AeroEmpire: Airline Manager

Start with one country and one aircraft. Finish with a network that wraps the planet.

AeroEmpire is an airline management tycoon game.

BUY THE MAP, CITY BY CITY 180 countries. 733 cities. Your first country is free; every one after that costs more than the last, so expansion is a decision rather than a formality. Each purchase comes with its two largest cities — unlock the rest as your balance grows.

Fourteen aircraft, from a 20-seat turboprop to a 1,250-seat superjumbo. Modify your planes to have more seating or extend its possible distance.

AIRPORTS FILL UP Every airport you own gathers waiting passengers. Seven tiers, from Regional to World Gateway, 100 to 2,000 passengers. Neglect a big-city airport and it gridlocks — and that ends the run. Upgrade it, or route more traffic through it. Both work.

AIRPLANES AGE Flight hours accumulate and maintenance climbs with them. Sell an aircraft before it reaches critical condition, or replace it and absorb the cost. Very rarely, one doesn't come home.

THE WORLD PUSHES BACK Ten events interrupt the quiet: fuel spikes and fuel drops, worker strikes, airport inspections, tax audits, mechanical fines, tourism booms, demand surges and government subsidies. Some you ride out. Some you plan around.

TWO WAYS TO PLAY Time Trial — buy a new country every two minutes or the run ends. A full arc in a few minutes. Classic — no timer, no deadline. Build for as long as you like.

WHAT'S FREE AND WHAT ISN'T Time Trial is free to play, with autosave and one manual save slot, and needs a connection.

A single one-time purchase unlocks Classic mode, offline play and all 10 save slots. No subscription — you buy it once.
