Discover AirTycoon, a business simulation video game series where you manage an airline and strive to build the largest and most profitable through strategic decisions on planes, routes, and marketing.
AirTycoon is a series of business simulation video games developed and published by Fendus (formerly Friendly Pixels) where players take the role of CEO to manage a commercial airline. The core goal is to grow your small airline into the biggest and most profitable through various business decisions related to purchasing aircraft, opening flight routes, marketing campaigns, ticket pricing, and more.
The first game, AirTycoon, was released in 2013 for mobile platforms and allows players to start up and manage a small regional airline focused on domestic routes within a single country. AirTycoon 5, the latest installment released in 2022, features over 300 airplanes to choose from across 50 real-world airlines and the ability to fly international long-haul flights. The series also includes AirTycoon 3 (2015) and AirTycoon 4 (2018), each iterating on new airline management mechanics and global route expansion.
Key gameplay elements focus heavily on intelligent business simulation and economic strategy. Players need to make smart decisions around purchasing different airplanes that vary in seating capacity, fuel efficiency, range, etc. Routes must be optimized to meet passenger demand levels and flight scheduling balanced for profitability. Marketing campaigns can target different customer segments to boost sales. Dynamic economic factors also influence the challenges of running a successful airline business.
With its modern graphics and strategic depth across advertising, operations, HR, and finance, the AirTycoon series provides an immersive and realistic airline management simulation for Windows PC and mobile devices.
