Companies can now hire out GA aircraft directly to pilots to configure their own charter jobs.
Whether you are a freelance pilot looking to earn quick cash or a contracted pilot wanting to self-dispatch a GA aircraft from your airline's fleet, the new Charter Aircraft for Hire tab in the Job Marketplace gives you the freedom to build your own flights based on the same global demand that company managers use to build Dispatch Plans and Routes.
Once you select an aircraft, you have control over the manifest. You can choose which passenger groups to load and visualise how they fill the aircraft. From here, you can accept the job in one click and start flying!
Airline managers can now put their idle GA fleet to work by making aircraft available for hire.
You retain operational control by setting specific restrictions. You can limit your aircraft to specific countries, enforce a maximum distance from a base airport, and/or apply any demand filter. For example, you can restrict demand to "Last Leg" only (perfect for making sure you unlock revenue) or "Can Traverse Routes" (great for funneling passengers into your route network).
You can read more about Aircraft Hiring for companies and pilots in the documentation.
We have introduced a new Allowed on Routes filter to the demand search options.
When enabled, this filter automatically hides specialised demand types that are incompatible with standard scheduled operations.
Note that you may need to clear your cache from the ... More menu in the bottom left of the screen before the filter shows.
Route demand no longer includes corporate or executive demand that is designed for charter/bizjet usage.
## Other Changes
- The Can Traverse Routes filter now automatically excludes these incompatible demand types, preventing you from picking up passengers who would not be able to get to their destination via routes.
Maps have been upgraded to include specific gate numbers, visible when you zoom in on the terminal area. This detail appears automatically at higher zoom levels, keeping the view clean when you are looking at the broader airport layout.
We have improved the logic that determines when routes are enabled or disabled during partnership changes to ensure immediate accuracy.
You can now move money freely between companies and players. All four transfer types are supported:
This replaces the old "Inject Funds" mechanic. Any player can now send money from their personal bank account into a company without needing a special privilege.
Company transfers follow stricter rules. A company can only send out up to its current month’s profit, and never more than its actual bank balance. Transfers count as Manual Transfer expenses, so sending money out immediately lowers the profit figure for that month. Loans don’t affect this limit; companies can’t use loan income to increase how much they’re allowed to transfer.
Personal transfers have no profit limit. You can move any amount up to your personal balance, whether paying another player directly or supporting a company.
To control company-originated transfers, a new Transfer Funds privilege has been added. It determines who can initiate B2B and B2P transfers and replaces the removed Inject Funds privilege.
A new Can Traverse Routes filter is now available in the demand view. This filter lets you limit demand to only the destinations your network can actually reach from a chosen drop-off airport.
When you select a drop-off airport, the demand view automatically shows only the passenger groups whose final destination can be reached through your current route network (including up to three hops and any Passenger Services coverage you’ve built).
This helps you choose which demand to take on charters, eliminating the manual review of your network and helps answer the question "If I drop off these passengers, can they even be delivered?".
You can now apply new filters to the Demand lens, allowing you to quickly find passengers willing to fly to or from specific types of airports.
This new filtering capability is especially useful for companies operating specialized fleets. For example, you can easily filter for demand groups that originate at Heliports or those that are only flying into Small Airports.
The available filter options cover four main airport categories:
We have completed a major overhaul of the company loan system. We discovered a bug in our interest calculations that made loans significantly more expensive than intended. This has been corrected. All loans now use a clearer Annual Percentage Rate (APR) model, and interest rates have been significantly reduced across the board.
We've also introduced new "Standard Growth Loan" tiers to help you expand your company at different stages of your career.
Most importantly, we have run a script to rebalance all existing loans. If you have an active loan, its interest rate has been lowered to match the new, cheaper APR rates, and your remaining payments have been recalculated. You don't need to do anything; your loan is now cheaper.
You now have the ability to update your company's name and ICAO code. In your company preferences, you'll find the new fields after clicking on the Edit button next to your company details.
This allows you to rebrand your company or fix typos you made during setup.
We've continued to refine the economy by slightly reducing the prices for many aircraft in the database. We also updated seating and payload statistics for several airframes to be more accurate.
Additionally, we've added a Request a new aircraft button directly to the aircraft database page, linking you to the official request form.
We fixed a critical bug in the seat assignment logic for charter jobs. Previously, the system that checked passenger seating has a bug that allowed you to accept a job with an aircraft that was actually too small.
The logic now correctly handles upgrades for charter jobs where Business passengers fill empty First Class seats before Economy passengers do. This ensures that an aircraft is only marked as valid if it truly has enough seats for all passengers after all upgrades are processed.
We've improved slot validation for aircraft jobs. The Available Aircraft screen will no longer show an aircraft as valid if it doesn't have a required departure slot. The diagnostic view is also clearer, showing separate checks for departure and arrival slots.
