## What is Airplane Lander?

Expand your airline in Airplane Lander!

In Airplane Lander, you connect routes between cities to expand your reach. Start out with local routes in California and build up to being a global carrier.

To connect two airports, draw a line between them with your finger. Don't worry if you're not a perfect artist—your planes will always take a direct route.

Routes are only one-way. So drag the reverse route if you want planes to go back and forth.

Each airport has a destination limit. This is the number of routes that can start from that airport. There is no limit on inbound routes, so you can direct as many as you like to a single airport.

As your planes land, you'll earn cash. Spend money on increasing your destination limit, raising prices, and upgrading your fleet to travel further and faster.

You can also watch ads to optimize your routes or get an earnings boost—but it's not a requirement. The full game is accessible for free.

Live your airline dream right now in Airplane Lander!

### 5/5 — So good but 1 problem

*2025-11-12, version 3.7*

Can you please add offline earnings of more money pop up when out of the game because I can’t get enough money to complete the USA because Virginia cost 1.37 billion but I only had 58 million so can you please add offline earnings in the game and if you added it thank you so much 🩷

When I went in the quests it said these tasks 
Buy new airplane from hangar
Buy new airplane from hangar

### 3/5 — Fun and Great Potential

*2023-09-07, version 3.7*

I really enjoy this game a lot, however many of the cities are not geographically correct- Henderson, Nevada and Portland, Oregon are not in the right place (Several other cities as well)
I know it's only a game, but it would be nice to see the exact location pf these cities- otherwise, great game!!

### 2/5 — PLEASE UPDATE!!!!!!!!!

*2023-05-24, version 3.7*

The last update removed the Maine airport(s) so I can no longer advance in the game.

### 1/5 — Ad Trap

*2023-05-05, version 3.7*

Way, way too many ads. You can barely play without seeing 20 ads.

### 1/5 — It a game, just AD player

*2023-04-27, version 3.7*

It a game, just AD player

### 2/5 — Instructions, anyone?

*2023-04-27, version 3.7*

This game looked like it could be fun, but after adding a few routes and suffering through a few ads, I didn’t see the point of continuing. This adds to a growing trend of games with no instructions. Developers need to realize that they have two types of customers:  those who play tons of phone games, for which the rules may be familiar and obvious, and those fairly new to the field, for which some instructions would be welcome. Can it be that hard to write a few sentences that can be offered or accessed from within the game?
