Players find the grinding in the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly in the early stages where progress feels slow and unfulfilling. The management elements are criticized for being overly complicated and lacking in enjoyment, detracting from the overall experience of running an airline.
“There's a lot of grinding in this early game, and there are times where everything is just running smooth, but you need to wait until you get a few more million dollars.”
“Somehow, the creators have managed to strip the fun aspects out of managing an airline, while leaving in nearly all of the tedious ones.”
“Aside from buying individual aircraft, which this game makes tedious, complicated, and unclear.”

The gameplay has been criticized for its lack of polish and the absence of a tutorial to guide players through the mechanics, which can lead to confusion. However, some users appreciate the streamlined experience, noting that it removes tedious management elements that previously detracted from enjoyment. Overall, there is a desire for a commitment to ongoing improvements in gameplay.

“The gameplay is nearly identical, except it is unburdened by tedious management aspects that currently lead nowhere and add nothing.”
“There is no tutorial that walks you through the game mechanics to teach you.”

Reviewers suggest that increasing the variety of cities available for players to base their airline operations would enhance replayability by providing more strategic options and demand dynamics, making each playthrough feel more distinct and engaging.
“The ability to choose different cities to base your airline out of adds a layer of strategy and makes each playthrough feel unique.”
“Each game session offers new challenges and opportunities, ensuring that no two experiences are the same.”
“The variety of scenarios and choices available keeps me coming back for more, as I always want to try different strategies.”
“The lack of diverse scenarios makes it hard to find reasons to replay the game after finishing it once.”
“Once you've completed the main objectives, there isn't much incentive to start over or try different strategies.”
“The game feels repetitive after a few playthroughs, as the core mechanics don't change significantly.”
