Is anyone else addicted to this game? If not, click here to start ;)

http://apps.facebook.com/airline_manager

It's pretty basic and they have way to few airports, but I'm hooked already. You get a 737-800 and a bunch of cash to start off, once your start-up reserves run out you have to buy your fuel, pay staff, and operate profitably so you can afford new aircraft and routes - so pretty much like a lot of the online airline simulators, but for Facebook.


I've been playing for a week now and this is where I'm at:

Hub 1 - Petropavlovsk Kamchatsky, Russia:

RA-002 An-24 Vladivostok
RA-003 An-148-100B Beijing
RA-007 An-148-100B Osaka
RA-008 An-24 Sapporo
RA-009 An-24 Tokyo Narita
RA-015 An-148-100B Anchorage

The An-24s are surprisingly good, excellent actually, but will probably be phased out once I can start upgrading some of the An-148 routes to Tu-154 or Tu-204 equipment. There are other routes they could fly in the Russian Far East region, but I canned them as they were losing money.

Hub 2 - Vladivostok, Russia:

RA-004 An-26 Seoul
RA-005 An-26 Shanghai
RA-010 An-26 Sapporo
RA-011 An-26 Tokyo Narita
RA-012 An-26 Pyongyang
RA-016 Tu-134A Beijing
RA-017 Tu-134A Osaka
RA-018 Tu-143A Fukuoka

The An-26s were dirt cheap to buy and are good for opening routes, but now the game has made Tu-134s available they will be gradually replaced, all being retired instead of paying to put them through a C check at 400 flight hours.

Focus City - Khabrovsk:

RA-001 Il-114-100 Petropavlovsk Kamchatsky
RA-013 Il-114-100 Beijing
RA-014 Il-114-100 Sapporo

They go wrong occasionally, but the Il-114 is quite a profitable little aircraft. Not sure where I see the destination developing though, my priority is to upgrade equipment and then lanch services to Moscow from both hubs. Eventually I see Vladivostok serving as a hub for Far East-West traffic, and Petropavlovsk Kamchatsky serving as a hub for Far East-North American traffic.


As I said... it's addicting {thumbsup}

I'm going to have to look into it, as I've just "finished" MafiaWars. I'm OOT on the laptop for about another 5 days, so I need online games when I'm not at work or doing my homework.

Texas 1nternational is now offering DAL-ANC service with a 738 and DAL-BHM service with a ATR72-600!

May I also take this opportunity to announce I have no idea what I am doing? Thanks! :))

Just started playing; don't normally do facebook games, but this one sounds interesting!
There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

We've also just added a DAL-OKC Flightseeing service on our Antonov An-2 Colt!

Doesn't seem to be selling very well at the moment though with 65% demand and 58% empty seats. :|

Fuel is ass-rapingly expensive right now. I have 75,000lbs of the stuff I bought at £400/1000lb left, and 18 thirsty aircraft wanting to be fueled in the next three hours... I hope it goes down from $2100 soon! {check}

Just made over $80,000 on a MAN-TLL flight. Though I lost $5000 changing the itinerary from FRA to TLL :(

I'm investing in your airlines.
Make me some money. :))

Royalty Airlines is in operation with a LAS-PHX route.

Didn't know the game added the word "airlines" on to the end of you name automatically.
I'm flying Royalty Airlines Airlines. {laugh}

I don't suppose you can play this without being on Arsebook?
My friend and I applied for airline jobs in Australia, but they didn't Qantas.
Airfoilsguy (Founding Member) 10 Nov 09, 23:22Post
We broke it


We are doing maintenance on AM
Dear all. We are taking regular backup of the servers, and doing some system optimization.
We estimate that this backup may take around 1 hour.

Fuel is ultra cheap right now - $400 - just in the nick of time for me. Stocked back up with 1,600,000 lbs which should see me through the next day or two. {thumbsup}

You have to buy fuel?

Fuel just quadrupled in price. Glad I bought when I did.
