Simviation Forums

I am thinking to start a new VA which will operate mostly jet airliners for passengers service. As a first step I am planning two have two hubs. One will be Athens Intl (LGAV) and I am asking your opinion about which one you would like as second.

Rome, LIRF

or the regional

Ciampino, LIRA

There are several factors to consider when selecting a hub, and a few more when you're doing it with a sim.

1.  Traffic.   You don't want to fly somewhere that is going to result in a 6 hour traffic delay!

2.  Location.  Depending on your fleet, you will want to be somewhere semi-centrally located.  (And in all fairness, even if you've got a fleet of 777s, you'll probably want to be central just to save on fuel!)

3.  Sim hubs...find somewhere visually attractive, preferably with some add-on scenery available for anyone who might want to enhance it a bit.

Good luck!

Chicago-O'Hare. nice airport.

hat makes O'Hare a good airport, other than it's current upgrading of it's terminals for mre passenger throughput (which has what effect on FS!?!) the 6 runways are designed so planes can land in almost any wind direction. also with parallel landings.

other than that, only reason i choose this is because well duh, i live here.
