Build an airline from a single plane into a global empire, across seventy years of real aviation history. No ads. No premium currency. No pay-to-win. Just a genuinely deep airline sim, built to be fair. Start in any era from 1950 to 2020. Fly Constellations and DC-3s in the golden age, ride the first jets into the jet age, or command modern widebodies. Aircraft, engines, airports, and market demand are all true to the year you choose. Every era plays differently. COMPETE AGAINST REAL AIRLINES The part no other airline game does. Your rivals are real-world carriers flying their actual historical fleets and route networks, decade by decade. Take on the airlines that ruled each era, or switch competition off and build at your own pace. BUILD A GLOBAL NETWORK Choose a hub from over 2,000 real airports. Analyze demand, set frequencies, and time your banks so connecting passengers flow through your hub and multiply revenue on every route. Watch profit and loss draw itself across the world map. FLY 100+ AUTHENTIC AIRLINERS Every aircraft is modeled on the real thing: specs, engines, range, capacity, and running costs. Order new and wait for delivery, lease to grow fast, or hunt for deals on the second-hand market. Then design each cabin seat by seat, from first class and lounges to high-density economy. RUN THE WHOLE OPERATION Set fares, manage cash and loans, and track revenue and cost down to a single route. Keep the fleet airworthy through MRO providers and in-house hangars. Earn from belly cargo, or run dedicated freighters on the busiest lanes. Advance a week or a whole month at a time and watch a regional carrier become a global airline. FAIR BY DESIGN Free for your first 5 in-game years or 25 aircraft. One simple purchase unlocks unlimited play, forever. No ads, no timers, no energy, no premium currency. Your airline. Your era. Your empire. Ready for takeoff?
Disease Dynamics
Read full descriptionHide full description
Disease Dynamics is a single-player disease strategy game where every outbreak is a tactical race against global containment. Choose a pathogen, select a starting region, evolve transmission routes and symptoms, and react as countries close borders, launch quarantines, and accelerate the cure. The simulation spans 12 world regions with climate, density, healthcare, and wealth affecting spread. Four game modes change the rules: Standard Outbreak, Necroa Outbreak, Neurax Worm, and Simian Uprising. Earn research points, unlock traits, chase achievements, and use the Epidemiology Lab to learn real concepts like R0, herd immunity, NPIs, transmission routes, vaccines, and antimicrobial resistance.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Airline Executive at weekly against Disease Dynamics's fortnightly. Disease Dynamics's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
