Retro Airport: Airport Tycoon

Retro Airport is a pixel-art airport tycoon and airport manager game. You take over a tiny provincial airfield with two gates and one runway, and your job is to turn it into an intercontinental hub.

EVERY FLIGHT COUNTS
Watch every plane land, taxi to the gate, board its passengers and take off again. Every departure brings in landing fees, and every passenger spends money in your shops, food court and car park. Delays and crowded terminals cost you reputation, so keep the gates moving.

SIGN THE RIGHT AIRLINES
Each morning airlines send you contract offers: regional turboprops, short-haul jets, long-haul giants and cargo freighters that fly at night. 12 fictional airlines, 4 aircraft types, each with its own seats and turnaround time. Every flight takes a slot in your daily flight plan, so choose carefully: a contract that does not fit your gates and runway only brings delays.

BUILD YOUR AIRPORT
12 buildings and upgrades to plan your growth:
• Up to 6 gates and a terminal that grows level by level
• A modern control tower and a second runway
• Food court, duty free, VIP lounge and multi-storey car park
• Railway station, cargo terminal, fire station and solar panels
Every building has a running cost, so expand only when the traffic is there.

DECISIONS, NOT JUST NUMBERS
13 kinds of events land on your desk while the planes keep moving: fog banks, ground staff strikes, the transport minister arriving tomorrow, an influencer with two million followers, emergency landings, gulls on the approach, sudden snowfall, a music festival in town, a jammed baggage belt, safety inspections, noise protests against night flights, sponsors and airlines asking for extra flights. Every choice changes your cash and your reputation, and the right building can turn a crisis into a routine day.

A CAREER WITH GOALS
Four goals take you from regional airfield to national airport, international airport and finally intercontinental hub. Reach each goal and the investors award you a cash prize to reinvest in your airport.
