Slot Improvement solution

Gameworlds seem to die as they age. Large airlines dominate and of course there is always space to grow it becomes difficult especially at key airports.

My solution would be in addition to regular slots, each airline has a limited number of guaranteed slots between their hub and another airport. (only their main hub)
These slots would be completely separate to the existing system and available at any time.

For Example.
Large Airports - 4 Daily Slots
Medium Airports - 2 Daily Slots
Small - Not applicable

This would allowed guaranteed access to blocked airports, and increase competition and fair play. Thoughts?

I like the idea- so basically regardless if the is 0% slots left, every airline gets at least 4 daily pairs from their main base ?

I like the idea as well and I’ve had similar ones (and some a lot more complex :joy:) in the past. Mechanisms like this in general are likely something we should introduce more of…similar to the Immediate Delivery Program that gives new players quick access to new aircraft, but within relatively tight constraints (limited budget, only once per user and game world, etc). Should probably write something up for the feature roadmap…

Yes, i did indeed mean pairs above.

It would allow any new airline the chance to offer flights to the majors. 4x per day to LHR etc should be accessable for all.
Not being able to fly to LHR FRA CDG etc has a major impact on the viability of a new start. Even if its not 100% full your wave times may be impossible.
