About Airline Executive

Build an airline from a single plane into a global empire, across seventy years of real aviation history. No ads. No premium currency. No pay-to-win. Just a genuinely deep airline sim, built to be fair. Start in any era from 1950 to 2020. Fly Constellations and DC-3s in the golden age, ride the first jets into the jet age, or command modern widebodies. Aircraft, engines, airports, and market demand are all true to the year you choose. Every era plays differently. COMPETE AGAINST REAL AIRLINES The part no other airline game does. Your rivals are real-world carriers flying their actual historical fleets and route networks, decade by decade. Take on the airlines that ruled each era, or switch competition off and build at your own pace. BUILD A GLOBAL NETWORK Choose a hub from over 2,000 real airports. Analyze demand, set frequencies, and time your banks so connecting passengers flow through your hub and multiply revenue on every route. Watch profit and loss draw itself across the world map. FLY 100+ AUTHENTIC AIRLINERS Every aircraft is modeled on the real thing: specs, engines, range, capacity, and running costs. Order new and wait for delivery, lease to grow fast, or hunt for deals on the second-hand market. Then design each cabin seat by seat, from first class and lounges to high-density economy. RUN THE WHOLE OPERATION Set fares, manage cash and loans, and track revenue and cost down to a single route. Keep the fleet airworthy through MRO providers and in-house hangars. Earn from belly cargo, or run dedicated freighters on the busiest lanes. Advance a week or a whole month at a time and watch a regional carrier become a global airline. FAIR BY DESIGN Free for your first 5 in-game years or 25 aircraft. One simple purchase unlocks unlimited play, forever. No ads, no timers, no energy, no premium currency. Your airline. Your era. Your empire. Ready for takeoff?

What’s new

Version 1.40.2 · Updated August 26, 2026

The Economy Update 1.4; now with bugfixes! The biggest update the game has had: the world now has a real travel market. • Every city pair holds a pool of business, leisure, and family travelers who exist whether you serve them or not, and who choose between every airline, route, and fare in front of them. • Cities, not airports: London to New York is one market whether you fly Heathrow or Gatwick, JFK or Newark. • Markets remember. Low fares grow a market beyond its baseline. Price too high for too long and it quietly shrinks. • Hubs truly sell connections: through fares, arrival waves feeding departure waves, and a Traveler view that shows any journey from the passenger's side, yours and your rivals'. • Two ways to play: Advanced is the full airline. Normal is the same airline with a lighter cockpit. Switch anytime, mid-save. • Money is honest in every era: fares, salaries, fuel, and maintenance all follow their times. A 1960s ticket costs 1960s money. • Every ordered aircraft has its own delivery date, and a big order stretches the production line. • Maintenance rebuilt on real B, C, and D checks, in real shops, taking real days. • Financial history tells the truth: weekly and monthly figures match what actually happened. • A new tutorial that teaches the market first, in whichever mode you play. • Shaped week by week by your feedback saves. Thank you, and keep them coming.
