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.

Running a production line is the easy part. Managing an unpredictable workforce... that's the real challenge! You run a contract packaging plant. The lines, the automation, the capital — all yours to command. But the one input that decides whether you ship or sink is the one you control least: your crew. Co-Pack is a daily-staffing sim about running a real workforce, one shift at a time. Every morning is a decision. At each standup the board wipes clean and you re-staff from whoever actually showed up. A line only produces when Induct, Pack, and Stage are all covered. Fill the slots, hit Start Shift, and watch the cartons roll — or scramble when half your bench no-shows. The cycle you'll spend the game mastering: • A deep bench covers bad mornings — but anyone you don't place goes home unpaid and sours • Push output with overtime and morale drops; buy it back with meals and raises and cash drops • Too lean and one absence stalls a line; too fat and you bleed money and goodwill Build something that lasts. • Sign contracts with real deadlines — beat them or take a reputation hit • Promote leads, convert temps to permanent staff, and upgrade automation • Open new lines for true parallel production • Hire a floor supervisor so shifts keep running while you're away No pressure, no catch. • Free to play • No ads • No in-app purchases • Offline progress — come back to a "while you were away" report Clock in, boss. The floor is yours.
