Introduction

• Watch the Oil market price and manage your oil contract here.
• You do NOT need to buy any oil contract to have your airplanes fueled.
• Oil will be auto purchased by the inventory price if there's no active contract or the contracts do not cover all the consumption

Inventory Price and Policy

• $70 is considered the "neutral" oil price. Price above is considered over-priced and below is under-priced.
• By default, your airline will be assigned the "conservative" inventory policy which shields your airline from 90% of price fluctuation.
• For example, if the current oil market price is $80 which is $10 above the neutral price, you will only need to pay $71 which is 90% off the price delta ($10).
• Though conservative policy protects you from price fluctuation, it also means that you will reap less benefit when the oil price is low.

Oil Contract

• You can also sign an oil contract with a specified duration to lock the price you pay.
• The contract price is based on current oil price and the duration of the contract.
• You might terminate the contract early by paying termination fee.
• Please be reminded that excessive oil from the contract will be sold back to the market at half the market price.
• The default contract volume is the barrels required to fulfill your need based on the oil consumption from previous week.

• Service quality will climb slowly to your target level, after all, R&D and training take time!

Office Staff

• Next, you will find a table of Airline Bases with office staff and overtime information
• Each of you base/hub has office staff capacity based on its scale and type (HQs have higher staff capacity)


• Each of your flight will take up a base number of staff depending on the flight type - longer and internation flights require more staff to maintain
• Extra frequency and capacity will consumer more staff as well, with higher frequency usually take up more staff than high capacity


• If your flights require more staff than the base can provide, extra overtime compensation will be incurred every week


• In order to avoid overtime compensation you might:
• 1. Drop flights that are not profitable or not crucial for your network
• 2. Level up your base/hub
• 3. Use bigger airplanes to increase capacity instead of high frequency with smaller airplane models
