Hi, I've noticed recently that most of my flights leaving at 00:00 have been making a loss despite being 80-90% full. I then switched these flights with more profitable ones at about midday. These profitable flights have now appeared to make a loss. Is there something i'm missing?

Passengers prefer to depart and arrive during daytime. (between 06:00 and 23:00-00:00)
Furthermore, business passengers prefer to depart and arrive during rush hour: 06:00-09:00 or 17:00-19:00.
While tourists prefer to depart and arrive round noon until the evening.
It's not that they won't fly at all outside these hours, they still prefer daytime flights on a different hour then I mentioned above a night time departure and arrival.
Keep in mind that you have to look at the local times too. The game doesn't show you these yet though.

Are you saying your flights departing at noon are also making a loss?
Does this flight arrive during day time?
What route is this, and what airliner are you using?

It was from Brunei to Yangon in an E175-E2. I understand i may be getting a lower amount of passengers. However, this flight is 75% full and is making a loss. I'm not sure why since 75% should make me profit, yet a 40% full flight to Sydney rakes in a nice profit.
