Found your airline, open routes across 62 airports, stand up to five rivals and your own board. Offline, no ads, no in-app purchases. Found your airline and make it the biggest in the world. Airline Empire is a complete management simulation in pixel art, fully playable offline. You start from one European hub with two aircraft. Open routes, set fares and onboard service, buy slots, hire ground staff, grow the fleet, and earn the licences that unlock the other continents. A REAL WORLD • 62 real airports in 43 countries across 6 continents, from Paris-CDG to Tokyo-Haneda and São Paulo • demand per city pair, with seasons and a business or leisure character • a living map: your aircraft fly, night falls, storms close airports YOUR AIRLINE • 7 fictional aircraft models in three ranges: regional, medium-haul, long-haul • two cabin classes; fares and service set route by route, in flights per day • hubs with an animated terminal, ground agents, a director and slots • fleet maintenance: neglect reliability and you pay fines, then your aircraft are grounded THE RIVALS • two to five AI airlines depending on difficulty, each with a readable personality: aggressive low-cost, premium flag carrier, opportunistic regional • they open routes, buy back slots, start price wars • a code-share alliance can be signed, and broken THE BOARD • raise funds against equity: directors join the board • quarterly targets, votes weighted by shares, confidence that rises and falls • stay overdrawn too long and the bank liquidates; lose the board's trust and it fires you WHAT THE GAME IS NOT • no ads, no in-app purchases, ever • no account, no connection: everything runs offline, the game saves itself • no minute-by-minute timetables: routes are set in flights per day, the interface stays light Three speeds, a weekly report per route and per hub, a pixel-art press that tells you what your rivals are up to, readable events: fuel spikes, strikes, breakdowns, storms. A chiptune soundtrack that steps aside for your own music. Victory is twelve weeks ahead of every rival in passengers carried; free play stays open afterwards. In English and French.
