Zortan, Spyros, and Anzatax (me!) are excited to announce the launch of the Voyager Alliance!

The aim of the Voyager Alliance is to create a better flight and travel experience for all, through the establishment of friendly alliances between the major airlines of the world. By enabling member airlines to work together and set a standard of quality unique to the alliance, the Voyager Alliance strives to become the world's leading airline alliance.

But the Voyager Alliance is not just an alliance for the airlines, but also an alliance for the players in Airline Enterprise. The alliance has the goal of providing a community within the community of Airline Enterprise where members can get together and help each other out.

But in order for the alliance to began its voyage towards world-class prestige, we invite you to join us and become part of the alliance. Simply copy and paste the following form into a reply to this thread to submit an application. All are welcome to apply!

For the last week or so, everytime I try to purchase and aircraft or lease an aiftact of the used market, I receive Error524

Error 524 error indicates that Cloudflare made a successful TCP connection to the origin web server, but the origin did not reply with an HTTP response before the connection timed out. Typically, Cloudflare waits 100 seconds for an HTTP response

As the whole MAX family are officially grounded, and at least in Europe certification has been suspeneded, should airlines that have them (I being ne) not be allowed to fly same?

My airline has mostly 100% reputation flights and before the recent updates had about 88% overall reputation, but it has suddenly dropped all the way down to 44%. The flights and their loadfactors are not being affected as yet.

Does anyone else see this problem? Or did the reputation calculation change with the recent update?

Suddenly the load factor for most of the flights scheduled on 21-03-2019 has taken a hit. Later night departures has plummeted. Why is this happening?

Please let me know what URL do you prefer to use when accessing the game, forums, etc. Thanks!

For the poll, if it auto fills using www please select that option and vice versa.

Marketing has been somewhat implemented - https://airlineenterprise.com/airline/marketing

Marketing will affect your airline image, but I have not yet connected it to route awareness and loadfactors. I need to make sure it runs and calculates everything correctly before I do that. You will pay for marketing daily, at the same time your airline image updates. 

Different types of marketing do have different effectiveness. I won't give away exact numbers but in general, if your budget is low, stick with billboards and radio. If your budget is high, go with event sponsorship and social media. The return per dollar spent differs depending on the marketing you choose and how much you spend on each type. It is possible for a well-funded billboard campaign to be more effective than a poorly-funded event sponsorship campaign. 

From the game guide:

Quote:Marketing is essential to the success of your airline. Not having an active marketing campaign will severly limit the public awareness of your airline and negatively affect your airline image. Each marketing medium has it's own effectiveness and cost. You should choose the medium(s) that align with the size of your airline and your marketing budget. More effective marketing mediums require a higher investment to achieve the maximum results. Less effective marketing mediums could be more effective than their highly effective counterparts if your budget allows it - it's not a simple game of "higher effective mediums are always better". Your marketing ROI truly depends on your budget and what you are willing to spend.

Additionally, marketing campaigns must be purchased in "blocks" - i.e. each medium has a minimum spend amount, and "steps" that you must take if you wish to move up the chain in that medium. This is due to the nature of marketing - for example you cannot purchase 1.5 television commercials - you must purchase either 1, or 2. The same goes for every medium.

Hello CEOs

How to make profit in refional flights? My VA homebase is PLU in Brazil
Several flights do not make profit like in real life, we have multiple regional airlines here but in game every aircraft i tried cannot afford the flight costs

One of the remaining DC-3s that still haul cargo and passengers in Colombia has crashed. It was HK-2494, operated by LASER; crashed at Vereda La Bendicion after declaring an emergency.

We have no idea why this aircraft crashed. It likely had nothing to do with the fact that it was 70 years old.

Condolences to the families.
