Missing Airlines and Realistic Layover Routes

General discussion
1

As someone who really enjoys World of Airports for its attention to detail, I love playing the game based on real-life airline operations. However, I’ve noticed that some airlines and their actual routes aren’t represented, especially those involving layovers. For example:

EVA Air flies to LHR via BKK

Royal Brunei flies to LHR via DXB

Air Baltic connects to other cities via ZRH

These are real-world operations, and it would be amazing to see these airlines and layover patterns added in future updates. I understand the game doesn’t focus on connecting flights, but a few realistic exceptions like BA at SIN already exist—so adding more would really enhance the experience.

Players who enjoy replicating real-world airline routes miss out on flying some key carriers and routes due to their absence or unrealistic routing. This takes away from the immersion and realism that makes the game so special.

Welcome to the forums! And yes there are many real life operations that aren’t implemented. I kindly ask you to take a look at these two topics and give them a vote if you find realistic flight routes important. The devs will focus more on the Feature requests category instead of general discussion. I’ve tried to catalog these routes so feel free to comment if you find any that are missing from these lists.

I do want to point out that the airBaltic flights out of ZRH are wet leased flights and so they operate on behalf of Swiss (due to Pratt & Whitney engine troubles). It’s quite unlikely that we’ll get these types of wet lease contracts since they’re often short-term and unpredictable.
