Game Version:
3.5.1 - Issue since 3.4.0

Airport:
INN

Description of the Bug:
At INN, the availability of B752s on the same routes differs by airline, whereas it’s normally consistent on other routes. Jet2 B752s are available as regular contracts, but then on the exact same routes (INN to MAN and BHX are the examples picked) the Monarch B752 isn’t available. Another concern is if this became a wider issue with more airlines in a scenario where we hypothetically got other 757s suitable for INN such as TUI or Thomas Cook.

Steps to Reproduce:
Compare Jet2 and Monarch contract availability at INN.

Additional Notes:
If truth be told, I’m not quite sure of this constitutes as a bug or not, but it’s a strange anomaly between 2 airlines on the same routes. The issue this creates is the only (currently available) D plane we have for INN isn’t actually available there, despite the Jet2 ones being readily available.

I’ve also included some images to show Monarch 757s at INN, not only would it make things more consistent between airlines, as the rewards given from a Monarch and Jet2 757 would be identical, but adds some extra realistic contracts to fill up the recently added D stands.

Also, looking through INN screenshots, the Jet2 757s are extremely popular, so it would be a shame to limit it to Jet2 when you’ve got a second, realistic livery to use on the very same routes.

Having done my INN historic routes post you can see in Winter 2011 the B752 was used on 2 flights a week from LGW,

I’m not sure about Manchester or Birmingham (I believe Manchester may have been a 757 route in the 2000s but I was unable to find anything through the wayback machine) but for an irl route which Jet2 is on, itself having never used 757’s on the route, it really would be great to see.

I’d really love to be able to get a few more of these B752s here as well. Options are good for the players, and let us play the way we want!

See I’ve never understood this with INN, there’s all the 757s and 767s from North America there, as well as Icelandair and Jet2 757s, but the Monarch ones (the only ones to ever actually fly to INN from our in game selection, besides Icelandair) were missed out. If there’s more to it why these aren’t available then I’d be curious to know, but then like I mentioned, if there is a bigger reason why these haven’t been included other than they were missed out then that would go and make this same anomaly more widespread with any future additions.

I just think it’s odd to miss out a contract that actually flew to the airport in the real world, but include the exact same aircraft type for another airline on the same routes. I’m glad it’s not just me though, and others want the Monarch 757s at INN, really use the livery to its full potential.

I think everything confusing was down to the distance based contract system that generally limits bigger airplanes on short distances. I am not fully opposed to it but operations in the world can be really complicated.

And the system seems rely on manual input which make it is harder to manage and reaching a breaking point.

If we see a clear rework I feel most of the discussions around “why no CX widebodies to BKK at HKG but could buy it at BKK” or “why I didn’t find B752 at INN” will disappear overnight.
