Timetable?

EHM-1199 Philip:
I feel a bit of a cheek asking this question but here goes anyway.

My local airport is Plymouth, UK (EGHD). I live literally about a mile from the place and have taken half a dozen flying lessons from the airport.
Consequently I have decent additional scenery for the area and enjoy flying in and out of the airport.
The only EHM flights to/from EGHD are flights 1000 and 1001 which go to EGLL and back.
In real life, Air Wales and more recently Air South West operate flights from EGHD to destinations that include London Gatwick, Jersey, Gurensey, Newquay, Bristol, Manchester, Dublin and Amsterdam Schipol.
In the coming months this is going to expand and include a range of other short range continental destinations including Paris.
I know we already have a huge database of flights but wonder if EHM might consider competing for some of the customers flying these flights to and from Plymouth. Obviously, as a local pilot I would choose to regularly fly these routes.

It would be nice if everyone's local airport could have flights to all over the world on the timetable. My local airport is EGBB. In reality you can fly to New York, Dubai, India and of course to everywhere in Europe. yet Euroharmony only has 4 destinations, 3 of which aren't actually serviced in reality.

The thing you have to bear in mind is if an airline like euroharmony really existed, covering the whole of Europe, would there be lots of destinations from every airport, probably not. An airline like euroharmony would do mainly international flights from only the largest of airports. Regional flights from one small airport to another would be left to the regional airlines. That is why when the new timetable was created it was set up so that all the smaller airports, like Plymouth, are linked to their nearest hub, like Heathrow and then flights to everywhere else can be flown from the hub. So you can really fly to wherever you want from Plymouth, but you have to go via EGLL first.

I'm sure thats not the kind of answer you are looking for, but that's my opinion anyway. :)

EHM-1152 Thomas:
I know how you feel plymyphil.  My local airport (EGAC) has only I think one flight in the EHM database.
I was going to ask for more flights to be added there but when I thought about it, if more flights were added because I asked then more would have to be added for you and all the other people that would want them at their local airports.
Before long there would be just to many flights.

EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
Yeah i agree........too many flights is definitely not a good thing........

I know how you feel too........my local airport is WSSS, an international airport which can link virtually any major airport in the world but in EuroHarmony it only goes to Australia or EGLL......and maybe 1 or 2 more airports in the other divisions

EHM-1343 Jonathan:
My local Airport Newcastle egnt has a few destinations but for some reason there is a class 5 flight to Manchester, why is this
