Sorry, I have trawled the website for answers on this, but am afraid suggested solutions don't seem to apply to my situation.
As per the attached pictures, I have 2 planes in my fleet (based in BRU), both planes have a good servicing/maintenance record. The schedule also seems to be all green, which you can see from the two other pictures. I activated/executed the schedule instantaneously yesterday.
Yet neither of the 2 planes seem to be flying their scheduled routes... Can anyone advise why?
I am sure it has been answered several times, but why not...
when did you click "activate" and did you choose "active" or "active with three days delay"? also, a screenshot of the "flights" tab is the only really relevant one here.
unrelated, you should really try to utilize your aircrafts more, as this way, the fixed costs are spread over too few flights to be really profitable.

Hi Yukawa,
I clicked 'activate' flight plan, and then execute. I did that yesterday (last night).
And to your second 'unrelated point', that was actually going to be my next question. I definitely agree with your point - there's a wide gap in the middle, and I intend to fill that one, e.g. by opening a short route to fill the gap (say BRU-CDG or GVA). But - to continue with that example - I may of course have to push the evening flights to WAW a bit later to give enough time to slot another return route in the middle. And yet, the evening flights might then not cut it, e.g. where I have slots issues etc. I suppose the alternative would be to have that same plane fly another evening route, which would require ensuring there is an alternative plane available to fly the evening to WAW. Hence my question - is there a best practice to scheduling flights? For example, do you tend to schedule the same flights for each plane every day (current situation)? Because if not, it becomes a real headache to identify which plane is available to take on a particular route.
since you only started 24 hours ago, the first flights should depart in an hour or two. just click the "flights" tab for a list of flights per aircraft
and since all of your questions so far have been answered multtple times, please use the search function and read at least this tutorial
btw, 90% of your current hub in BRU have already been used by other airlines. you should really re-consider your choice for a hub.
Thank you. I see that now, and understand better it's best to start in a completely different market, which I shall do. I read your very helpful tutorial/blog post about looking at statistics for each airport in each server, however, I can't understand how you can do that for each server without registering in each... I.e. do I need to create a new company/or even the same in each server, or is there a more centralised way to compare/contrast traffic per server?

Thanks,
The easiest way is to look at the airport's information page. (example) You don't need an airline on the server to see this. LHR's (from the example) 33% availability means that 66% of slots are already used by other airlines. You want to find an airport that has a high availability.
Thanks Matth and Kenmuir, I see that now. I guess the next question is how to compare different countries across servers so that I know which one is best to choose? Is that feasible?

There isn't a cross-server tool to determine availability at a specific airport, and to create one would result in querying every server, which is frowned upon. (literally.)
The best way to determine a place to start, without violating user agreements or using third-party tools, is to pick a server, then find countries with few enterprises. (Database > Statistics > Countries:Enterprises > pick a country that doesn't appear on the list, or does appear on the list but with only a couple of enterprises) Then pick your starting airport.
