The Economy the Airport Operates in

[pderuiter]

Hi there FlyingKiwi, welcome to the forums

The devs have said the following (which all skirt around your actual question):

Hey, what about cites themselves?

Cities do play a small role, since your airport is located somewhere in the world (currently randomized depending on you choice of continent in the start menu), vehicles going to your airport depart from the closest cities. Also, persons who send you e-mail have origins from close cities! … but in terms of constructing buildings that are more of a purpose for a city than an airport, I agree with previous voices…

Economy idea - "live" economy/markets

Very interesting idea! I do think however it would be hard to implement and balance well as mentioned. There is also a lot of work on actually legally getting the data from the internet to the game. However, this is definitely an idea which, if used well, can enhance and drive the tycoon genre forward.
