Good, but can be better
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!

Cargo Route losses
Love the game, but is there no way to code a flight specifically for cargo? I set up cargo flights and I’m taking losses as much as $20M per weekly sim and that should not be the case especially if the airport being served has excellent cargo demand. Is there anyway to achieve this?
Good progress
I enjoy the game and its in-depth nature. However, aspects such as passenger to freight conversion seemingly not working (despite having eligible aircraft) and the freight market aspect not being 100% complete. Overall, a great game and look forward to seeing what happens with it
Pretty good
I like the game, it takes a little while to learn it, but fun. I can’t work out how to change ticket prices
Highly potential
I really love the game! But there are a lot of improvements that should be made for me to buy the full game:
1. Better AI competitors. A lot of the competitors have many aircrafts but little to no routes.
2. Ability to differentiate the demand by adjusting ticket price.
3. I love the depth and complexity of the scheduling, especially as it allows for connection flights. But perhaps the process to monitor flight schedule could be easier.
4. More spontaneity. For now, I could play the game just by simulating every week without doing anything. There’s a lack of existential threat such as aforementioned competitors and events that bring depth to the strategy.
5. Ability to manage the staffs. Perhaps it would be more fun if the players could train and manage the labour.

Very good game
I like this game very much, I even brought the paid version because of how much I like it however I believe it would be better with some of the ideas I’m gonna say
1. Ability to join alliances
Now I don’t know if it’s possible since I haven’t found a way to but if it isn’t a function I would like it to be added
2. Bigger impact on events
I felt that events such as the 2008 market crash, Covid 19, Gulf War and the events in 2001 had no impact on my airline business. I would like for there to be an actual impact of these events on my airlines and others
3. Airline Competitors Leaderboard
While there is a competition tab which shows all my airlines competitors, I feel like it could have more to it.
4. Ability to become flag carriers of nations
It would be great if we could represent a nation and even the ability to take over from another airline.
5. Ability to merge airlines
I believe that the ability to merge airlines would make the game even greater because I think it would be cool to buy out other airlines that may be struggling.
6. More frequent incidents
While it is bad for these to happen, I think that it’s unrealistic that in practically all of my runs, I’ve never experienced an incident or fatal accident.
7. Airplane customisation and 3d view
Lastly, Another cool addition could be the ability to customise our airline liveries and the ability for a 3d view so we can see our airplanes at airports and stuff
In conclusion, I believe the game is very good and I enjoy playing it but I think that there can be even more to it. Thank you

Airline Frustration
All the potential but bugged. I schedule flights Boston to La Guardia on a DC-3 with 30 min turnaround, I double check to see all flight times work with no conflicts and hit schedule flights and it tells me there’s a scheduling error which I know there isn’t I give up, the tutorial doesn’t work either.

Hello! Thank you for the feedback. This problem should be fixed in version 1.28 which releases in the next days. Please reach out if it does not!
Too complicated planing flights
It’s just too complicated when your trying to plan flights but apart from that the game is good
Has potential
The game has great potential! I would like to start off with saying there’s a bug that causes the game to crash when opening a saved game (Atleast for me). I absolutely love the map feature and maintence feature. That’s a cool addition because you can retrofit aircraft and add winglets / sharklets/ skimature winglets. For the dev thank youuuuuu for using irl aircraft and pictures of them and the name ! That makes a huge difference because it adds that whole new level of detail to the game. A few things I’d like to see is weather conditions and crew time outs or reroutes, when it comes to the inflight environment. Next I’d like to see kiosk options or ticket counter or both depending on what kind of carrier you wanna be. I want the game to give a feeling of control from check in to landing in ex- bag fees (how many bags allowed per pax) with a fee or not. On the map feature though can we see the aircraft in flight? That would be cool just so we can see our network in action. Could we also get relationship festures with manufacturers? If we pre order a aircraft can we get a discount as the launch customer but it can come with a risk of delays and set backs if we become a launch customer.

Love this game
I’m obsessed with this game this is the best $5 I have ever spent. However the only critique I have is that we should be able to buy competitor airlines and it should be a never ending game !
Amazing game
This is without a doubt the best airline management game I have ever played the only thing I have to say is there should be more British plane added such as VC 10 and vicount and the ai for the competitors should be improved other than that brilliant game highly recommend
Potential
This game is really frustrating I see the potential but it is impossible to kickstart I encountered lots of bugs but even then I don’t understand at all on what the issue is a better tutorial would help a lot it’s pretty useless.
Can’t get anything to work
Honestly was super excited to play this game. Even brought the expansion so I got the full game but nothing is working. I can’t get a flight to run. If you play the tutorial it just wouldn’t let me skip to delivery and made me bankrupt instead. Now I have got round that nothing seems to be working
Amazing Game! Lagging a lot
I know have about 512 aircraft with another 600 on order but now my phone is heating up, game won’t start up and is not loading
Response from developer
Hey Patel! Demand currently grows based on the year (2020 has higher demand than 1970) reflecting reality as closely as I managed. I like the idea of a "unlimited" demand mode on top of the three levels that are already in the game (low, medium, high). I'll work on it :) The iPad navigation issue will be fixed in 1.25 shortly.
Over-hated
This game/sim is really in depth and complicated and I love that. While there are a few bugs, over all it’s really fun. Also it’s nice that you don’t have to pay a subscription for extra stuff and just a one time fee of $5. Again, overall, would
recommend if you like figuring stuff out.

MRO’s
Love the new update…..
Would love if we could have subsidiaries use the parent airline’s MRO facilities that way they can have it at a cheaper price compared to AI…..ps,why do I have a lot of AI airlines with planes but no routes???

Thank you for the kind words and feedback. I really like the idea and will add it to the roadmap!
W game very good for real avgeeks
All of these losers in the reviews saying it isn’t good don’t know what their talking about
Good (but needs to change pricing model)
We should be able to have full control over the price of our plane tickets. Cause as of now it’s capped at a very unrealistic price. First class seat should not be 203$. Development fix this issue please.
Complicated
I find this game too complicated. I’m enthusiastic about aviation, but I’d recommend XLR Games’ The Airline Simulator over this one. You can’t even buy aircraft used. It’s so confusing. There’s no way to reconfigure your planes, it just doesn’t make sense at all.
Waste of $5
Huge waste of $5. You can’t even schedule individual aircraft, you have to schedule from your bulk aircraft groups. And half the time it glitches anyways. For example, it wouldn’t even let me schedule Chicago-LAX round trip twice in one day because it said the aircraft wasn’t available. I even tried to just order 1 aircraft to see if it was trying to use the second aircraft for it, and it wouldn’t work, even when I made the second round trip fit with several hours of a turnaround.
