[UI] - Add airliner info in plain cards

:bullseye: What is your suggestion?
Plane cards should have information about airliners. Either by icon or from flight number.

:hammer_and_wrench: How would it work in the game?
User will be able to know more about flight from plane cards only, without the need to open each plane details.

:balance_scale: Why is this a good idea?
This can help on airports with multiple runaways to choose next landing plane. For example, in Muscat airport, Oman Airlines and Salam Air are 2 biggest airliners. One use left runaway, the other right, etc.

But, It also looks more realistic - flight numbers have already all that data, but displaying it can be cumbersome and can be too difficult to read quickly.

Maybe it can also fit well with incoming players logo branding ?! : )

The first option (the middle one) is very good from my view…!

I agree middle one with airline logo I love

That does replace the thing signifying cargo or pax, but then again it’s pretty each to see the “F” in the aircraft class, so I guess it really doesn’t hurt to replace that, I’m all for the middle one too

Actually, passenger (and cargo icon) is moved next to aircraft code… look above class…

everything is still there…

No need to make it so crowdy. The yellow exclamation mark doesn’t add much value that can’t be signalled differently. Move a few icons around and voilà:


This doesn’t address the fact that some logos or brands are not square in dimensions and are not an obvious fit. Those would end up tiny or would require some arbitrary modification.

Really like this idea with the yellow plane replacing the exclamation mark

This one is very good! Earlier I thought about if we need to extend the card a bit to accommodate all the info.

Actually I would prefer the passenger icon to swap with the category icon. So the middle shows the aircraft type and the carrier logo.

I disagree. Here’s why I think this division in thirds works.

Information relevant for infrastructure Information relevant for servicing Destination
Required part/location of airport Maximum pax count (type) Destination airport
Required size of part Service level (brand) Country flag
Service requirements (pax/cargo)

There can be more space by moving passenger/cargo icon in top row, but it still can be too small, especially on smaller phones
