Hi everyone,
I was looking at the wiki currently and I saw that most of the planes that are out there are bigger airplanes, with not many planes that have less than 150 seats.
In the real world, there are 2-3 companies that take advantage of this by manufacturing small aircraft. (Bombardier, Embraer, McDonald Douglass(I think they merged with Boeing??))
In the FSA/OGF world there are none yet.
Maybe there are some that I missed??
Another thing is that the routes that are used with these aircraft are short-haul routes, used to connect a passenger from their home airport to the closest hub the airline has to that airport. Then these passengers get on medium-haul flights or long-haul flights to their final destination.
Overall, what I am trying to say is that the OGF world needs more short-haul routes and medium-haul routes than long-haul routes. We also need new aircraft to service these routes.
If there is something that I missed or anything you want to tell me, feel free to comment on this post.

This is really interesting. (Theres this page you can check: https://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/OGF:Where_to_fly)
Its more realistic to have short haul flights in OGF. Im not sure about planes manufacturers that have small aircraft though; I think you can try digging up some aircraft manufacturers on the wiki. Maybe FSA can come up with its own aircraft manufacturer if it doesnt have one yet?

In the FSA, Contair manufactures Contair B30, a “regional turboprop plane” (with an ATR72 picture). For other manufacturers, see this category.

@austinhuang I see now that there are many other companies. Although there are many undeveloped pages where we don’t know anything about their aircraft. T
Thanks for the tool. It is really helpful.

I believe SAI focuses on the smaller planes.

Do we have a concept of the largest “air hubs” yet?

Well since OGF nations come and go, not really? I guess the only established air hub is Khaiwoon.

Maybe Gobras City or Stanton, as those are collaborative projects.
