Dear AM Team,
Something I’ve been thinking about for a while is that it would be much more realistic if companies that want to lease aircraft could also configure those planes according to their standards. It might be even better if we could have options like WET and DRY Lease. This would allow each player, especially early in their career, to get a better understanding of the aircraft and how everything operates.
Also, regarding alliances, the daily donations made by companies within an alliance could be used as a fund for purchasing aircraft. This means that the alliance could buy planes and lease them to member companies, which would be another way for the alliance to show its commitment to helping its members.
Second Hand Market
The implementation of the second-hand market is good, but in the real market, there is a price cap for used aircraft. This would mean we shouldn’t be able to sell planes for 8 billion dollars. Instead, there should be a cap and system where, for example, an A330-200 can't be sold at full price since these planes are considered used on the market. Therefore, the price cannot be 216 million dollars, as that is the manufacturer’s price in this case (Airbus). It would be better if this cap were set around 50 million dollars.
Best regards,
