I'm in ATO2 on channel 256 as BMT Transport
Is it worth replacing my 747-100s with -200s for their slightly better fuel economy? There's an economic criais going on, so will it?
Managed to rank 11th place in value and 7th in passenger
Probably not choosing KL as my hub next time, rlly OP at the start but becomes really terrible one once u reach the late 2010s
Might start playing ATO3 but idk
Dropped by more than 100 places, then jumping back up by more than 100 places.
How is this possible?
Plus, I'm back for another round!
At least it's more realistic for me
After some competition and tough times, i finally beat this game.
I'm thinking that i'll start Budget Airline where i cram the seats like sardines.
If anyones online i just need some tips for ATO2
So basically, i just bought another airline that was having quite alot of negative profits (around -9,000k) and i noticed my profits dropped all the way down to 23,000k (usually my profits range to 60,000k to 220,000k) can someone tell me if this is just a temporary thing or am I doing something wrong
Eyy nearly all my routes boosted to 100% occupancy
Hi, Folks -
Jetlover747 here. As you may have noticed from our little box at the bottom of your screen, we've changed something. Something big. I'm proud to announce the first changes to our top bar wiki navigation system since 2020, removing the old , unused pages like the Free Talk Forum and adding in pages that could be important to almost everybody here like the community's strategies and recommended aircraft as well as the group of city articles. Hopefully these changes make it easier for you to find the information you're looking for and if you have suggestions for pages that we could add to the bar feel free to leave them in the comments.
Enjoy!

AI is in expert mode yet still loses to me cause of the power of SO spamming with 747's. My profits
Compare to the 1st rank AI's profits
AI at beginner difficulty is a joke
You guys maybe think that i'm dead, but not so fast. Today I wanna share about what are the sweet and bitter experiences that i got while playing this new ATO3.
The photo that i show in previous post is when i'm in Ch. 291, but i restarted because i think i messed up, so i play in Ch. 295 with same logo and name but with different livery. all things were going as planned until 1980, where the Top 1 guy is infecting my routes that makes me in severely bad position because he's taking my high-demand routes, so i close these routes and try to open other ones that'll be profitable. That move is not doing any better, especially i mismanaged my airline by investing on 2 cities, Dubai and LA so my earnings were killed and i have to withdrew from that channel since it was no longer profitable. I started new Airline, SkyArts Inter in Ch. 316 and instead in Cairo that initially got low competition but heats up later, I started at Taipei in late 1968 (1968.11/1968.12) instead in 1974.03. Even though with lower initial money, I managed to get my airline profitable with bunch of 727-200s on high-demand routes, all of them are monopoly initially. With arrival of 747, i use them in high-demand routes and after all of that, my airline is now 80% Widebodies and still going strong until this day.
After beating ATO2, I decide to play the newer ATO3, I joined on 1974.1 and started my Hub on Cairo like I did on ATO2. Surprisingly, it got low competitions. Wish me luck on ATO3.

So here i want to share what are the features that will make this game even more interesting:
Bank
So, Bank is a feature that can be a turn-point if your company was in danger of bankruptcy, by asking loans, adjust payment period and get the money, you can use it by purchasing planes or renew the fleet. Minimum Loan amount is 100,000K meanwhile the max is 1,000,000K. The money you get wouldn't be added to the Value, and you can't ask for loans until you pay all of the charged bill depending on the payment period, also instead of including this as expense, it will be need to paid manually, if you forgot to pay it, the bank will charge you extra 10% penalty fee. Don't worry though, there will be a notification that will remind you to pay your bills.
Hull-loss Accident
"Due to Crew Error/Improper Maintenance, The plane of <company name> was severely damaged and <number of fatalities> fatality(s) has been reported."
This is basically regular Airplane Accident but in a whole new level. This is an Accident where your plane can randomly crash (even the 240m lifespan ones) And the crash is guaranteed to have a fatality. but the odd of this happening is very small. Older Aircraft with less than 80m lifespan will risk Hull-loss to happen more often. not done here yet, the "Family of Victim fine" will include as an expense to your airline, and it will be charged at fixed amount, depending on the fatalities.
Pre-Order planes
This is a feature where you can purchase plane that still on a test-flight phase, but it won't be delivered until the month its released. the pre-ordered planes still needs money at the time you pre-ordered it but it won't count as a slot for plane orders. you can regularly order planes while having a pre-ordered plane on the background. after the plane is released, it will delivered immediately to you (didn't apply if you order 1 month before it was released
Combi Planes
This is a plane, that got Passenger class and Cargo class. you maybe ask "Is it belong to Cargo or Passenger route?" the answer is, it belong to both route. The Passenger class will belong to Passenger route, and Cargo class will belong to Cargo route. This can be an option to maintain Cargo and Passenger profit. Also, with appropriate long range aircrafts, you can do stopovers with it. earning more money from passenger and cargo route. And now, "How do i configure the classes?" Cargo class can be adjusted to have more capacity, same as passenger configurations, difference is that it didn't have an option to adjust the pitch, because it's just unnecessary and kinda ridiculous. after reading all of this, you may see that Combi Planes will be overpowered, but it also got some drawbacks, like the schedule cut in half (you have 6 schedule if you operate only passenger/cargo but will be only 3 if you operate Combi planes), More expensive than buying Passenger/Cargo class only plane, and you can't adjust cargo rooms on renovation, so you need to reconsider if the cargo room was enough.
Terrorism
"Due to a Terrorism action on the <city name>, the travelers in and out from the city are greatly decreasing."
This is an event where the traveler index in and out of the city were greatly decreasing, and the terrorism will show at the fixed date, on 1977.03 on Canary Islands and definitely, 2001.09 on New York.
I think that's it for today, see ya tomorrow.
I honestly never thought i will even make it to 2010, Back in 2021 when i was still a noob, i couldn't even make it to 1980. This was a big improvement and i'm honestly glad i could make it to this point.
After waking up, seeing World Airline News, I'm witnessed with this thing again, doesn't the wiki say it will occur on the 1970-1980, 1987-2000, and 2007-2020? i think the info is outdated.
