Operator License pricing & rules. Price = your rank's hourly rate × a fleet multiplier: A320 ×3 h · A330 ×5 h · B787 / B777 ×7 h · A330F / B777F ×9 h. So the same licence costs more as you are promoted (e.g. A320: Cadet $60, FO-NB $210, Captain-NB $540, Chief Pilot $1,500). A licence needs the matching type rating first, and only covers the sub-types listed on it (a Saudia A320 licence covers its A320 / A321 / A321neo / A321XLR; it never unlocks another airline's jets).

Flight Packages. Every domestic package is free and permanent. International packages are seasonal: they expire on the next 1 April or 1 October boundary no matter when you buy, a mid-season purchase is prorated (you pay for the days left in the season, floored at 10% of full price), and a package is ~15% cheaper than buying its airports one by one. Prices are set automatically from route distance and drift over time — the figures above were current at the last refresh, treat them as a guide.

Single-Destination passes. ~85 individual airport unlocks (all airlines, from FO Narrowbody), roughly $60–$590, same seasonal 1 Apr / 1 Oct expiry and proration as packages but no bundle discount. Buying a pass for a flight's departure or arrival airport clears that flight even without the whole regional package — useful when you only want one or two routes in a region.

Freighter note. Cargo routes open at Captain Widebody with no extra type rating — A330F (A330-300P2F) on the A330 rating and B777F flies on the B777 rating; you only add the Saudia Cargo operator licence (rank rate × 9 h).

Welcome bonus. New pilots receive $1,600 plus 3× the hourly rate of their starting rank — a fresh Cadet gets about $1,660. Pilots who transfer IVAO hours at registration start at a higher rank and get a proportionally larger bonus.
