Shannon Airport opened the world's first duty-free shop in 1947 because transatlantic planes could not reach Europe without refuelling in Ireland. In SkyChart, a 1938 fleet needs two stops to fly from New York to London. store.steampowered.com/app/4558690/... #avgeek

Route of the week: Perth to London, 14,479 km. Nobody flew it nonstop until 2018. In SkyChart the Bering 787-9 (14,140 km range) comes up 339 km short, so the single-leg version waits for a Skybus A350-900. #avgeek store.steampowered.com/app/4558690/...

In August 1932 Amelia Earhart flew Los Angeles to Newark nonstop, 19 hours. Airlines couldn't sell that seat until 1953. In SkyChart's 1932 your longest-range plane reaches 1,300 km, so LA to New York is four hops. #avgeek store.steampowered.com/app/4558690/...

A Discord report from a player surfaced a good one this week: before 1946, nearly every airport in SkyChart had one gate slot, so a single AI rival could lock you out of Berlin or Moscow. Major cities now get two. #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/4558690/...

In SkyChart's 1970 the Bering 747 lands with 400 seats, up from a 707's 160. More seats per flight meant cheaper seats, and long-haul travel became affordable. At $15M, it only pays on dense routes you can fill. #avgeek store.steampowered.com/app/4558690/...
