Read full description

Sort the bags. Beat the clock. Build your airport. You're a baggage handler with five chutes and a departures board that waits for nobody. HOW IT WORKS Tap a bag, pick a chute, and commit. The first bag locks that chute to its flight until all five are loaded. Every flight departs on schedule — loaded or not — and one missed bag ends your shift. The whole schedule is visible before the clock starts. Study it. Decide which flights to commit to and in what order. Dig into the wrong stack at the wrong moment and you'll strand a bag under three others with nowhere to put it. CONNECTIONS Some bags fly twice. Load a transfer bag now and it comes back later, needing a different flight. You'll have to keep a chute free for a bag that isn't on the board yet. THE HOLDING BELT Three slots for bags you can't place yet. It's a safety net and a gamble — park too much and you'll run out of room to think. 240 LEVELS, SIX TERMINALS From a small regional wing to a global skyport. Every level is a verified puzzle with a solution, not a reflex test. Boss levels close out each terminal with everything that terminal taught you. BUILD YOUR AIRPORT Spend what you earn on check-in halls, jet bridges, control towers and baggage systems. Each terminal grows into a bigger, busier airport around you. Three stars pay double, so playing well is how you build faster. FEATURES - 240 levels across six terminals - Choose your chute — no auto-sorting - Fixed departure schedules you can plan against - Transfer bags that return for a second flight - Five boosters: extra chute, priority handling, hold departures, undo, X-ray - Terminal upgrades that visibly change your airport - Colourblind-friendly: every flight is a destination code, not just a colour - Plays offline No two-minute wait timers on your progress. No level you can't beat without paying.
