I had been on SU4 beta, testing aircraft in career mode but after mistakenly transitioning to the live version where I had spent all my money on 737’s I didn’t have enough money to test the new airbus aircraft. I would really like to hear about the passive income per hour of these planes, and if they have made more expensive planes more economical. Thank you!
Good question. What were they making in SU4
I’ve seen screenshots of the passive payout where the A330 get over $1mio per hour

Slightly more than the 737 then. The Transall made 5,242,630 for 7 hours in cargo and the Longitude made 2,196,060 for 7 hrs. In VIP, 737 made 5,115,110 for same in airliner
You have to have a serious amount of cr if you own an airbus on passive. I can’t imagine what the maintenance will be
I’ve grinded loads of 737 flights months ago, got 4 of them, kept grinding 6 hour flights earning $20mio a hit + the passive. Saved up 400mio and just bought the A310.
Been hit with a few 40mio repair bills on the 737s they are a killer, just gotta keep grinding long flights and ensure the balance is enough for when the 747 drops. I’m constantly checking the engines on the 737s now they cost 8mio each to replace/maintain, which is cheaper than the full 40mio bill, still need to figure out what’s going on. When I’m flying the engines don’t have that wear n tear so my crew are behaving badly lol

It’s annoying passive income is not proportional to the price of the aircraft, the number of cessnas you will get for a 737 will earn much more, but maintaining them will be nearly impossible, right now it’s hard to progress to having a fleet of jets because the maintenance costs are also inflated significantly

I have been complaining about this for ages. It never seems to make a difference and it can’t be raised as a bug. So in the next dev screening we all need to ask for this to be fairer.
It’s actually even worse now, hard to cover the repair bills from drunken crew. You need to flight very long, short hops just don’t generate enough money
But this is nothing compared to a friend I know. ■■■■ he is crazy, he gets over 1 billion passive income. He is like 3-4 hours busy just to maintain his aircraft., like ■■■■ ..
Last time I spent over 1 billion to buy all these new Airbus planes, so trying to get back to 5+ billion, so when the super heavy planes come out, I can buy one of them all, and even multiple Beluga’s and 747 cargo.
