A Starpole flight prepares for pushback
Starpole Airlines is a rare airline in Airport Hero Osaka-KIX.
Description
Starpole Airlines is the third rarest airline in the series (after Air Triangle and Air Taiwan), only appearing in three Stages. As far as we are aware, the Starpole does not represent any Real-Airlines. They almost never show up in camera stages.
Starpole only goes to Singapore from Kansai. They only use the Airbus A330 on flights. They will show up in Kansai's north terminal, which places it conveniently in between both runways. It can take off and land at either one, making it easier to handle. Because of how little they show up, players have been known to direct them on normally inconvenient routes as a way to keep them away from filling up the practical ones. This is a fairly common strategy when dealing with rare airlines.
SPL does have one issue, and it's that they have a reputation for showing up during busy times, usually when the north terminal is near full, or in one stage completely full (the plane had to wait for another one to leave.). In this situation, it actually becomes easier to have them go the long way to get to the terminal to allow it to clear up.
Holding position does work, but this isn't recommended for long periods of time as it will block the taxiway and create choke points. It is better to keep flights on the move as much as possible.
