On the map, select an aircraft and origin to see its range. Click an airport to plan a flight; unopened destinations can be purchased when starting the route.
At least one end of each route must be a hub. Check aircraft range and airport size before buying. Multiple aircraft on the same route share demand, so a diverse network earns more.
Airport access, hub prices and new-route setup fees vary with game popularity ratings. Route setup is a one-time fee for both directions, shared by all your aircraft. Existing active connections are grandfathered in.
