Welcome to Airport Manager, the strategy game where you run the complete ground operations of an airport. Guide the planes from the taxiway to the gate, coordinate every service and send them safely back into the air. Every airport is a living puzzle: things get tight on the runways, the turnaround time ticks away at the gate, and nothing must collide at the intersections. Plan smart, keep track of everything and make sure no plane gets stuck. HOW TO PLAY: • Tap the arrow on a plane or draw a line straight to the destination to choose the route. • At intersections you decide which way a plane goes. Two planes in the same spot means a crash. • Complete the full service chain at the gate before it heads back to the runway. SERVICE AT THE GATE: • Refuel: Lead the fuel truck to the plane. Without a full tank there is no takeoff clearance. • Baggage: Bring the right cart to the right flight. The wrong flight makes it explode! • Passengers: The jet bridge moves in, passengers board and disembark. • De-icing: Iced-up wings must be de-iced before takeoff. • First Class: Private jets need the limousine service from the VIP lounge. • Wind: Planes take off into the wind. A tailwind leads to a crash. KEY FEATURES: • A campaign around the globe: from the small island runway and the arctic outpost to the busy major hub. • Growing challenge: more gates, more traffic, scarcer resources and new mechanics level by level. • Rush Hour mode: survive ever denser traffic and chase new high scores. • Earn Aviation Tags and invest them in helpful boosts. • 40 languages with automatic detection of the device language. • Optimized for smartphones and tablets, portrait and landscape. Buckle up, take over the tower and become an airport pro! Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
