AirportSim is an Advanced Airport Ground Handling Simulator with true-to-life visuals and operations, licensed planes and vehicles, real airports and live weather conditions. Enjoy the many tasks alone or with friends, making this experience unforgettable.
Developed by MS GAMES, MK STUDIOS · Published by Iceberg Interactive
AirportSim puts you in the role of airport ground crew handling arriving and departing aircraft. Your tasks include guiding planes with a follow-me vehicle, marshalling and securing them, refuelling, loading baggage, connecting ground power, operating jetways, catering, and pushback.
You drive specialist airport vehicles and carry out steps in an aircraft turnaround. The game features Vagar, Keflavik, Warsaw Chopin, and Key West airports, with Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. Weather can be selected or linked to real-time conditions through the METAR system.
Choose scenarios with sequenced flights and tasks, challenges that rank scores on a leaderboard, free play, or co-op with friends. Steam Workshop support includes custom aircraft paint schemes and gameplay scenarios.
Positive reviewers value AirportSim’s unusual focus on hands-on airport ground work, especially its multi-step aircraft servicing and the perspective it offers on ramp crew duties. Some find the procedures engaging or realistic, and several say playing with friends makes the work more enjoyable. These positives are often tempered by reports of bugs that interrupt tasks, limited aircraft variety, and stalled development.
Enjoy many of the accurate in-game tasks developed around documented knowledge and interviews with real-world airport ground handling staff:

When you operate in the aviation industry, the weather is a key influencer. To create realism we’ve implemented a detailed weather system allowing for real-time weather mapped in conjunction with the METAR system. Of course, you can alternatively choose to select the weather type if you wish to do so.
Within AirportSim, you’ll be provided with multiple game modes:
Scenario: Gameplay planned based on stacked flight plans, predefined weather conditions and tasks you'll have to complete in sequence.
Challenge: Feel like you can handle any situation at the airport? Test your skills by placing as high as possible on the scoreboard!
Cooperation: Together you can do more, and have more fun - invite your friends to join you on an adventure at one of the busy airports.
Free Play: No rules here, explore airports at your own speed and do as you please. You can watch the planes come and go or get involved, you decide!
Lacking a bit of customization, like for example your own airline? Don’t worry, we got you covered. AirportSim will launch with Steam Workshop integration, allowing for the creation of your own aircraft paint skins and gameplay scenarios, or for downloading the creations of others!
