SCL or MCT

Hello guys! I want to ask you, which airport of those two I should use as a main fleet hub (my BRI is just fun gameplay ;)). I search a cozy airport, which has many gates, but not to many remote stands, and it should have a decent amount of connection routes (B-C). So, I just want a chill gameplay, with big boys and tiny fellas at my airport :))

Waiting for your comments, your funny Skytra :))

MCT is the only airport in the game that can connect to every playable airport, and a large chunk of these are doable with C planes. If you’re okay flying CRJs / ERJs / F70s primarily for B, then you’ll get what you want. If you’re looking for more prop B connections I’d stick in Central Europe.

The main advantage of SCL is that it has an incredibly fast ramp up time when you start a play session. The taxi times from landing to gate are quite short in general, and the airport is a newer and nicer model. SCL with its overlapping stands will also allow more C planes to park at once I believe, but I’d have to count to confirm that. SCL also has a nicer (and newer) model.

Neither of these airports utilize many remote stands, though I think SCL has slightly fewer.

I’d say they are pretty similar in terms of capabilities.

MCT better at Geo-localization, SCL better at cargo.

Really? I thought MCT would be better, bcz of the two cargo parts…

The two cargo aprons at SCL and MCT are both pretty small, but overall neither airport is all that good at it due to small number of stands.

You have 6 A-F cargo stands + 1 D-F that overlaps with 2 A-C cargoes at SCL.

You are limited to 3 A-F cargo and 5 A-C cargoes at a time at MCT as there are no overlapping stands here in game.

MCT offers more connections for class b and c.

MCT has better connectivity, but SCL is VASTLY more fluid and fun to play. It is the only airport i have played all the way to maxing out without getting tired of it. It is probably one of the smoothest operating airports in the game, which is not exactly the reputation of MCT haha. MCT tends to be a massive pain to use because of the absurd taxi times around the airport given the unfortunate runway config. i would personally very much recommend SCL over MCT. The main downside from your perspective will be the fact that it has significantly less connectivity at the B/C class levels than MCT, but I will say I never found that to be a significant limitation.

MCT’s cargo is a bit of a pain as well whereas I find SCL’s to be great, they’re out of the way whereas ar MCT the freighters can block up the pax access to take off. Also, MCT has 2 take off areas for the Southern runway which I find quite annoying. I might be biased though as I do like SCL lol.

Thanks y’all! I’ll see your feedback for a couple of days, and then I’ll announce my hub (SCL or MCT)

Hello guys! I made the decision: It is MCT. I’ll soon make a player news of that decision. This can be closed now! :smile:
