Build The GateĪ Standby Gate is just the same as any other gate in your airport except that it will have fewer, if any, flights scheduled. It’s not an expensive research option and only takes 12 hours to complete so you can start using Standby Gates quite early in the development of your airport if you want to get as many flight contracts as possible. This is in the ‘Operations’ section and you must already have a COO employed and in an office. Research The Operationīefore you can build or assign a Standby Gate the facility must be researched. One way of avoiding these sort of crushes at the gate is to make one (or more gates) available as a ‘standby’ so that if a gate is still in use when the next flight arrives that incoming aircraft can be diverted to the ‘standby’ gate where the incoming passengers can disembark, those departing can board and the flight can leave again without incurring a delay penalty. But if there is any delay with the preceding flight then it can cause the subsequent flights to run late causing problems such as dissatisfaction and lose of the ‘perfect ops’ bonus. This is good because it means your staff, the crew, and passengers have a little more time before the aircraft has to depart. Incoming flights usually arrive early, often quite a bit earlier than you have scheduled for. If you have a very busy airport and your flight schedule is very tightly packed you run the risk of a flight boarding at one gate not departing before the next flight using that gate arrives.
