HUB AND SPOKE SYSTEM

In Aerobiz Supersonic, the world market is divided into seven regions. Flights
within a region are called regional'fli0s. Flights Irom one region to another are
called Mer-regional' flights. Your destination can be either to a major city or a
minor city. You will build an airline n&work between cities based on the ‘hub and
spoA’e 'system. As your network expands, it will begin to too/r like the hub and
spokes of a vdieel.

1. Open Regional Routes

A hub is a major transfer point where regional flights connect All routes in a
region fly to the regional hub.

Try this example: Start with your regional hub in Chicago, in the North American
region. To fly your customers Irom San Francisco lo New York, you 'll need a route
Irom San Francisco to C/wcago customers can change planes and take a
connecting fli0 on your airline to New York.

Home Base Hub © Minor City O

Major City O Inter-r^imal Flight =

- ¥ -

2. Open Inter-regional Routes

To expand your network from your home region into another region, you need to
open an inter-regional route. You must fly Irom a regional hub to a major city in
another region.

To open an inter-regional flight between the North American region and the
Southeast Asian region, you must first select a major city in Southeast Asia as
your destination. Suppose you selected Tokyo. You can then open a route from
your regional hub in Chicago, to Tokyo.

SouthestAsia

North America

3. Expand from Regional Hub

You can build only one hub per region. In our exatr^e you opened a route to
Myo. in a new region. Youcan esl^li^ Tokyo as your Southeast Asian hub.
Continue to open inter-regional flights between hubs to connect regions.

From your regional hub in Tokyo, you can open routes to any city in Southeast
Asia. In this way, your North American regional %% are connected to Southeast
Asian regional (lights. You nay also open an inter-regional route from Tokyo to a
major city in another rep/on. such as (keania.

Oceania

4. Close a Hub

When you close a hub. all fiighls that originate from that hub will also close. If you
close your regional hub in Tokyo, all routes in Southeast Asia will close as well as
routes you later established to other regions, such as Oceania.

Goal : Meet Year-End Victory Conditions

Prepare to Open New Routes

Begin to build your airline fiy opemng rm routes mlhin your home base region.
Let's take a took at bow you go about tuning up new rotdes...

1. Hold Board Meeting

it's ditiicutt to decide where to ily, so call a board meeting and ask your managers
lor their recommendations (See BOARD MEETING Command).

2 . Aquire Slots

You can't land without landing slots, so once you've decided where you want to
fly, you must quickly send your rr&nagers to negrAi^e lor slots (See ■
NEGOTIATIONS Command).

3. Purchase Airplanes

One of your biggest expenses will be the purchase and maintenance of airplanes.
Planes are dassilied as short-haul, medium-haul, and long-haul. You can Ily
within one r^ion with a short- and medium-haul aircraft, but you will imf a
long-haul aircraft for inter-regional flights. Using a long-haul aircrah tor short
distances is impractical as vmll as expensive. Be sure to tAwck the requirements
lor routes in the making before you order new planes f&e BUY AIRFIMIES
Command).

4. Improve Facilities

Adjusl your budget in the Repair, Advertisement, and Service departments to
improve their performance (See BUDGET Command). Passengers will Ily on rival
airlines if they feel your lacilities are inferior.

Open Regional Routes

When pr^aralionsareconplele. you can open new routes in your home base
region (See NEW ROUTES Command). As you exp^and you wilt quidti'y run out of
landing slots at your home base, so keep negotiating lor more slrAsas needed.

Open lnter*regional Routes and Build Hubs

After you expand within your home base region and increase your capital, you'll be
ready to branch out to other regions. To open up inter-regional routes, follow the
same procedure when you opened routes in your home region. Hold a board
meeting, make your decision, and send a manager out to negotiate lor landing
slots.

Keep in mind that lor inter-regional routes, you may have only one route between
Iwo regions. You mus! build a hub at the end point of an inter-regional route
before you can expand your network within that region (See HUB Command). The
location of your regional hubs will have a major impact on your ultimate success
or failure. Be sure to select their locations wisely!

Also remember that opening inter-regional routes is a major inveslmenl of
resources. It requires a large amount of capital and pricey long-haul aircraft. Plan
expansion carefully to avoid costly mistakes. You don't want your growth to
backfire and undermine your financial foundation.

Expand Routes Within New Regions

Once you set up a new hub, strive to increase passenger totals in the new region.
Your competitors wilt be right behind your every move, so keep informed of whal
they are doing, too. You may need to adjust your flight plans often to keep ahead
of the competition (See ROUTE SETTINGS Command).

Purchase Businesses

Every dly tras business r^rlunilies v^ich may benefit ym airline. IIyou have
excess capilai, you may want to invest in such businesses (See BUSINESS
Command).

Run Advertising Campaigns

When your Load, or the passenger load ralio. Is disjointing, or it you mnt to
get ahead olyour corrot'tion. promotional campaigns might give your airline a
boost. It you own cultural, amusement, or service businesses in at least one city
in your network you can run a campaign that will benefrt the entire r^ion (See
CAMPAIGN Command). It your promotion is successtut, Load will increa^ tor
one year on flights to and from that r^ion.

Meet Year-End Victory Conditions

At the end of the January quarter, the year-end results of the lour competing
companies will be comp^ed. Work hard and strive to earn placement as Ihe

SCENARIOS AND THE
AIRLINE INDUSTRY

The airline industry is characlerized by rapid changes. There is no guarantee that a
healthy airline today will remain healthy or indeed still be flying, in a lew years.

The scenarios listed below give a brief glirr^ of the airline industry In different
time periods.

SCENARI01 (1955 -1975)

The Dawn of the Jet Age

The De Havittand Comet was the first jet airplane to appear on commercial routes
in 1952. In 1955, the Boeing 707and the McDonnell Douglas DC-8 made almost
simultaneous debuts. Their engines were mounted in pods beneadi the wings.
Shortly afterwards the French Caravette set a new fashion by mounting engines on
the sides of the rear fuselage, which reduced the noise in the cabin.

The Comet had its share of problems. In 1954, it nas grounded after two serious
accidents were found to have be&i caused by metal fatigue. A modified Comet was
pul back into service in 1958 and ftew the world's first Iransallantic airline service.

The release of the B7Q7 and DC-8 marked the beginnings of a new era in plane
travel Originally, jet aircraft were accepted with reluctance; they were not thought
to be economically leasible. However, maintenance and operating problems were
shown to be kwer than expected, andM transport soon created a new travel
industry. Thereafter airlines became a dominant form of world trar^rortation.

In the late 1960's and early 1970's new aircraft production split in two directions.
Some manufacturers continued to build larger and larger aircraft. Stretched
versions of the DC-8 and Boeing 727 (longer with more seats) began to appear.
Then came the wide-bodies. such as the Boeing 747, in 1968 Capable ol carrying
up to 500passengers, the Boeing 747radically altered the international travel
industry. Its length (230 feet), weight (380 tons), and the number of passengers it
could carry caused radical changes to international airports. More importantfy,
though, mth the 87474 became possible to fly tor^-haul international routes.

At the same time some aircraft manufacturers concentrated on improving speed.
The British-French Concorde and the Soviet Tupolev started developing planes
capable ol supersonic speeds. It was hoped that the era ot the SST (Super Sonic
Transport) would mean that passengers could have breakfast in Hew York and
lunch three hours later in Tokyo.

SCENARIO 2 (1970-1990)

Air Travel Takes Off — Crisis and New Challenge

The 1970's began with the airline industry growing at a brisk pace. Then dark
shadows began to af^r. In 1973. the fourth war in the Middle East broke out
and the oil producing Arab nations staded restricting oil expods. The price of oil
skyrocketed overnight and the first oil crisis occurred. Since the price of tuei is a
major expense lor airlines, they suffered a dwble whammy as passenger loads
and revenues fell while fuel expenses rose to ever mming highs.

By the mid-70’s the aftereffects of the crisis began to fade. However. American
airlines began to struggle with a new problem. Convinc&f that the cause of
stagflation was over-regulation, the U S. government decided to abolish nfyny of
the regul^ions that controlled major industries. The airline industry, considered
an industry in which over-regulation contributed to a loss olconp^ition. became
a target of (^regulation.

The Airline Deregulation Act of 1976 was signed by then President Cader. Under
the old system the Civil Aeronautic Board had to give approval for fare increases
of as little as 5%. Not only did the airlines not need to get afff}roal for fare
adjustment, in addition U.S. airlines no longer had to get permission before they
could begin flying to new destinations. It was hoped that this would lower fares
and inaease competition. At the same time the system of charter carriers,
domestic carriers, and inter-r^ional carriers was also Mished.

In fact, con^lition increased dramatically. Small airlines (juickly shot into the
large regions and began to mate trouble for the larger airlines, fare wars broke
out on major routes flown by many airlines and some airlines began to fly for as
tifite as hall of the previous fares.

As lor the supersonic transportation that held so much promise in the lO&fs, the
British/French consodium's Concorde SSTmade its maiden flight in January of
1976. The gradual expansion of its routes was curtailed by the second oil crisis in
1978. By 1979, the high price of fuel had proved fatal.

The Soviet-made SST, Ihe Tu-144, was so much like the Concorde SST that it H'a5
called the ‘‘Concorde-ski ” II had its maiden flight in November 1374. But il
crashed in June 1978 and Has withdrawn Irom service. The U.S. was also involved
in SST research, but funding was cul off in 1971 due to environmental concerns.
Some of Ihe great dreams of the 60's did come true, but others ended with a
disappointing tali of the cudain.

SCENARIO 3 (1985 - 2005)

Airlines Cover the Globe — End of One Era,

Prelude to Another

In April of 1985 Pan American World Airlines, the world's premier airline, sold its
Pacific routes to United A irlines lor $750million. Along mth those routes ms
sold all of the ground tacilities. the airplanes that flew ttiose routes, and Ihe rights
to hire rm2.500employees who mM in the Pacific. Pan Am, loved by
millions, ended ils tong history in the Pacific and images of Pan Am's Hying
clippers plying the waters of exotic islands in Ihe Pacific became ancient history.
Hoping to restructure itself into profitability. Pan Am continued to sell srelected
routes. By December 1991 it was obvious to everpne in the industry that though
it still flew into South and Central Merica, Pan Am was in free tall and its end
was in sight.

Deregulation, which started in the 1970's gave birth to many new airlines, but it
Has the death toll for many more. Sme airlines were successful in providing a
new kind of sendee. One of these airlines ms lounM in 1987as Ihe airline for
"the rich and lamous". It was called MGM Grand Air.

M6M Grand Air was a small airline that only Hew between Ihe East coast and Ihe
West coast of Ihe US. It ms a very different airline. The interior of a standard
B727was totally 0led and in place of 110 economy^seats were just 3? first class
seats. Passengers mre to fly in ullimale luxury. The interior ms desired to be
roomy, and to not feel like an airplane all. The seats were covered in leather:
passengers could relax at the full bar. Today, this "luxurious. Hying living room"
could be Ihe shape of things to come. MGM Grand Air has recently converted its
(^ration to charter-only s/ate.

SCENARIO 4 (2000 - 2020)

Supersonic Travel — Limitless Possibilities

The 21sl century is just around the corner and promises endless possibilities. The
Hying public witi be abie to find a much improved flying environment While the
SST planes oi the 60‘s were a disappointment their future may be bright. In the
near future we wilt see a resurgence in supersonic travel. In this new era we it be
able to have "Breakfast in New York and Lunch in Tokyo. ” However, be advised.
This means that the CEO's ol the world’s airlines are going to have to be on their
toes, because the competition Is going to be fierce.
