Just two questions here:
1. Can a player (having built a terminal) allocate all of his airline's flights to his terminal, or only other players?
2. Does giving a service contract to an interling partner include any better beneifits/
Now I'm still unsure on the term "service contract" and these questions must sound very silly, but I'd love to have an answer.
Thanks in advance.
When you build a terminal / cargo centre you can allocate or reserve capacity to your airline, or offer it to other players using a service contract. No it will make no difference if your interlining or not. Normally people use a non-AS terminal because it either has a higher rating (AS terminal = 3*) or it is cheaper than AS
So what happens when I sign a service contract and the provider can only handle 5 weekly passengers but my weekly capacity is 1000? Will the first 5 passengers of the week be handled by the service provider and the rest by AS handling? Or none of them will be handled by the service provider at all in this case since all of my flights have more than 5 passengers?
AS will handle the rest of the passengers , but at the AS standard-price.So what happens when I sign a service contract and the provider can only handle 5 weekly passengers but my weekly capacity is 1000?

Thank you for confirming that, bobojama!
Seems like I am billed at the AS standard rate for all of the passengers instead of the first 2 at the provider's rate and the rest at AS rate.

After signing a contract, you have to apply the contract to a either a specific flight number, or to a route. On the information page for your airport office, there are two checkboxes saying "Display flights lacking passenger handling contract" and another box for cargo that you need to manually tick, but will list the specific flight numbers that aren't yet assigned to the contract.
If you don't assign the contract, then you're paying the full AS price, AND another player for terminal space that you aren't using. Before someone chimes in that it should automatically happen and it's stupid otherwise, there's no way to expand a contract, If you've underestimated demand and decide to run another flight to the destination, then you've got to sign a second contract and assign the second contract to the brand new flight.

I did that already. Anyway I signed a new contract as there were more capacity opened up. Now the flights are using the new contract/handling fee. Thanks!
