Tarmac Tycoon

Now boarding: 105 airports, 48 home hubs, and three rivals who want you grounded. Build your airline, design your liveries, and top the leaderboard. Free to play.

Build a global airline from a single regional jet — and a lot of nerve.

Tarmac Tycoon is a hand-drawn, character-driven airline business game. Stroll your side-on terminal as the CEO, step into each storefront to talk to your cast, bid on routes, run flights, juggle fuel and loans, and scheme against three rival airlines — then climb the leaderboard. It's the classic tycoon spirit, modernized for quick daily sessions and built for your phone.

WHAT YOU'LL DO • Explore a living airport — six rooms, each with its own character: Hedda in the office, Mr. Sterling at the bank, Colette at the agency, Rex Quill in the press room, Big Tomas on the tarmac, and Vera Valeska at the Sky Bar. • Open routes across 105 real-world airports and 48 startable home hubs — from New York and London to Tokyo, Dubai, and Sydney. • Run a real economy: per-seat fares, plane upkeep, loans and credit, payroll, and fuel as a live commodity you can stockpile or hedge. • Build and paint your fleet — design custom liveries in the livery studio. • Outscheme your rivals — plant a press story, buy a truce, or start a feud. • Take charter jobs for a quick payday (some more above-board than others). • Unwind in the arcade — six pick-up-and-play minigames. • Hunt hidden easter-egg chains for collectible rewards. • Post your score and climb the leaderboard.

PLAY YOUR WAY Free to play, start to finish. No energy timers and no pay-to-win — money only ever buys cosmetics and removes ads, never an advantage. The leaderboard stays fair.

A LOVE LETTER TO THE GENRE Bright 1990s cartoon art, an authored comedic cast, and the deeply satisfying grind of turning one little plane into an empire.

Found your airline. Run the place. Rule the skies.
