A question about the net value of aircraft

Please,ask a question, when I give a total of 400 million (net worth)aircraft to the subsidiary, and then close the subsidiary, why is the recovered capital only more than 100 million

From the AS wiki:

If an enterprise is liquidated due to inability to pay at the time of week-end closing or if the enterprise is given up in the meantime, it’ll be liquidated as follows:

  • Aircrafts are returned to the lessor (security deposit is refunded minus leasing costs) or marketed (15% of its book-value).
  • Employees are layed-off (salaries plus compensation are payed)
  • Loans payed off (interests are calculate pro rata)
  • buildings will be demolished (cost a fee)

The amount being left over are liquidation is payed out to the superordinate enterprise, the liquidation is finished.

Wrong forum - can a moderator move it to another place please?

Done.

As for he original question:
The game mechanics for that were last changed early last year with the aircraft market overhaul.
If you would place the aircraft for sale on the market, you’d get at least 50% of the base value (as AS will place a bid after 14 days in case no other airline did before). If you chose to directly liquidate and “sell immediately”, you’ll only get half of that money compared to the aircraft market option.

So for this specific case you mentioned, it makes sense that 400 mil would turn into 100 mil liquidation proceeds.

I see. Thank you very much
Is the price determined according to the relationship between supply and demand in the market? If there is no second-hand aircraft of the same kind available in the market, isn’t it possible to sell it at a good price?

The base price is purely dependant on the aircraft age.

If there’s enough demand, you should be able to sell it at a reasonable price to other players… the aircraft trader isn’t meant for paying higher prices, just as an assurance that you can get a decent amount of money back in case you need to sell.
