Routes: read the card before you add a line
Every route opens a card showing the last flight's load factor, its cash result, warnings about demand and fare, and a recommended fix. The reviewed London–Lagos card is the clearest example: 68% full, +$4,339 on the last flight, yet flagged because the fare sat above what most passengers would pay.

How this section is organised
The map is the main screen. Airport badges sit on the world map, your hub is highlighted, and each opened route draws a line with a small aircraft on it. Tapping a badge or a line opens the route card, which is where every decision in this section starts.
The card reports what actually happened on the last flight and what the game thinks you should change. This section explains how to read those two things together, how fare tiers and cabin service interact, and when a route should be cut rather than repaired.

Run an Airline Route Planning: Match the Sector to the Aircraft
Plan routes by matching three numbers — sector distance, aircraft range and quoted block time — before looking at fares. A route is only worth pricing once the aircraft can reach it and repeat it inside your session.

Run an Airline Fares: Budget, Recommended and Premium
Every route offers three fare tiers, and the gap between them is your pricing room. On the reviewed London–Lagos route that gap was $270 per seat, from $478 budget to $748 premium, while the game still recommended moving down rather than up.

Run an Airline Load Factor: Why Your Cabin Is Half Empty
Load factor is the percentage of seats actually filled, and it is the fastest diagnostic on the route card. A low figure points to either a fare above willingness to pay or an aircraft that is too large for the route's demand.

How to Fix or Cut a Losing Route in Run an Airline
A losing route gets two repair attempts before it should be closed: cut the cabin service to basic and drop to the budget fare, then re-run. If the per-flight result is still negative after both, the aircraft is worth more on another line.

Route questions
What does the route card actually show?
It shows the last flight's load factor and cash result, a short list of issues such as soft demand or a fare above what passengers will pay, a recommendation with an estimated change, and the three fare tiers with the current cabin service price.
Should I always pick the recommended fare?
No. The recommended tier is the game's starting point, and the reviewed London–Lagos card explicitly suggested moving below it to budget when the cabin was filling at 68% with premium service. Compare the load factor before accepting the middle tier.
How is cash per hour different from cash per flight?
A long sector can post a bigger per-flight number while earning less for each hour the aircraft is busy. Dividing the per-flight result by the quoted block time turns both into the same unit so a feeder and a long-haul route can be compared.
When should a route be closed?
Close it when two fare reductions and a service cut still leave the per-flight result negative, or when the aircraft would earn more on a route you already know. The game's own warning only tells you what is wrong, not whether to abandon the line.
Turn the card into a number
Enter the fare, seats, load factor and cost you can see and get the break-even load factor for that route.
