Our take on Airport Master
The pressure point is the airport economy: poor financial management can end in bankruptcy and a restart. Players who are comfortable scheduling flights but do not want to manage fuel purchasing, staffing costs, and airport development may hit that wall as those expenses accumulate.

Take the role of a newly appointed airport manager and oversee a regional airport’s daily operations.
The game covers airline relations, aircraft ground services, passenger terminals, flight schedules, staffing and salaries, and airport resources. Arrange fuel purchases through refinery contracts, then supply aircraft using fuel trucks and a centralized pipeline. Upgrade facilities, navigation aids, buildings, businesses, and vehicles as the airport grows. Weather can disrupt flight schedules, while airport finances can lead to bankruptcy and a restart.
