Hangar

Strong with a coordinated crew or bonus week, demanding without either.

Setup, step by step

  1. 1Buy a hangar at LSIA if you want short city runs, or Fort Zancudo if you fly a lot of military aircraft.
  2. 2Register as CEO or VIP and start air freight cargo from the hangar laptop.
  3. 3Source crates in threes once you can handle the harder missions — the per-crate value is the same but the trips are fewer.
  4. 4Watch the sell mission types; some require several aircraft and are painful solo.
  5. 5Sell in an Invite Only session and keep the load under the multi-vehicle threshold if you are alone.
