What is happening with the lack of passengers?

General Chat
#1

Almost all of my flights are empty. I’m paying for route marketing and my airline/route awareness is going up but passengers aren’t showing up.

It seems like i’m not the only airline that is having this same issue, what is going on?

#2

Is it because we just started? I cancel my flights and then re-activate them after the first day.

#3

Maybe after a couple of days.

#4

It seems that some airlines already have pax flying after 1 day. On my “flights departing soon” page, there are no pax listed for flights I have operating 2 days out. Hopefully the loads change after another day or two.

I just tried that. Hopefully it works. This is weird, I always had one or two pax on routes to start out with before the reset. I have every route I want to fly on maximum route marketing, plus overall marketing. Still empty planes.

  1. Removed the 10% demand bonus for routes where an airline is the sole operator.
    This might be the reason it’s in the change log.
#7

I guess that 10% makes a difference.

#8

I have also seen my flights flying with no passengers. is it an ongoing issue since the latest restart??

Without any and good enough reputation and/or route awareness you will not get PAX this is normal and by design, just fly the route for a while, and build up route awareness and get your reputation sorted (aim for 100%)
