Emergencies

Emergencies were introduced in Alpha 36, along with more functional fences, ground and air animals, bird strike prevention systems (BSPSs), hangars, new emergency related structures, and new emergency related Vehicles (WIP). Emergencies will occur occasionally at your airport, the quantity and frequency of which depends on your game difficulty setting. These require the player to divert their attention and address the relevant emergency, sometimes requiring quick actions from the player. Should the player fail properly manage and handle the situation within a given time, the player's airport will take a penalty in the form of a security rating dip, and they will be fined of a few thousand dollars. The severity of this penalty will vary depending on one's performance and the severity of the emergency. The player will be notified about their performance and subsequent penalties (if any) via a report through the in-game Email.

The Basics

Emergencies will only start occurring if:

• The game has been running for at least a few in-game hours

• The commercial license has been researched

Some emergencies need handling while others just require you to wait a certain amount of time.

Types of emergencies

Below is a list of all the possible emergencies:

Emergency Index	Emergency Type	Emergency Name	Description	Requirements to Handle	Player Action Required/Notes
1	Active	Engine Failure	An aircraft of some weight class and airline is having an engine failure emergency. They need to land and have fire truck assistance. They then need an open stand to release passengers and baggage, followed by a hanger to get repairs.	- Open stand of correct size in next 1/2 hour - An available fire truck - An available hangar to repair in	The player must schedule the flight into an open stand of the correct size, the rest is handled automatically.
2	Active	Equipment Failure	An aircraft of some weight class and airline is having an equipment failure emergency. They just need to land to let off passengers and baggage, and then go to a hangar.	- Open stand of correct size in next 1/2 hour - An available hangar to repair in	The player must schedule the flight into an open stand of the correct size, the rest is handled automatically.
3	Active	Weather Warning	An aircraft of some weight class and airline is having a weather warning emergency. They just need to land to let off passengers and baggage, and then take off.	- Open stand of correct size in next 1/2 hour	The player must schedule the flight into an open stand of the correct size, the rest is handled automatically.
4	Active	Fuel Warning	An aircraft of some weight class and airline is having a fuel warning emergency. They just need to land to let off passengers and baggage, get refueled, and then take off.	- Open stand of correct size in next 1/2 hour	The player must schedule the flight into an open stand of the correct size, the rest is handled automatically.
5	Active	Medical Emergency	An aircraft of some weight class and airline is having a medical emergency. They just need to land to let off passengers and baggage, get ambulance attention, and then take off.	- Open stand of correct size in next 1/2 hour - An available ambulance	The player must schedule the flight into an open stand of the correct size, the rest is handled automatically.
		Medical Emergency	A medical plane from the national air service requires to land at the airport within the next 48 hours. They are requesting medical and turnaround service	- An available ambulance on site - An open commercial gate for 2 hours	Allocate a viable time slot within the next 48 hours of occurrence for the flight. Ensure that there are available ramp agents and an ambulance on site. The game will do the necessary actions as if it were a regular commercial flight. The plane will depart the airport as soon as turnaround and medical service is completed.
		Plane Malfunction (On ground)	A plane being serviced has experienced a malfunction and is not deemed air worthy. The aircraft needs to be repaired.	- An available hangar of the relevant aircraft size	An available hanger is required in order to conduct repairs. The game will direct the aircraft to move to an available hangar, and repair will commence immediately.
		Plane Malfunction (In air)	A plane flying in air has experienced a malfunction and needs to land for repairs.
		Bird Strike	A plane is calling a mayday due to the aircraft been hit and damaged by a birdstrike. It is requesting an immediate urgent landing for damage and repairs. A fine of $25,000 is applicable if you refuse or unable to resolve the emergency, so I recommend researching Emergency Services after commerical license.	- Aircarft Hanger - A Firetruck - Accesible service road/s from Emergency Services Buildings to runway/s	An available aircraft hanger is required in order for the aircraft to be repaird post the firetruck putting out the fire. Once the fire engine puts the fireout on the runway, the aircraft will automatically go to the closest and free aircraft hanger for repairs.
		Power Surge	A power surge has caused all IT equipment to malfunction. All IT equipment (boarding stands, check-in counters, etc.) will have their durability set to 0 and require repairs.	- A lot of service technicians	Service technicians will be required to fix all IT equipment. This would inadvertently cause much flight disruption especially if one does not have enough service technicians to fix the equipment in a timely manner.
		Global Pandemic	A global pandemic has occurred, and there will be a sharp decline in passenger numbers.
		Economic Crisis	The stock market has crashed, all flights and passengers will decrease.
		Fuel Crisis	The price of the fuel will REALLY go up.
		Engine Fire	A plane has a fire on an engine and needs to land very soon.	-Available fire trucks and ambulances, -Hangar of the right size to fix the engine.	You need to have an accesible route from the fire department to the runway. Make sure you have the right cars. After the fire is put out, the plane will make its way to a hangar.
		Security Problems	A plane has a security crisis going on and needs to land and have a gate.	-Available gate -Available airport police car	You need to have a connection of road so the police car can reach the gate.
