New Problem with small airport...

[JohnA45]

I am having an issue with the small airport not having any flights. My current city has over 100K people and everything is connected and it's a vanilla airport...I don't get why there are no flights? I thought maybe it was a mod or something messing it up...but I use very few and when I pull up my other cities the small airports have no flights either...the International Airport seems to be working fine. I didn't pay it any mind in those other cities because I had the International Airport and the small, so I assumed they stopped using the other, but in the current city the small is the only airport and no one is using it? Is anyone else having this problem? It all seemed to work fine before the recent update...usually both airports showed flights and when I had both, the small one usually had fewer, but always had some flights. Now there are no flights at all even if it's the only airport.

Something to do with the Trump ban?

I have the same problem. One week I get 250 passengers served and the next week 0 ? I have not used the International airport yet and my population is 112k.

IDK what is going on, but I just used the International airport and things are fine. 760 passengers so far. I deleted the small one. Also, I played an old city that I had "turned off" at the menu and the small airport is doing fine in that city...so I'm not sure what happened. It can't be there are no flights drawn out because the Large airport works just fine in the same area. Weird..

As far as I understood planes are taking the shortes route.
So having multiple airports might not be useful.
I also never seen both lanes on international airport used.
Have not played too many different cities tho...

You can have one of each and they run very effectively. (it seems to work best if they are on opposite sides of the city though) The one in question here was in a scenario and it was the only airport..it was a small one. I never figured out for sure what was wrong, but my airports are working fine again. I think it was a asset...I got rid of the 3 new ones I'd recently downloaded and the problem went away. Thank you for your input though. Keep on playing!

I have run into that as well. I ended up placing the airport on the opposite side of my city and it worked, but not where I wanted originally.

I have also found that if the airport is too far away from the population no one will go to it. To attract people I setup a small low density commercial area that populates with small stores and with RICO setup some shopping malls. Then farther out I then setup some housing and thin out the population until it reaches the main city. This is somewhat how Denver or even Boston is setup and probably other areas are.
