10/10 Game

Lowkey, this game is the best game I’ve played on mobile that’s about aviation, and I hope to see this game get more fame, though I hope to see McDonell Douglas in the game, but overall, the game is awesome :D

Aircraft

The games great but something’s missing… I know it’s a lot of work but it would be greatly appreciated by the whole community if you added more aircraft variants and aircraft themself like the 727,a300,a310 and variants of existing aircraft like 747-300,737-400,a340-500 etc

Nobbutabairn

A good idea with real data about planes and airports and a well designed interface but insufficiently thought through. Players can purchase indefinite resources and populate the skies with unrealistic swarms of planes, any number of planes can land and take off at the same time, including in the middle of the night, and customers are assumed to be as willing to depart or arrive at 1 or 2 a.m. as during waking hours. Feels as if it was hurried out without real thought.

Punished

No need to spend money here, if you do you are punished. Not sure what the Dev is doing here, you’re not competing against anyone but yourself . Need to spend but if you do you then are punished for it. No playability beyond a week or two. No insensitive to use more efficient aircraft and forced login every 36 hrs (reported as a data harvest)Putative cost index that does not reward long time players.

It’s getting boring

I’ve been playing this game for nearly over a year and have slowly started to become bored due to the lack of content being added. They only update the game to fix bugs, no new aircraft are being added. I hope that the devs will add older aircraft such as older models of current aircraft in the game or just other older aircraft such as the IL-96 and other things like that

Add an option to play as guest.

I haven’t yet played this game because it forces me to add a google account via email and then phone number. And my problem with that is that I don’t really have a phone number, or I do and I don’t know it. So please add the ability to play as a guest, or add some other method of tying the progress to one device. That way I can play without having to spend hours convincing my parents to figure out what my phone number is just for one app. The game looks fun though so I’m giving it 5 stars because it looks fun and I’m sure I’m missing out on

Really good game

I love this game and I do have a couple suggestions. 1. Is there way we can know if we have been approved for alliance if we are not on certain social media? 2. Is there also away for us to see our airline at the terminal, gates? I know this might be a tall ask.

No challenge

You get a lot of control over your airline and routes but there is no competition so you are almost guaranteed to make a profit on a route, which I don’t find very realistic.

Great game, but unopen

I definitely enjoy playing this game. It’s easy to play and interesting than others. In this game, even lots of ways are very detailed, but I still think it’s not very real. Because lots of players have same logo, same name of the airlines even same call sign. These lead to this game like a single-player game. Hope can develop some ways to make this game more open, and I hope in a city, can be more passenger flow and lots of different airlines can cooperate or compete with others to get profit, then can control the size of airlines

Promising simulator

Fun to play, surprisingly in-depth, and easy enough to understand as a complete novice. It does a great job of introducing airline management without feeling overwhelming. I’d love to see the game expand further in future updates, perhaps into other areas of commercial aviation or even private aviation. If licensing allowed, it would also be fantastic to have the option to take control of existing airlines, with different starting difficulties depending on the airline’s size. This could even work well as an alternative tutorial mode, helping new players learn the mechanics while managing a recognisable airline. Overall, a very enjoyable simulator with plenty of potential for future growth.

Fantastic modern take on AM4 with huge potential!

I’ve been playing this game for the last couple of weeks and absolutely love it. It’s a great modern take on AM4! The graphics are clean, the map is super crisp, and flight scheduling is effortless. I especially love how easy it is to design custom logos and liveries—it adds an awesome personal touch. A few quick suggestions to make it even better: Cabin Details: It would be awesome to customize in-flight entertainment (Wi-Fi, magazines, screen sizes, reading lights) to boost revenue on specific routes. Aircraft Specs: Please add flight speed and fuel/CO2 consumption to differentiate aircraft models. Right now, there’s no real economic incentive to upgrade to a 777X over a 777-300ER or 747-400. Map Feature: Showing current speed when tapping an aircraft on the map would be a super nice touch. Overall, great game! Excited to see where the devs take this.

As good as it is…

Found this game when looking for an alternative for airline manager 2026, and for a time I was having fun, but the lack of any classic planes really hinders creativity if your wanting an airline set in the past. Older 737 models from the 300-500 would be a good start to this as well as the 600 to compete the next generation set. As well as some older aircraft from macdonnald dugless that are still in service like the MD80 series or DC-10 and MD-11. Or even airliners from Russia, or the almighty concord, there’s so many ways to make it better that they refuse to add in.

Not bad

I’ve been looking for a different airline management game for awhile this one is definitely pleasing. Imma give it five stars. Love the livery customization it’s not like any other I’ve seen. I’d love to see some more features in the future. Better hub management like slots maybe or expansions, more aircraft options maybe some older airliners that we even still see today, just overall some more management features the game feels to easy. Only issue I’ve seen is when having multiple airlines and switching back and forth it affects your total airlines balance. Not cool. Other than that loving the game.

Weird calculation of flight profit and operating costs

I have 3 airlines running and it all appears to have the same problem, all of my airlines with mainly a wide body fleet (namely B777 and A350) has a really high operating cost. All 3 of my airlines have over 60% of revenue gone because of the operating cost, coincidentally it only happened once my revenue surpassed 1 million. Before that, my operating cost was only around 20-22% of my revenue, one of my airline now has a revenue of close to 3.6 million has more than 60% gone due to operating costs, the same thing happened to both of my other airlines. But I have seen much lower operating cost in other accounts even with higher revenue than mine. I would love to know if it’s a general problem or is my game account bugged! Or is there a way to lower the operating cost?

A great sand box to play in. However, there is no way to tell what the operational efficiency of planes are, and this information is key for optimizing routes. Also, it doesn’t define what “Route development” is.

What’s missing

This game has nearly everything wich is good but it’s missing cargo aircraft helicopters and more airliners like MD11,q400, 727, tri star and etc It’s also abit too easy so you should add maintance for aircrafts should cot money Incidents that also make you lose money like broken windows, toilets broken, terroist attack plane crashes so you lose aircraft when they crash emergency landings you need pay money for aircraft . Also missing employees you have to hire a group of flight attendants for each plane and pilots you spend money on traing for each aircraft the more money you pay for traing is how safe the flights will be cheapest you can spen is 500k also how to restart my whole account
