Hub and Spoke System
In Aerobiz Supersonic, the world market is divided into seven regions. Flights within a region are called 'regional' flights. Flights from one region to another are called 'inter-regional' flights. Your destination can be either to a major city or a minor city.
You will build an airline network between cities based on the 'hub and spoke' system. As your network expands, it will begin to look like the hub and spokes of a wheel.
•
Open Regional Routes: A hub is a major transfer point where regional flights connect. All routes in a region fly to the regional hub. For example, if you start with your regional hub in Chicago, you can fly customers from San Francisco to New York by routing them through Chicago to change planes.
•
Open Inter-regional Routes: To expand your network into another region, you must open an inter-regional route. You must fly from a regional hub to a major city in another region. For example, to connect North America to Southeast Asia, you can open a route from your regional hub in Chicago to Tokyo.
•
Close a Hub: When you close a hub, all flights that originate from that hub will also close. If you close your regional hub in Tokyo, all routes in Southeast Asia will close as well as routes you later established to other regions, such as Oceania.
Game Flow
For your airline to grow into the world's top airline, you will have to be a smart executive. While there are many different management strategies, all of them follow the same general game flow.

Preparing to Open New Routes

Hold Board Meeting: Call a board meeting and ask your managers for their recommendations on where to fly.
•
Acquire Slots: You can't land without landing slots. Once you've decided where you want to fly, send your managers to negotiate for slots.
•
Purchase Airplanes: Planes are classified as short-haul, medium-haul, and long-haul. You can fly within one region with short- and medium-haul aircraft, but you will need long-haul aircraft for inter-regional flights. Be sure to check route requirements before ordering.
•
Improve Facilities: Adjust your budget in the Repair, Advertisement, and Service departments to improve performance. Passengers will fly on rival airlines if they feel your facilities are inferior.
Opening Regional Routes
