Airlines are ranked by market capitalisation — what this world's stock market currently thinks each carrier is worth, smoothed week to week so one strong result cannot vault a name up the table. Routes counts city pairs flown, not departures; fleet is every airframe on the books, orders included; cash is the bank balance this week. The table refreshes on every tick: at this world's pace of 1 week / 1 hr, a new game week lands whether or not anyone is watching.
Headlines
The moves big enough to change the table: fleet orders of five or more airframes, routes opened or dropped in bulk, gates won at auction or forfeited, alliances forming and breaking, airlines going under, and the world events that hit everyone's demand at once.

World rules
- Founding capital: $10.0M for a new airline.
- Pace: 1 week / 1 hr — the server flies a game week on that clock whether or not anyone is logged in.
- Gate scarcity: on — airports have finite gates, sold at auction and tradeable between airlines.
- New World Restrictions: on — only older single-deck types can be leased, and the lease order book is capped against the operating fleet.
- Rival one-stops: on — rivals sell connections over their hubs in every market.
