One small airplane. One route. $120,000 in the bank... That's how every aviation empire starts. Idle Flight Manager is a live-world airline management game where you draw routes on a real map, buy real aircraft, and watch your fleet grow from a single regional prop plane into a global operation of Boeing 747s and Airbus A380s. Earn revenue around the clock, even while you're offline. What you do: Tap airports to design multi-stop routes. Assign a plane and it begins flying the circuit immediately: carrying passengers, landing, turning around, and flying again. The map fills with glowing route lines as your airline expands. Revenue ticks up with every completed leg. Key features: - Live world map: real-time plane icons move along your routes on a global map that grows as you unlock regions. - 50+ real aircraft across 10 tiers. From ATR turboprops and Embraer regional jets to Boeing 777s, Airbus A380s, and exotic premium aircrafts. - 9 unlockable world regions. Expand from US domestic routes to international routes: Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. - Make money while you sleep: flights complete and income accumulates offline; return to a fully loaded airline fleet! - Random events: crew strikes, tourism booms, fuel price drops, and government subsidies keep operations unpredictable - Reward drones: spot drone icons flying across the map and tap to collect bonus cash or miles! - Auto Flight Manager: assigns planes, creates routes, and re-optimizes your entire network automatically. - Daily used-plane market, 8 rotating listings at steep discounts or spot-buy a rival's plane directly off the live map. Progression and Fleet Management: - Level up by completing route circuits and unlock the next tier of aircraft. Manage plane condition carefully. Let it fall below 50% and revenue drops noticeably. Let it fall below 30% and costs stack heavily. - Set pricing per route to match your strategy. Economy fills every seat at lower fares. Luxury charges almost double per passenger but risks flying half-empty. - Build hub airports where multiple routes converge to earn a network revenue bonus. Take bank loans to fund bold expansion. Spend miles to unlock countries, each opening new airports and longer, more profitable routes. The aircraft catalog: - Start with regional turboprops on short domestic hops. Work through narrow-bodies like the Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320neo. Progress into wide-bodies such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A330neo. - Finally unlock the legendary flagships: the 747-8, the A380plus, and rare premium aircraft for the most ambitious operators. Collect exclusive variants like the Stealth 787, the Golden A380, the Concorde Neo, and the Zero-G Orbiter. Your airline, always working: Over 150 NPC airlines populate the skies with ambient traffic. Speed boosts let you accelerate to 2x or 10x speed. Every 7 in-game days, a weekly report delivers claimable cash, miles, and route credits. Your fleet never stops, with or without you. Start your first flight. The world map is waiting.
