new formula starts to make things more expensive. The only concern I have is I don't want to completely eliminate the ability to use older aircraft. One thing I can do is adjust the used market generation script to reduce the cycle count for generated aircraft just a bit, I notice a lot of the older aircraft are upwards of 50k cycles which can make starting off with used aircraft no longer viable, and I don't want that to happen.

Some back-end improvements have been made to the route overview page (https://airlineenterprise.com/airline/route_overview) 

Larger airlines should notice faster load times

You can now view route awareness on this page

Well that got weird, time to start a new one

Hello again, I have a question regarding gate lease. Should I lease a gate that is equal to the number of planes I have, or should lease a gate that is equal  to the utilization?

I believe the runway requirements for the MAX are incorrect in-game.

The MAX 8 should be 8,300 feet rather than 8,200 

The MAX 9 should be 8,500 rather than 9,700
