Why won't my booked planes depart?

Hello!

First of all I want to inform you that I have read on the wiki about flight planning and flight execution.

So I started playing this game some days ago. I leased a Bombardier Dash8-Q400 NextGen EHGW. I created 8 flight numbers:

I'm talking about flight 1121, 1122, 1123, 1124, 1211, 1212, 1213 and 1214. Flights between Stavanger (SVG) and Oslo Gardermoen (OSL). I added the said airplane to all these flight numbers. 

I then went over to Fleet Management, and to the FLight Plan. I then activated the flight plan, and everything looks correct to me:

The Flight Planning button is now green. I pressed the Flights button, and it looks like this:

All of them are booked. As you can see at the bottom of the picture, it's now 11:51 UTC, and the next flight is at 12:00 UTC, from Oslo Gardermoen to Stavanger. For some reason the airplane is still at Stavanger, when it should have been in Oslo. I'm taking a look at the departures at Oslo, but I can't find my flight at all:

So, what am I missing? What have I done wrong? I can't find any information about this in the wiki. I have tried searching for the problem, but I can't find anything.

I appreciate all the help I can get! Thank you!

Today's the 19th, your first flights depart on 20th.

Oh, that makes sense. I forgot to look at the date, hehe. Thank you very much for the clarification!

Your first flight departs tomorrow from Stavanger and that is where the aircraft is already located today. All is fine.

Always check you have pilots assigned before you activate the flight plan, and also that the current maintenance status is at least 51 percent, preferably not red, else the automatic transfer flight will not take place and you will need to schedule a manual transfer flight.

Thank you very much for the tips! It looks like the maintenance status is 256% right now. Can that be correct?

That is the maintenance ratio. The lower the better, as long as it is kept over 100%. Sometimes you get to lower 100’s but anything under 200 percent is excellent. You may want to see if you can schedule one short round trip to get more utilization, while still keeping the ratio over 100%.
