Players find the grinding in the early game to be tedious and frustrating, as it often interrupts smooth gameplay with the need to accumulate large amounts of in-game currency. The management aspects of the game are criticized for being overly complicated and lacking in enjoyment, detracting from the overall experience of running an airline. Overall, the grind feels unnecessary and does not contribute positively to the gameplay.
“There's a lot of grinding in this early game, and there are times where everything is just running smoothly, 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 poor mechanics, with users noting a need for a tutorial to help new players understand the game. While some appreciate the removal of tedious management elements, there is a general sentiment that the gameplay remains stagnant without a clear commitment to future improvements.
“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.”
“At least that is generally assumed to be a commitment to improve the game over time, and I wouldn't have minded the lack of polish and general poor gameplay if there was a clear commitment to improve it over time.”

Players feel that the game's replayability could be significantly enhanced by allowing them to choose larger cities as bases for their airlines, as this would create more strategic options and demand for routes, making each playthrough feel more engaging and focused.
“The lack of diverse scenarios and challenges makes replaying the game feel tedious and uninteresting.”
“Once you've completed the main objectives, there isn't much incentive to start over or try different strategies.”
“The game quickly loses its charm after the first playthrough, as there are limited variations in gameplay.”
