Our take on Airport Simulator 2019
The defining detail is the shift from doing airport work personally to training staff for selected duties, while still retaining direct control of every vehicle.
What is Airport Simulator 2019?
Manage a large international airport while coordinating personnel, vehicles, facilities, runways, gates, and aircraft from multiple airlines.
At first, the manager handles tasks directly, including refueling, jetway placement, baggage transport, security, buses, and firefighting. Staff can later be trained to take over selected duties. Experience expands the airport with additional runways, gates, and buildings, while increasingly large aircraft arrive. Vehicles can be driven directly, and the simulation includes vehicle damage, staff injuries, and sick leave. Assistants and an AI-controlled system support airport operations as the site grows in scale and complexity.
