The gameplay is generally well-received for its unique concept, addictive nature, and good graphics, with many players enjoying the controls and overall design. However, several users express frustration over limited content, as most airports require real currency to unlock, leading to a short-lived experience. Additionally, some report technical issues such as lag and crashes that detract from the enjoyment.
“Wow, what a nice game! Graphics, gameplay, weather are very good, and controls are very nice and easy. This game is very enjoyable and easy to play.”
“Addictive gameplay, even on Kingston, the free-to-play airport.”

“Controls are easy enough, graphics are good, but there is only one airport available unless you pay, and mid-air crashes that you cannot even spot spoil gameplay.”
