You can now create a shared economy with your partners using the new Revenue Sharing system. This optional feature lets you automatically pool income from member flights and distribute profits on a monthly basis.

As a partnership manager, you'll find a new Finances tab in your partnership panel. From here, you can enable revenue sharing, which instantly creates a shared bank account for your partnership.

When you first enable revenue sharing, all existing members are set to 100% contribution and an equal share. You can then customize this using the new Update All Revenue Sharing Percentages tool on the Members tab. This allows you to set two key values for every member in the partnership:

• Revenue Contribution %: The percentage of a member's flight revenue that is automatically paid into the partnership pot.
• Share Percentage %: The percentage of the pot that member receives during the monthly payout. The total share must equal 100%.

When a member completes a flight, their contribution is transferred to the partnership account. On the 1st of every month, the entire balance of the partnership account is distributed to all members based on their configured share.

You can track all of this activity in the Finances tab, which shows the partnership's current balance and a full log of all contributions and payouts. The Members tab also provides a clear overview of each member's percentages and their most recent payout.

When a new company joins an already-active partnership, they will be added with 0% contribution and 0% share. You can then use the "Update All" tool to rebalance the partnership's new economy and include them in the payouts

You can read more about Partnership Revenue Sharing in our documentation.

Small Improvements

• Fixed an issue where Passenger Services set to 'create-job' could fail or create invalid jobs when handling large passenger groups. The system now correctly splits passenger loads into multiple jobs respecting the 20-passenger charter limit and prevents a job from being created for any single group that exceeds this limit.
• Fixed a critical issue where an aircraft could become stuck at its destination if you lost access to the arrival slot mid-flight (e.g., if a partnership was dissolved). Your aircraft will now be safely auto-stored or placed on the tarmac, allowing the job to complete.
• Improved the reliability of partnership dissolutions to ensure all airport assets are handled correctly.

We've fixed a significant issue where companies locked for a negative bank balance would remain locked, even after receiving a manual transfer or other payment that brought their balance back to $0 or positive.

Now, as soon as your company's balance becomes non-negative, it will be automatically unlocked, allowing you to resume normal operations immediately. We've also run a data fix to unlock any companies that were previously stuck in this state.

To make your company's status clearer, we've also added new visual indicators:

• You'll now see a "Locked" badge on your Finance page that explains why your company is locked.
• A lock icon will also appear next to any locked company's name in the main sidebar, so you can see its status at a glance.

We've heard your feedback that charter jobs, especially short hops in the early game, often don't feel worth the time and effort.

As a first step towards making General Aviation (GA) more sustainable, we're introducing a new demand premium. You will now receive an additional payment on top of the base fare for both charter and route jobs. This bonus increases your revenue without changing the passenger's underlying travel budget.

This pay boost is most significant for charter jobs, which now include a substantial flat-rate premium, while passengers flying routes receive a smaller (but still significant) subsidy towards their ticket price, resulting in marginally higher demand for routes.

This is just the beginning of our work to re-balance the charter economy. We are actively developing further improvements, including more significant pay boosts and revenue-sharing features for partnerships, which will be released in future updates.

Charter Job Payments

For Charter jobs, you'll receive a £150 premium per passenger. This payment is applied once per passenger group for each job, specifically on the first leg that you fly for them.

If a passenger group's journey is split into multiple legs within the same job, only that first leg receives this extra payment. This makes completing the first step of a charter even more valuable.

Route Job Payments

Route jobs work differently, providing a subsidy that helps both you and the passengers. You will receive an extra £50 per passenger for every route leg they fly with your company.

This payment also acts as a subsidy for passengers, making your routes more attractive. When passengers are deciding if they can afford your route, this £50 is temporarily added to their budget for the affordability check. This means they can afford more expensive or longer routes than before, increasing your potential customer base.

In both Charter and Route cases, this subsidy doesn't come out of the passenger's actual travel budget, so they still have their full funds available for future trips. It's a simple revenue boost for you and an affordability boost for them.

Small Improvements

• Added a manual refresh button for routes that are disabled due to Insufficient Slots. If you believe a route should be active but it appears disabled, you can now press this button to force a re-check. This is a temporary workaround until the root cause is fixed.

Small Improvements

• Fixed a bug in aircraft valuation that could cause unfair price swings. An aircraft's resale value is now correctly based on its original purchase price and condition, rather than the current market price for a new model of that type. This makes valuations more stable and predictable.
• Re-enabled the "Sell to Broker" option, which was temporarily disabled. You can once again sell your aircraft directly to the broker for an instant payment.

We've overhauled the loan borrowing screen to give you complete visibility into all available loan products and why you may or may not be eligible for them.

Previously, loan products you weren't eligible for were simply hidden, often leaving you to guess why. Now, you will see all available loan products listed in the Finance > Available Loans tab.

Products you don't qualify for are clearly marked as "Unavailable" and greyed out. More importantly, we now tell you exactly why you are ineligible directly on the row. This makes it clear what requirements you're missing, whether it's related to your company's net worth, your AOC level, or anything else.

We've also improved the logic for taking out multiple loans. You are now only prevented from taking out a loan if you currently have an active one of the same type.

This means that as soon as you fully repay a loan, you are immediately eligible to take out another one from the same product (provided you still meet all other criteria). You are no longer permanently blocked after using a loan product once.

When you schedule a route, the system is now much more efficient when assigning slots. Aircraft will now prioritise the most appropriate slot for their size, saving your larger capacity for the aircraft that truly need it.

Previously, a small aircraft (like a B190) might have occupied a large slot if it was the first one the system found, unnecessarily blocking it from use by a larger aircraft. Now, the system will always assign the smallest available slot that your aircraft fits into, keeping your high-capacity slots free.

Furthermore, the system will now prioritize using slots that you own before using slots from your partnership.

A More Realistic Net Worth

Your company's net worth calculation has been updated to provide a more accurate picture of your financial health.

Previously, net worth was calculated as your total assets plus your cash balance. It now also subtracts your total outstanding loan balances. This change means your net worth directly reflects your company's equity, giving you a truer measure of your value and influencing your eligibility for new financing.

Bank Loan Overhaul

The bank's entire portfolio of loan products has been overhauled to provide more strategic financing options.

The original 'Kickstart Fund' and 'Expansion Fund' have been re-balanced with new, lower interest rates, updated terms, and clearer eligibility requirements. We have also added several new loan products tied to your company's net worth, allowing for more specialized financing as your company grows.

This update gives you more flexible tools to manage your cash flow, whether you're just starting out or planning a major expansion.

You can now sign agreements for Small Domestic and Small International slots at small airports.

Previously, these slot agreements were restricted to medium and large airports. This change opens up new strategic possibilities, allowing you to establish a footprint and build networks at smaller, regional airfields that were previously ineligible for these agreements.

This gives you more flexibility to expand your operations, especially when starting out or when targeting more remote destinations.

Unlimited Group Size

You can now add an unlimited number of items to your groups. We've removed the previous 10-item limit, making it much easier to manage large collections of aircraft, routes, or airports all in one place.

This change allows for much greater flexibility, whether you're building a "main hub" group with all your long-haul aircraft or a "regional" group with dozens of small airports.

Smarter Demand Previews

The "Preview Demand" button is now more responsive when you're planning routes.

Previously, if you changed the origin or destination airport, the button would disappear until you changed another field, like the price. Now, the demand preview immediately re-appears whenever you change either the departure or arrival airports, making it much faster to test and compare demand for different city pairs without extra clicks.

Other improvements

• Fixed issues that could cause an error message when loading certain routes or aircraft in the Operations Cockpit.
• Corrected flight logging to properly handle landings at unknown or unrecognised airports.

To align with recent changes to charter passenger limites, we've introduced new planning considerations and UI elements to help you manage your charter operations.

When building Dispatch Plans in the Operations Cockpit, you'll see a new Charter Passenger Capacity bar for each job. This bar tracks the passenger count on the job's busiest leg and changes color as you approach the limit—from green, to amber (at 80%), and red once you hit 20 passengers.

You won't be able to add more passenger groups to a job if any leg would exceed the 20-passenger limit.

The Auto-configure Jobs feature is now aware of this limit and will automatically split large passenger groups across multiple jobs to ensure you remain compliant.
