Routlas puts the world's scheduled airline network on one interactive map. Tap any airport to see exactly where it flies, who flies there, and how to search fares. If you've ever pulled up an airline route map online to figure out which carriers connect two cities — what's nonstop, what connects, and which alliance covers the trip — Routlas is that, redesigned as a touch-first iPhone app, with airport, airline, and alliance data bundled offline. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Explore the world's airline network on an interactive map. Hub, major, and regional airports are visually tiered so the busiest hubs stand out at a glance. - Tap any airport to see every outbound route drawn as an animated geodesic arc, alongside a profile of its destinations, airlines, countries served, and longest flight. - Browse every scheduled flight from any airport in a sortable, searchable list. Each row shows distance, estimated flight time, and the airlines that operate the route as a wrap of code pills. - Open Route Detail for any origin → destination pair to see operating carriers, alliance badges, distance, and estimated flight time — then launch a flight search site such as Google Flights or Seats.aero with one tap. - Filter by airline, alliance, country, aircraft type, or flight type. Combine clauses for compound queries — for example, Star Alliance widebodies between Europe and Asia. Airports without matching routes dim away so the filtered network stands out. - Toggle the entire Star Alliance, Oneworld, or SkyTeam network in a single tap to see one alliance's full global footprint. - Turn on Route Mode to overlay the world's busiest routes as a global network of arcs and spot the highest-traffic corridors at a glance. - Switch between a flat map and a satellite globe for a realistic sense of geography. - Search any airport by name, city, or IATA code, or browse a Popular Airports list of the world's top hubs. - On supported devices, describe a filter in plain English ("widebodies between Europe and Asia operated by Star Alliance") and the app uses on-device Apple Intelligence to build the filter clauses for you. MADE FOR - Aviation enthusiasts who like to know which airline flies what - Frequent flyers planning award redemptions or alliance routings - Travel planners scoping connections, layovers, and direct flights - Anyone curious about how the world is connected by air A note: Routlas is for discovery and planning. We don't sell tickets — when you find a route you like, launch a flight search site straight from the app to search and book. Route data is updated periodically; check with airlines for current schedules.
