YOUR AIRLINE EMPIRE AWAITS Airline CEO is a comprehensive airline management simulation that takes you from the owner’s seat of a small regional airline to the top of a global aviation giant. From single-engine propellers to massive jumbo jets, from a handful of crew to hundreds of employees, from a single route to an intercontinental flight network — you write your own growth story. Explore real airports across 247 countries on a 3D interactive earth, watch your flights unfold in real-time, and shape the destiny of your airline. REAL-TIME FLIGHT SIMULATION At the heart of Airline CEO lies a flight simulation engine that will impress even the most devoted aviation enthusiasts. Every flight is simulated in real-time with a complete flight profile: takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, approach, and landing. Aircraft weight affects climb performance, engine efficiency drops with altitude, and a realistic flare maneuver is applied during approach. Speed, altitude, heading, vertical speed, and pitch angle are all calculated in real-time. Your aircraft are validated against real runway data — if the runway is too short, takeoff is denied. Fuel consumption changes dynamically based on engine type, altitude, and speed. Realistic ATC messages accompany you throughout every flight. 3D INTERACTIVE EARTH Play on a fully interactive 3D earth featuring high-resolution satellite imagery and country borders. Zoom in to explore airports, track your aircraft in real-time across the sky, and visualize your route network on the globe. All data is local — no internet connection required. MASSIVE AVIATION DATABASE The game features one of the most comprehensive collections of real-world aviation data: 40,000+ real airports — from small regional airstrips to the world’s busiest international hubs 47,000+ runways — with length, width, surface type, and lighting data 30,000+ airport frequencies — tower, approach, ground control, ATIS, and more 11,000+ navigational aids — NDB, VOR, DME, and others 247 countries and territories across all 7 continents 250+ AIRCRAFT Build your fleet from over 250 aircraft models across 15 categories — from light propeller planes to regional turboprops, narrow-body jets to wide-body airliners, jumbo jets to supersonic aircraft. Cargo planes, business jets, and legendary vintage classics are also included. Each aircraft features detailed real-world specifications including speed, range, capacity, fuel consumption, engine type, dimensions, weight, and crew requirements. Unlock bigger and more powerful aircraft categories as you level up. ROUTE AND DEMAND MANAGEMENT Create routes between any two airports. Each route automatically generates a realistic flight plan including departure procedures (SID), cruise waypoints, arrival procedures (STAR), and final approach. The intelligent demand system calculates dynamic demand for Economy, Business, and First Class at every airport. Demand varies by airport size, country economy, destination type (beach, business hub, ski resort, religious tourism, etc.), season, and day of the week. Set your prices per class and optimize your profit margins. Purchase country licenses to operate, build hangars at strategic airports, and expand your route network. PASSENGER SYSTEM Your passengers aren’t just numbers — each one is a unique individual. Generated from 20 different nationalities with varied occupations and travel purposes, passengers have seat preferences, satisfaction levels, and even social media accounts. Customize your aircraft cabin layouts with First Class, Business, and Economy sections. Manage the cargo hold. Happy passengers will praise you on social media, while unhappy ones will let everyone know — especially if your passenger turns out to be an influencer with tens of thousands of followers! COMPLAINT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE Face a variety of complaint types — from delays and cancellations to lost baggage and overbooking. Offer different resolution options for each complaint, from a simple apology to a full refund. Quick and accurate response protects your reputation; delays or wrong decisions come at a heavy cost. And be careful: some passengers lie! Detect fraudulent complaints and reject them, or resolve real issues to boost your reputation. Examine the evidence, check ticket records — the right call is yours to make. SOCIAL MEDIA AND REPUTATION Manage your airline’s reputation on an in-game social media platform. Passenger tweets, complaint posts, company announcements, and marketing campaigns help you grow your follower base. Your reputation directly affects demand — high reputation means more passengers, low reputation means empty seats. CHARTER AND CARGO Charter Flights: Go beyond scheduled services with charter contracts ranging from business trips to diplomatic missions, sports teams to luxury VIP transfers. Private flights generate significantly higher revenue than scheduled services. Cargo Operations: Earn additional revenue with diverse cargo contracts — from general freight to pharmaceutical deliveries, live animal transport to hazardous materials. Watch your delivery deadlines — delays mean penalties. SUBSIDIARY AIRLINES Don’t limit yourself to a single brand. Create subsidiary airlines with different business models: full service, low cost, premium, regional, or charter-focused. Each operates independently with its own fleet, routes, hubs, and financial tracking. MAINTENANCE AND MRO Build a professional maintenance operation to keep your aircraft flying. Inspect your fleet through a visual inspection interface covering 18 ATA chapters, detect issues, and make repairs. Establish maintenance facilities, hire specialist technicians, and manage your spare parts inventory. Earn MRO certificates to provide maintenance services not just for your own fleet, but for other airlines too — opening an additional revenue stream. GROUND OPERATIONS Set up your own ground handling operations at your airports. Purchase equipment from baggage tractors to refueling trucks, catering vehicles to cargo loaders — reduce turnaround times and significantly cut operational costs. WEATHER SYSTEM Procedurally generated realistic weather directly affects your operations. With 9 climate zones, seasonal variations, global wind circulation, and jet stream simulation, every flight faces different conditions. From rain to snow, fog to thunderstorms — classified by standard aviation weather categories (VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR). MARKET EVENTS Dynamic events inspired by the real world constantly shift the demand balance. Summer tourism seasons, international sporting events, religious holidays, business forums, and natural disasters — each event creates demand surges or drops in specific regions, announced by in-game news accounts. HUMAN RESOURCES Hire staff across 20+ different roles including pilots, cabin crew, ground personnel, maintenance technicians, dispatchers, and executives. Track their performance and satisfaction — unhappy employees will resign! Build your own flight school to train cadet pilots. Type rating programs let your pilots specialize step by step, from turboprops to wide-body aircraft. BOARD OF DIRECTORS Fill CFO, COO, HR Manager, Cargo Director, and Charter Director positions to give your airline strategic advantages. Each executive provides tangible bonuses in their area of expertise. PROGRESSION AND ACHIEVEMENTS A 100-level progression system means every flight and every milestone moves you forward. Unlock over 60 achievements across 8 categories: flight, financial, fleet, charter & cargo, human resources, reputation, exploration, and milestone. New features, aircraft categories, and abilities unlock as you level up.
