Upland has announced that players who own terminals in Upland are now able to earn through profit sharing of the tickets sold from that terminal. Read the official announcement here, and this page will explain how the profit sharing is calculated.
Players will receive 20% of the transportation sales prices from the respective terminal. This is paid out in UPX on a monthly basis during the first week of the next month. Ticket sales are paid to the community UPX pool, so these earnings paid to the terminal owners will come from the community pool. Learn more about the community and Upland UPX pools.
Lets say that in the month of July, 1,000,000 UPX worth of airplane tickets were purchased from Terminal 3. This revenue comes from players who sent themselves to one of the terminal 3 properties and subsequently purchased a ticket to take a flight to a different domestic city. 20% of the 1,000,000 UPX, or 200,000 UPX is distributed to all of the players who own a terminal that is part of terminal 3. This will be paid out during the first week of August.
The UPX is not distributed evenly between the owners of the 9 different properties, but based on the relative land size in UP2. For example, if the 9 properties in terminal 3 have a total size of 900 UP2, and the property I own in terminal 3 is 130 UP2 I will receive 14.1% (130/900) of the 200,000 UPX. This means that I would receive 28,889 UPX from the community pool in the first week of August for the ticket sales of July.
