## What is The Airline Chief?

Build your own airline – from one small plane to a big world network.

HOW IT WORKS
You start with one plane and a loan. Pick your home airport and open your first routes. Each game week you make your plans and tap "Next week". Then you see how many passengers flew with you and how much money you made. Then you plan the next week.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Fly to more than 1,100 real airports
• Buy or lease planes, new or used
• Set up the seats in your planes: choose economy, business and first class with the seat map
• Plan your flights for every day of the week
• Set your ticket prices, food on board and lounges
• Keep the bank, the board and your staff happy

EDITOR
Change the planes the way you like: give them your own names and photos, or add new aircraft models and makers.

RIVALS
Up to 14 other airlines want your passengers. They copy good routes and start price wars. Team up with partners in alliances and codeshares.

NEW IN 1.2
• Campaign with 13 missions
• 2 players on one phone
• Online with friends: up to 6 players with a game code

A small team helps you and explains everything step by step.

In English, German and French. Free to play with ads.
