How it works

Get from signup to flying in a few steps. The strategic depth comes once you are airborne.

1. Create an account

Registration is open.

2. Found your airline

Name your carrier and begin with starter capital. You share the same passenger pool and airport system as every other player in the world.

3. Build fleet and product

Acquire aircraft from OEM or used markets, set cabin layouts, and define the product you will sell. Older aircraft are cheaper; newer aircraft fly farther and cost differently to operate.

4. Launch routes and compete

Choose origins and destinations, set fares and frequencies, and assign aircraft. Passengers compare your offer with rivals and choose what fits them — your network either wins boardings or loses them.

5. Grow under pressure

Expand carefully: cash, culture, on-time performance, airports, and alliances all shape long-run value. The clock keeps ticking, so decisions compound over time.

The economy is dynamic — fuel, demand, interest rates, and world events shift as you play, so expect change and adapt.
