Savvy business travellers are turning to the emerging air
taxi services industry in their droves and in this latest
add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, you have
the opportunity to run your very own air taxi business. Operate
one of five different air taxi companies based in Europe or
the US, each of which own two or three aircraft. To stay competitive
you will have to price your tickets sensibly but still turn
a profit and stay in the air...
Modern
airlines currently arrange their schedules around a hub and
spoke system to make best use of their high seat capacity.
While this method moves thousands of passengers to their destinations,
the flights are subject to delays and suffer from missed connections,
equipment problems and increased airport security. Savvy frequent
travellers are turning to the emerging air taxi services industry.
An air taxi passenger bypasses the crowded hubs and flies
directly to his destination. They board the aircraft quickly
and is ready moments after touchdown. They also avoid the
inconvenience of long lines and saves valuable time.
As
an air taxi operator, you'll stress streamlined service and
competitive prices as you fly point to point rather than through
the airline hubs. As an air taxi pilot, you'll fly new aircraft
which include three very light jets ("microjet") and high
performance props: Cessna Mustang Safire Jet Diamond Twin
Star Maverick Jet Cirrus SR22.
In
Air Taxi Manager you'll need to remain a profitable air
taxi service by watching your costs carefully. Using the Air
Taxi wizard, you can operate one of five different air taxi
companies and fly typical point to point routes from your
home base. You'll have the freedom to charge your passengers
a competitive price for their tickets. Keep
your planes in the air and you should remain profitable.
It's
really great to see Microsoft offering purchasers of Flight
Simulator 2004 yet another cracking add-on. The graphics
are, as we've come to expect, a thing of beauty and the handling
of the each craft will also take a little getting used to.
There really is a knack to getting your pricing right, while
ensuring that your fleet is fully maintained for regular use.
For
those flight simulator addicts out there, this is yet another
must have addition to your collection.
