Start with one aircraft and a loan – and build the airline the world wants to fly with.
The Airline Chief is a business simulation for airline fans. Open routes between real airports, plan every flight of the week, choose your aircraft, set your fares and service, and compete against up to 14 rival airlines that grow, fight price wars – and sometimes go bankrupt.

A TEAM AT YOUR SIDE
Eleven characters guide you through the game and brief you every week.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Big update for every CEO:
• New flight planner: auto plan with day and time windows, clear a day or the whole week, remove flights and conflict warnings
• Traffic rights: pick countries by continent
• Alliances: choose a logo (8 emblems or your own image), new AI alliance names
• Aircraft editor: choose the seat layout from cabin pictures, plus a short tour by Emma
• New music: title theme, longer seasonal soundtracks and a board meeting theme
• New title artwork with the whole team
• World events are more realistic: right place and season, fixed dates for big championships and festivals, fewer events, and every new game plays out differently
• Better balance: lease rates, heavy maintenance checks, AI bankruptcies with investor rescues
• Fixed a crash in the fuel market and many smaller fixes
