Political Restrictions

[Unknown98]

MDE -> MAD -> MDE    that is OK

MDE -> MAD -> LHR     That will not work.


It is to replicate real life restrictions and to prevent 'spamlines' and exponential growth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedoms_of_the_air

for example you don't see british airways operating JFK - ORD. That's because they are not allowed to under the law.

But this happens in real life there was a route a few months ago:

ASS -> MAD -> BCN -> MAD -> ASS

I believe that is a 5th freedom, which will eventually be implemented, but not at this time.

I am currently doing some research on the openskies agreement, I've been told that US based airlines can fly inter-EU flights as long as the flight originated from within the US (so for example JFK-LHR-CDG). Also that EU based airlines can fly to the US (only the US) from anywhere within the EU, it does not have to be from the airline's home country. So those are 2 changes that may be coming soon.

@lolliftw how do the restrictions work in AUS/NZ? If it is something simple I can probably add them prior to the reset.
