I don't think so. Maybe Tracky or Dan can help you. You might have to sell of some of your aircraft or buy small aircraft and work your way
up again.

Yeppers....
Only way to gain more money is by flying, flying again and fly even more...

Keep track of your expenses and revenue, and see which flights and airplanes are the most productive.
More short flights are probably better than fewer long flights. e.g., on two 200-mile flights you can carry twice as many passengers than you would on only one 400-mile flight (using the same airplane). You make more money on longer flights, but I doubt it's twice the money for twice the distance. I'll have to look into that. Make soft landings. That can make a big difference. Fly for fun while making money, not trying to make money while you fly.

DONT SELL PLANES!
UNLESS, u flew a lot of flights that will re get the money you spent on them example: a320 costs 40 millions , when you sell it it will cost maybe around 32-35 millions , so you must earn from it more than 5-8 millions so you wont lose money , and actually doing a couple of a +6 hrs flights with a big jet, a330/340 , b767/777/747,md-11 you will get alot of money more than 10 millions per flight!

I started a company with a single old C172, 10x multiplier and 5% maintenance level. My first big progress was to buy a PA30. Much faster
than C172 and more pax. Another acomplishement was to buy the first BE58. These two planes were the ones a flew the most, but they were not very profitable. The real profit came with Caravan (C201). Very good passenger/fuel rate, but it's slow and has only one engine. When we have an engine problem after t/o or near mountains the losses are huge! So after a few flights with engine flame out after first t/o (no damage) and 3 fuel leaks(didn't reach destination just once) I decided to upgrade and buy an old PAY1. Only relative long flight, around 2 or 3h, are really profitable with this plane. And as I have the PAY from Digital Aviation this is the plane I'll try to keep in my fleet because it's really nice to fly . It has also been very reliable (maybe luck) and I only had a bird strike and fuel leak (did get to dest). Yesterday I sold all my 5 single engine prop planes and now I have a BE58 and a PAY1, really don't know if I did a very good deal, beacuse I don't know if more planes are better than more expensive planes when it comes to fleet income. Can't wait to buy something like B200 or B350, or, in a far away future, ATR72. At least for small planes, I don't beleive flying short flights is more profitable than flying longer ones . BTW I did some sightseeing flights near Orlando area with a Beaver and my hours of light weren't worth it. I agree that selling airplane shall be the last resource to make money though. You'd rather fly! . It's been a long road since I started my company at FSP . Now I am a C17 pilot and about to reach 300 flights/500h/1100pax mark. It's true I stoped using FSP for almost 1 year because (at least felt like 1 year ), after a major glitch in FS9 and receiveing FSX as a gift from a friend that works at M$, I switched to FSX, one year before FSPX came out. I have to say that most of addons I bought were not worth half of the price , but a few like 767 LEVELD, PMDG Boeing NG, ATR 72 and FSP, for FS9, and PMDG MD11, Piper Cheyene, ATR72 and FSPX, for FSX are exceptionally well manufactured and I don't regret paying every cent .

A really good turboprop, faster than the Caravan, is the Pilatus PC-12.
300,000 km/sec. Its not just a good idea, its the law.

Have an airline, have a Connie
Nah, the Lockheed Constellations were IRL and are FS-wise grand MEPs for bringing in the bucks.

DC-2 Dakota or DC-3 are also low cost, great revenue aircraft. Available for FS9 and FSX Although I also have the Connies for FSX Solly..... few years ahead since FS1.0 LMAO

Last time I flew that route earned a big $80.00 (before the x50 multipler) for a flight lasting almost 20-hours. The FsP pax hated it but I had fun; Constellations (any model) are great planes but I'm partial to the DC-6B. Cheers
