About Aero Empire: Airline Tycoon
Start with one twelve-seat prop plane and a single route. Finish with a world-spanning network and a home airport that fills the screen. Draw your routes with your finger, from city to real city — Prague, London, Dubai, Tokyo, São Paulo — and watch your planes cross a hand-drawn world map. Every route has a sweet spot: set the fare too low and your planes fly full but earn little; too high and they fly empty while fuel still burns. Find the perfect price and the route pays a permanent bonus. Your airports grow with you, each one on its own. Gates handle more seats, Terminals unlock world regions and bigger aircraft, the Hangar holds extra planes, the Lounge earns while you sleep, the fuel depot cuts your costs — and the Headquarters lets you open more hubs. You are not alone up there. Rival airlines claim airports, undercut your fares and fight for the same passengers. Buy their shares on the stock market, collect dividends, and take one over completely: its hub, its landing rights, its routes become yours. When the airline is worth enough, sell it and found a new one. You keep your reputation stars and your airport forever — every run is faster than the last. • 362 real airports across 5 world regions • 15 aircraft classes from prop to double-decker giant • Rival airlines, a share price for each, and hostile takeovers • Your airline keeps earning while the app is closed • A cartoon world map you can pinch, pan and explore • 32 achievements, from your first flight to your own continent • No timers you cannot skip, no dead ends • Plays in English and German
