Overview

Features & Capabilities

Build an airline from a single plane into a global empire, across seventy years of real aviation history. No ads. No premium currency. No pay-to-win. Just a genuinely deep airline sim, built to be fair.

Start in any era from 1950 to 2020. Fly Constellations and DC-3s in the golden age, ride the first jets into the jet age, or command modern widebodies. Aircraft, engines, airports, and market demand are all true to the year you choose. Every era plays differently.

COMPETE AGAINST REAL AIRLINES The part no other airline game does. Your rivals are real-world carriers flying their actual historical fleets and route networks, decade by decade. Take on the airlines that ruled each era, or switch competition off and build at your own pace.

BUILD A GLOBAL NETWORK Choose a hub from over 2,000 real airports. Analyze demand, set frequencies, and time your banks so connecting passengers flow through your hub and multiply revenue on every route. Watch profit and loss draw itself across the world map.

FLY 100+ AUTHENTIC AIRLINERS Every aircraft is modeled on the real thing: specs, engines, range, capacity, and running costs. Order new and wait for delivery, lease to grow fast, or hunt for deals on the second-hand market. Then design each cabin seat by seat, from first class and lounges to high-density economy.

RUN THE WHOLE OPERATION Set fares, manage cash and loans, and track revenue and cost down to a single route. Keep the fleet airworthy through MRO providers and in-house hangars. Earn from belly cargo, or run dedicated freighters on the busiest lanes. Advance a week or a whole month at a time and watch a regional carrier become a global airline.

FAIR BY DESIGN Free for your first 5 in-game years or 25 aircraft. One simple purchase unlocks unlimited play, forever. No ads, no timers, no energy, no premium currency.

Your airline. Your era. Your empire. Ready for takeoff?

24/08/26 Updated: The latest updates addressed several issues related to routes. Previously, I had to purchase numerous planes to accommodate high demand on certain routes, which made them profitable. However, the game has become unplayable due to its excessive lag when accessing the Route tab to view route details, edit schedules, or reassign planes. The lag is so severe that I can’t even change ticket pricing. Despite having the latest iPhone 17 Pro Max, which should provide sufficient power, the game drains my battery and generates excessive heat. Attempting to delete and reset my game data didn’t resolve the problem. This game has really good in-depth execution, and I love how you can play in different eras of aviation! There are a few bugs, and hopefully, the devs will address them soon. It crashes when I try to edit the schedule in the route tab. Sometimes when you add the airplanes into a group later, it forces you to retrofit; although, I know 100% sure they are all the same since I ordered them at the same time, but they have different delivery times. Will we get new airplanes up to date? Like the 359ULR, 350-1000ULR? New updated payload for the 787 lines?

It is overall a good game but would like a few tweaks. Like for example there is currently no features to the business aspect such as lounges, frequent flyer program, credit cards, etc. Also would be nice to have better scheduling or a better assistant at scheduling routes. Also please make it easier to assign group of planes to different airports. Also please make sure to add more airports to the game if possible. Also would be cool if there was more airlines in the game and even fictional airlines and alliances. Would also be nice to make or join alliances. Also maybe better options and details for the catering and cabin layout sections. Overall the game is good but would be great if it added more real world content or experiences that airlines usually have to the game. Would recommend the game for sure!
