About The Airline Chief
Build your own airline – from one small plane to a big world network. HOW IT WORKS You start with one plane and a loan. Pick your home airport and open your first routes. Each game week you make your plans and tap "Next week". Then you see how many passengers flew with you and how much money you made. Then you plan the next week. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Fly to more than 1,100 real airports • Buy or lease planes, new or used • Set up the seats in your planes: choose economy, business and first class with the seat map • Plan your flights for every day of the week • Set your ticket prices, food on board and lounges • Keep the bank, the board and your staff happy EDITOR Change the planes the way you like: give them your own names and photos, or add new aircraft models and makers. RIVALS Up to 14 other airlines want your passengers. They copy good routes and start price wars. Team up with partners in alliances and codeshares. NEW IN 1.2 • Campaign with 13 missions • 2 players on one phone • Online with friends: up to 6 players with a game code A small team helps you and explains everything step by step. In English, German and French. Free to play with ads.
What’s new
Version 1.3.2 · Updated November 1, 2026
The big online update: • Public worlds: pick a continent server and run your airline in the same world as up to 13 other players. A new game week starts every 6 hours, day and night – you do not have to be there for every week. • Play with friends: create a game with your own rules and share the code. Online games live in their own slots, so your own game stays where it is. • Daily login rewards: log in to online play every day for a 30-day series – cash, +2% reputation, free online time and the new achievement "Loyal regular". Miss a day and the series starts again. • Send messages to the other players, show your country's flag and choose from 15 new airline logos. Every logo is unique within a world. • Emma introduces online play: the countdown, sending your moves and how an online week works. • iPad: statistics panel next to the dashboard. • International routes now only list countries you have traffic rights for. • Retire: end your solo game in the Board of Directors. • Many smaller improvements and fixes. Also in 1.3.2: • Cabin layouts without economy seats now stay after a restart. • The currency chosen in the settings is now shown everywhere. • Online: seats can no longer be changed once the week is sent.
