Airlines 2 is a strategy game focusing on finance, investment, design, and management of an airline company and its fleet.The player starts with 20 planes in the.

Airlines 2 - FAQ/guide AIRLINES 2: Start-Up Guide: Airlines 2 is probably one of the hardest 'Tycoon' games iv have ever played, but because of this it has become one of my most beloved ones. The game itself is very simply to get used to,but extremly difficult to master!

Many airlines I have set up,and many of them have failed before 1970 onwards! Your probly wondering why they keep on failing,not making money etc! Well I'm going to give you the help you need,the help that doesnt come in the manual! IN THE BEGINNING: Start of the game is very important,as in where do I start(Region)? Well thats up to you,but I highly recommend Eastern Europe(Short Routes) big bucks. *Points to note:No region starts with the same Low,Neutral or High Service Routes, they are complety random,so getting a good mix of Neutral and High Service Routes is key at the start. Get some routes going using some inexpensive Aircraft such as: ARW,cheap,good pax loads for price,and inexpensive maintainace to get you started,with your initial cash you shoud be able to set up 2,maybe 3 routes straight away without a loan.

Next thing get a loan to open a new route and get a new aircraft. *Points to note:Paying back loans I find is the best way to expand quickly,you pay them back quick and you can get a new one. Keep doing this until you get a very decent income from you routes,keep costs low and revenue high. *Points to note:6 Routes is generally a good number to start getting good income from. Cargo on your routes are very important,espicially high value cargo,ie,Electrics,Plastics,Medication and later on Valuables.

These items can drive a $20,000 p/m route up to $120,000 instantly. So try and match routes,as in, Neutral with Neutral, High with High, with routes which offer these high value cargo! *Points to note:Keep checking your aircrafts 'Trade Profit' from these items as it might slip into minus figures and lower overall profit. By now you should have a very stable source of income from your routes,but dont get lazy.

This can very easily slip!All the time you move your a/c maintainance costs are rising etc. So keep expanding on profitible routes and cargo,start building your Rep up in your chosen region to start with. *Points to note:Your Rep will increase automatically if your providing a good service based on demands. When you have a stable source of income you want to start building offices to increase your Rep in the chosen airport.

Offices increase your Rep quicker in airports and overall throughout the region. So you want to build these on your routes or even places you dont have routes if you have the money to do so. When your Rep and amount of offices in a region have reached an appropriate level you can build a HQ building.

HQ Building once again increases your Rep in your region,and the ultimate goal is to get access to another region. MOVING ONWARDS: So you have got a succusessful airline going,its making money,lets expand! You want to start new routes in new regions.

Your going to need to research airports in other regions to gain info on there size,service type and cargo. *Points to note:I highly recommend saving your game before you research an airport.If you spend $1. Fonts For Autocad 2010. 2million on a airport thats not worth your time,why spend it? Just reload the game and research another airport,its not really cheating,but 'Cost management':) So once you have got yourself a new airport in a new region,open a new route!Using tryed and tested means. The region will then be open to you,so you can set up new routes internally. *Points to note:'Cross Region' routes costs alot more then internal ones and only get more expensive as the game goes on,like connecting Newark(USA) to Abu Dhabi can cost about $150-200 million! But dont worry about that for the moment,but do worry about opening to many 'Cross Region' routes as they cost a fortune to maintain,so only open them if there going to be well worth it! So you've got yourself plenty of routes in two regions now.Just keep expanding is the name of the game,preferably quicker then the computer player!
