You've got the tower, Controller. Busy ATC is a warm-hearted air-traffic time-management game. Tap a plane, pick its runway, park it at the gate, and send it off again. Then keep that up for a whole parade of planes at once. LAND • LOAD • LAUNCH • 84 hand-tuned shifts across 8 airports, from sleepy Stevens Point Municipal to Aurora Polar International • Real weather works against you: snow buries runways, sea fog rolls in, desert dust gusts rattle your traffic. Plan around it, or buy the gear that beats it. • Build out every airport in the shop: gates, runways, hold over spaces, a paint shop, fuel trucks, arrivals boards and more • Color-match planes to gates, chain landing combos, chase Early departures • Earn Bronze, Silver and Gold Wings on every shift. Sweep Gold and be named Controller of the Year. • Game Center: chase 11 achievements and climb the Career Score leaderboard • Premium, not pushy: no ads, no energy timers, no consumables. Three airports are free, and two one-time purchases unlock the rest of the career. Night shifts under runway lights. Helicopters that land right at the gate. Supersonic darts with passengers who wait for no one. VIP stands, commendations, and a promotion certificate with your name on it. Clear every plane before time runs out and keep the parade moving.
