The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the high prices of in-app purchases and the slow earning rate of in-game currency, making progression feel tedious without spending money. While the absence of ads is appreciated, players feel that the reliance on microtransactions creates a cash grab atmosphere, leading to frustration over the perceived necessity to spend to enjoy the game fully.

- “There is still in-app purchase, though within reason.”
- “No ads, great livery selection, and nice graphics!”
- “It has some pretty hard pushes for monetization though gates cost 2000 and airports cost 10k+ and you only get, it seems, 200 coins per 15 successful departures unless I'm missing something. You would need to play this game for literal hours to get anywhere coin-wise.”
- “The only downside, in my opinion, are the unrealistically expensive in-app purchases; these are still there...”
- “Microtransactions galore... can't advance to anything interesting unless you spend $50 or 10 years of your life.”
