Handling times difference

Hi!

I’ve noticed that fleet planes handle faster than regular airline planes from contracts on the map (for example, it’s very noticeable in the A388 model, differing from ~14m to ~20m).

What’s the reason far that?

As a person with many A388s in my fleet, I can assure you that there is no way it only takes 14 min to handle. 14 min is only when there is a new contract and the only required services are boarding, fueling, catering, and baggage. Otherwise it takes anywhere from 16.5-20 min

I’m not saying my example is totally correct, but it happens to me all the time that own fleet or player contracts finish much sooner than A388 from contracts on the map.

Other than that I’m not sure. I’m a player who transitions from player/my own planes to IRL contracts after unlocking the next airport. I haven’t noticed anything like that.

Based on my experience, the handling time difference is occured from the seat configuration. The map contracts are always configured with economy seats only. On the otherhand, player’s fleet planes are configured with mixed seat configuration for better profit of the owner.

If the player fleet plane’s seat configuration is set with economy seats only, the handling time will be same as the map contracts.

That makes sense. Tyvm! :purple_heart:

Mainly seat cofiguration, but the length of the flight can also have a marginal effect because of refueling taking a bit longer :slightly_smiling_face:
