Introducing Air Operator Certificates

We’re introducing a new Air Operator Certificate (AOC) system, adding a new layer of progression to your company's growth. Your AOC level determines the types of aircraft you can operate and influences your financial capabilities.

When you start a new company, you will now select your starting AOC level, which comes with an associated certification fee. Each level unlocks access to larger and more complex aircraft categories.

This new certification directly impacts your operations:

• Aircraft Purchases: You will only be able to purchase aircraft that fall within your company's current AOC level.
• Loan Capacity: A higher AOC level demonstrates greater operational capability, which increases the maximum amount you can borrow from the bank.
• Upgrades: You can upgrade your AOC level at any time through your company management panel, allowing you to expand your fleet and take on bigger challenges.

This system is also being applied to all existing companies, which have been migrated to the appropriate AOC level based on their current fleet.

Other improvements

• Updated airport data and geographic scores for improved accuracy.
• Fixed an issue that could cause incorrect profit calculations on the monthly finance report.
• Improved the styling of informational quote blocks and messages throughout the interface.
• Company profit and loss no longer takes fixed assets into account.
