You manage an airline, choosing hubs and building a network of passenger and cargo routes between airports around the world. The game offers Easy and Realism modes, with runway length among the considerations in Realism.
Buy and expand your fleet, select cabin seating configurations, and oversee flights on an interactive map. Manage maintenance, staff, marketing, fuel, and CO₂ quotas while balancing operating costs against route income.
As the airline grows, you can expand your aircraft and airport operations, join alliances, and invest in other airlines. Flights take place in real time, and aircraft need to be dispatched for further departures after landing.
Players who enjoy the game often praise planning routes, building a fleet, and gradually growing an airline, especially when they are interested in aviation or prefer a low-maintenance management game. Some appreciate its long-term goals and strategic decisions. Other reviews find the real-time pace and repeated flight dispatches slow or repetitive, and criticize the depth of the management systems and the pressure to spend.
In this multiplayer aviation simulation game you have the possibility to become bigger than real businesses such as United Airlines, Emirates, British Airways, Lufthansa, American Airlines and Ryanair.
You can even travel while being idle on your couch to a big airport in an amazing city such as New York, Paris, Berlin, Los Angeles, London and Dallas - you don’t even have to fly yourself!
Choose between 2 game modes: EASY or REALISM. Go the easy way to lower prices and increase profits or challenge yourself with realism where you have to consider the smallest things like the length of airport runways.
Take the fastest route possible to transport your cargo or passengers. Not by land or sea. But by air. Not by rental car, train, bus or ship. But by aircraft. Buy your fleet of flights and dominate the routes in the skies!
