Your rules. Start with a single runway and build it into a hub that never sleeps.\n\nAirport Simulator: Plane City puts you in the manager's seat. Every takeoff, every gate, every passenger is your call. Join over 15 million players worldwide!\n\nBUILD IT YOUR WAY\n\n- Design terminals, runways, gates and cafés from the ground up. Decorate inside and out, place custom buildables, and shape a layout that runs clean and looks like nobody else's.\n\nRUN IT AROUND THE CLOCK\n\n- Plan flight schedules, coordinate plane rotations and assign aircraft to gates. Watch the peaks build across your 24-hour day, open extra stands and keep every departure on time. Short-haul, long-haul, everything connected.\n\nKEEP PASSENGERS MOVING\n\n- Speed up check-in, widen your security lanes, cut the queues. Add the services travelers actually want and design a journey that flows from arrival to takeoff. Happier passengers, busier airport.\n\nGROW YOUR FLEET\n\n- Collect detailed 3D aircraft and give them custom liveries. Assign them to routes, fulfil contracts and unlock bigger, more advanced planes as your network expands. Then watch them taxi, rotate and land.\n\nPARTNER WITH AIRLINES\n\n- Negotiate deals, welcome new carriers and grow your roster, then fly for them. Progress through the Wings of Trust Pass, a relationship-powered system that turns loyalty into exclusive unlocks. In addition, every flight you operate for an airline earns XP on its own Airline Pass, and each tier unlocks new rewards. The more you fly for a carrier, the more it gives back.\n\nEARN YOUR WAY TO MADEIRA\n\n- Madeira (FNC) is the one every aviation fan knows, where the runway meets the cliffs and the ocean, one of the most spectacular approaches in the world. It unlocks last, and only once you have proved yourself. Start with the quiet hub of Faro (FAO), grow through Beauvais (BVA) and take on FNC.\n\nENJOY AND WATCH YOUR PLANES\n\n- This is more than a management game. Aircraft rolling up to the stand, ground crews at work, terminals filling, a departure lifting off the runway as the next one lines up. Plan your expansion, then sit back and let it run.\n\nABOUT US\n\n- We are Playrion, a French studio in Paris, making free-to-play mobile games born out of a real obsession with aviation. Our office is full of plane models, including a Concorde built out of LEGO.\n\nIf you love planes, airports, or just watching a busy terminal come alive : welcome aboard.\n\nJoin the community: https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/games/airport-simulator/about","facts":{"developer_id":460015248,"developer_url":"https://airportsimulator.first-class.io","first_released":"2022-10-12T07:00:00Z","support_url":"https://www.playrion.com/contact-us/","privacy_url":"https://airportsimulator.first-class.io/privacy-policy.php","website_url":"https://airportsimulator.first-class.io/","app_version":"2.01.1610","release_notes":"Update 2.01.1600\nBuilder V1.5 brings easier building placement and new tools to decorate your terminal.
