What is your suggestion?
The option to sign a contract with an airline as a whole rather than only for specific aircraft
How would it work in the game?
When in the map contract area, when selecting an airline you could still choose to sign for specific planes, or you could sign for a passenger Contract and receive a random aircraft each time the airline sends it’s flight. For local airlines (eg, Austrian at Innsbruck) this would rarely change, but for airlines flying into your airport (eg literally anything regional+ that is not an airline based in the airport) it could be more common (it also depend so the airline, if only 1 aircraft exists then the only contract option would be for that plane.)
If an airline has cargo aircraft mixed with the fleet then the option to sign a cargo contract would also appear
only one contract slot would be taken by one of these contracts, and to balance it, only one plane would be in the airport at a time, and once the plane has returned to it’s home airport, it would then either be kept or changed before being sent back
local airlines would have this option, but the changes would be much less common, and potentially could happen at the airport if another plane is currently handling (eg a BAW 777 at LHR from POS finishes deboarding and then changes destination to DFW, later a BAW A35K from DFW does the same, swapping to POS)
Why is this a good idea?
it could allow for
- more realism as some airlines often use different aircraft on certain routes
- possibility to have a special livery appear if the airline has one or more
- Woapedia collection could be easier while not wasting multiple contract slots
