Hello all.
I am Go Green on Tristar. I did a flight from KHI to JED which is historically a very profitable route due to pilgrims. I also noted that no other airlines were flying that route so naturally I expected high demand on that but surprisingly, I got very low bookings.
Can anyone suggest the reason for that?
FYI: All other airlines have at least one stop on that route and my ORS rating is marginally higher.
There is definitely demand on that route, but there also 2.5k possible connections. Many of those will have worse ratings than your direct connection, but due to the way current-generation AirlineSim distributes passengers, this is no guarantee to win a sizeable share of the market.
For how long did you leave your flight in the system?
Hello Martin. I gave it the full 3 days.
And how many bookings did you receive? Though to be fair: I don’t think anything is wrong here.
I dont think I got more than 20% or 30% load. I’ll try to tweak a few things and see if that impacts my demand but my understanding was that this, being the only direct flight, would get quite a few bookings. Maybe I’m missing something here.
3 days is not enough for some routes. Let the planes fly at least 1 week.
Thanks for the input. I am assuming that has something to do with the image.
