Reviews
- Highly detailed and deep airline management gameplay including aircraft management, cabin setup, pricing, staff training, loyalty programs, and cargo contracts.
- Developer is very responsive to community feedback and delivers frequent updates and bug fixes, improving the game rapidly.
- Fills a unique niche in the airline tycoon and transport simulation genre, with potential to become the best title in its category.
- Interface and UI are clunky, unpolished, and sometimes confusing with multiple steps needed for simple tasks; some info is hidden behind several menus.
- Game currently lacks some realistic airline management features such as detailed cost tracking, employee and crew management, gate bidding, and flexible routing options.
- Contains bugs, balance issues, and missing features typical of early access including problematic staff pictures early on, route profitability issues, and unrealistic operational constraints.
