## What is Airport Madness World Edition Free?

MADE BY REAL WORLD AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS

Do you have what it takes to be an air traffic controller at a busy international airport? In this game you will work at eight of the world's busiest airports. It is your job is to keep aircraft from crashing into each other, while avoiding delays.

### 1/5 — Don’t judge a book by its cover

*2026-07-29*

The description and the cover looked pleasing, so I decided to download, I load the game up and what the hell! It’s nothing like all the airport madness versions and you can hardly even see any of the planes! The setup is ugly and unrealistic, and there’s only one free airport. Hello? I think it’s meant to be free. 3/5 rating is lucky, should be 1.

### 3/5 — Nice game but

*2025-12-16*

What exactly do you mean by free edition?

### 5/5 — gg

*2025-11-03*

yhhgg

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-10-12*

I just downloaded and tried it on iPhone 15 pro, iOS 26 and the app doesn’t even work. Opens but doesn’t open the maps and plane start flying on the menu screen instead

### 4/5 — Classic but slightly annoyed

*2025-08-31*

The advertising implies that one can play JFK without paying. This is not true. Only one map doesn’t require a $ to unlock. (Vancouver).
Not to mention the pilot ai is a little bit lacking in intelligence for my liking. I’d have liked there to be an easy way to make a proper traffic pattern. Left pattern on 27L right pattern on 27R and to just lock off 13/31 as most games were lost because a random plane decided to just land on the not in use runway. 
You’d get 5 stars if you made the area around the airport larger and the ai capable of forming and following a traffic pattern.

### 1/5 — Stuck on choose an airport

*2024-12-03*

nothing happens

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-03-21*

Just bad in general

### 1/5 — Doesn’t start

*2023-01-16*

I get the opening menus then it never brings up the game after I h it “Play”.  

Delete!!!

### 1/5 — Boring game

*2022-12-31*

The game overall is super boring and should be more realistic and less times that set you up to fail

### 1/5 — 😡😡😡😡I’m not happy

*2022-01-08*

dis not working and rubbish 
Do not buy dis waste of space 
Ok kids and mans and girls
