Expand your airline in Airplane Lander! In Airplane Lander, you connect routes between cities to expand your reach. Start out with local routes in California and build up to being a global carrier. To connect two airports, draw a line between them with your finger. Don't worry if you're not a perfect artist—your planes will always take a direct route. Routes are only one-way. So drag the reverse route if you want planes to go back and forth. Each airport has a destination limit. This is the number of routes that can start from that airport. There is no limit on inbound routes, so you can direct as many as you like to a single airport. As your planes land, you'll earn cash. Spend money on increasing your destination limit, raising prices, and upgrading your fleet to travel further and faster. You can also watch ads to optimize your routes or get an earnings boost—but it's not a requirement. The full game is accessible for free. Live your airline dream right now in Airplane Lander!
