International and domestic flights

Hope to see more airports in big and populated countries such as China, India, Brazil, etc. There should be a major different demand between International flights and Domestic ones. For example flight from Beijing - Shanghai should have far more passengers than Shanghai - Bangkok.

I totally agree. Even Melbourne to Sydney which is one of busiest routes in the world, the game has a very low percentage.

In addition the game has a low % for flights from Melbourne to Los Angeles which is also a high profit route in the real world.

Would there be any possibility this can be adjusted?

Also the amount of passengers shouldn't be decided by merely the population of two cities, stopovers should also be considered.

Its true for example: MIA-LHR can afford 2X daily British Airways 747 and a daily American 777 but in the game it can only afford a 1X daily 777. Also some routes are only based on population but not true O&D. MIA-EZE has enough capacity to fill 2X daily 777 in the game it can only afford it 3-4X weekly. There are alot of other examples too!

agreed the number of passengers are off !! i am not sure if the devs are checking this forum. we can do the research and come up with the numbers and help out the devs ??

Well if they are here are some numbers from 2009 (feel free to correct me as I don't think this data is the most accurate but it gives an idea). For the routes I said:

Miami-Buenos Aires: 261,350 Passengers Anually
5,025 weekly passengers

Miami-London: 416,343 Passengers Anually
8,006 Weekly Passengers

Also you guysmshould see this!

New York-London: 1,248,829 Passengers Anually
24,015 Weekly Passengers

So as you can see alot of the routes are pretty far off. Great game though!

When I first did a ny to London flight I knew the 3000 a week figure was far off but I didn't know it was that far off!

Bottomline is that it would be really great if the passenger count would reflect the actual industry experience.

Singapore - LA only has about 800 passengers / week but based on real life experience, it's definitely more!
