As a newish player, I wanted to share some expensive mistakes that I couldn’t find on the message board.

If you liquidate a subsidiary with aircraft owned/purchased on credit, those aircraft are not sold at book value to pay your debts. Any positive equity will be lost to repay creditors and not returned to your holding company.

If you wish to purchase terminals, it is best to create a subsidiary that will never operate aircraft. This subsidiary can build and hold your terminals to be leased back to your airline. This separation will allow you to drop salaries to the minimum without impacting your flight ratings. The operating costs of a cargo terminal could be as much as ~$17/CU to as little as ~$4/CU depending on your wages.
