UPDATE 1.5

I love this new update finally I can plan everything in cargo properly can’t wait

Great potential

but need more consistency especially in travel demands and also bug fixes

In-depth Airline Management Game

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?

Response from developer

Hey!! Thank you for the feedback, so useful! I’ll look into the crashes and retrofit issue. On the airliners, these are already in the game (A350-100 Sunrise not yet). They are available as MTOW improvements! So an A350-900 in 2026 should have a longer range option than in 2017!

Update

W UPDATE CANT WAIT FOR MORE

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words and feedback. I really like the idea and will add it to the roadmap!
