- “There are some bugs and glitches here and there, but not enough to majorly affect the gameplay.”
- “But this game is worth it if you have enough patience and don't mind slightly simplistic gameplay.”
- “Initially I was disappointed with the limited gameplay 'move truck A to this place, in this time', 'move truck B to this place, in this time' etc., but I stuck with it in the hope it got better as the number of planes you handle ramps up.”
- “Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is more of a 'soggy hot dog water' type of deal, instead of a 'warm beans on a cold winter evening', if you catch my drift.”
- “The overall level of detail and gameplay is so poor, it seems like no one bothered to finish the game.”
- “The gameplay is doing nothing more than driving really slow vehicles to designated areas while waiting for a timer to count down with no fast forward button so that you can drive more vehicles in circles while being interrupted by bugs.”

The game's story is criticized for being misleading, as players report that it only features a single mission focused on upgrading airport gates, contrary to claims of "countless missions and tasks." Many users express frustration over the lack of meaningful objectives and the repetitive nature of gameplay, leading to a sense of boredom and disappointment. Overall, the narrative aspect is deemed virtually nonexistent, with players feeling misled by promotional descriptions.
- “Given that I enjoy flight simulators a lot, I figured giving the airport management side of the story a try.”
- “The game gives you one mission, which is to upgrade all the equipment at all eight gates to level 3 using money you earn from servicing planes.”
- “Countless missions and tasks that the player has to fulfill in order to guarantee a successful airport.”
- “There are no missions, no objectives, and really no point in finishing the game.”
- “The description for this product is also misleading - super jumbos, there are none; coordinating air traffic controllers and technical staff, not in the game; organizing perfect catering, nothing beyond driving the vehicle from point A to point B; detailed and comprehensive simulation of events at an international airport, only if you think the only thing that happens is people driving vehicles; many management and business options for the expansion of terminals and extension of runways, not in the game; and countless missions and tasks the player has to fulfill, only one 'mission' which happens to be the objective of the game (to upgrade all automation tasks) and then the game ends.”
- “The description in the game is just a lie: there are no missions, freeplay or whatsoever, only 1 single mission, that is completely ridiculous and boring.”

- “Amazing music.”
- “The graphics are rather good and the music is excellent, though very repetitive since it's only 1 or 2 tracks.”
