The Hub Planner arrives, everything runs faster, and managing your fleet gets a lot easier. THE HUB PLANNER • Plan a whole hub of connecting flights at once. • Pick destinations on the globe and let the planner build your banks. • See each bank's flights, legal connections, and passenger mix. • Spot which feeder flights fill every departure before you book. FASTER • Views open up to 6x faster the first time, even with 400 or more aircraft. • Advancing a week is now about 3x faster. • The Cargo tab loads quickly on large networks. • Startup is smooth and no longer stalls. FLEET AND SCHEDULING • Create a fleet group for any aircraft type you own or have on order, empty groups included. • Select several aircraft at once to reassign, park, transfer, or sell. • Long press a route to reassign it or open its details. • New flights spread across each bank instead of stacking at the same time. • Flight numbers now follow a clean standard: international from 1, domestic from 2000. • A new economics tab shows real revenue, cost, and margin for each group. MORE • Advance a full month in one step, or fast forward three months. • More aircraft offer weight variants with extra range and payload. • Open Skies mode lets you turn off cabotage restrictions. • A refreshed tutorial welcomes new players with clear goals and a helpful advisor. POLISH AND FIXES • Fleet seat counts and performance figures are now accurate. • Screens stay steady while a week or month advances. • Route details and airport taps work better on iPhone. Thank you for playing. Keep the feedback coming.

1.28.3 - Economy, cargo, and competitors - Rebalanced route demand - Air now competes with rail and road. Biggest impact in short hops (i.e. JFK - PHL) - Competitor fixes - Airlines now fly their historical networks with corresponding aircraft. It is an 80% historical match and 20% generated. - Freight improvements - Freighters can now fly between all airports without restrictions. Cargo can now transfer to other aircraft, like passengers already can. 1.30 will focus on network and hub management, and load/advance week improvements!

Fix: - MRO providers not available for new aircraft - Aircraft requirements in fleets were overinflated As always thanks to the community for the critical feedback!

Thank You This update is built almost entirely on your feedback. Special thanks to Matyas, Tony, Anthony, Stephan, David, Maximilian, and Nick for their reports and suggestions! New Content • Classic British airliners, including the Vickers VC10 and Viscount • Hong Kong Kai Tak, historical Guangzhou, and 41 smaller airports across large countries Improvements • Sell multiple aircraft at once • Park, unpark, and reactivate aircraft manually • Lease auto-renewal per fleet group, with per-aircraft override • Maintenance now spreads across your fleet instead of batching • In-flight entertainment configured in one place: the cabin designer • Dissolve subsidiaries and remove hubs directly from Management • Codeshare connections now count toward demand and load factors Bug Fixes • Cabin seat counts can no longer exceed the aircraft’s real capacity; realistic 767 layouts • Fleet usage numbers now match across all screens • Transfer Funds errors and crashes • Tutorial stuck on the “Open Menu” step • Airport code corrections and cleaner maintenance alerts in the weekly digest

V1.27 - Design & Significant optimization - New design! The game now looks much prettier while creating a foundation that allows quick iteration (new features coming soon!). - Game load improvements; games will now load approximately 3-4x faster, significantly improving the experience once you get above ~100 aircraft in your fleet. - Week advance now takes around 10 seconds for a large airline, which is 6x faster than before! + Significant reduction in end-of-year crashes and removal of dead ends in the tutorial. V1.28 is coming soon, packed with community-provided bugfixes and improvements. Thank you as always for the comments, feedback, and reviews. It makes a big difference! - Kjell

A big update focused on running a group of airlines. - Group Codeshare: every airline in your group now codeshares with every other automatically. Bulk apply routes between parent and subsidiaries, or between subsidiaries, filtered by hub or domestic/international. - Reduce departures on a route without rebuilding it. Swipe a route, tap Reduce, pick the flights to drop. The route keeps its maturity. - Remove a hub or dissolve a subsidiary from the Management screen. Aircraft and remaining cash transfer back to the parent. - Subsidiary bailouts: when a subsidiary runs out of cash the parent now covers the shortfall each month with a clear running tally. - Globe view draws flights as real great-circle arcs, so New York to Tokyo now bows over the pole the way a real flight plan does. - Aircraft delivery follows historical production rates per type, so an A320 in 1995 delivers slowly and an A320neo in 2024 delivers fast. - Plus a fix for a year-end crash that could hit long-running games where too many AI competitors had quietly gone bankrupt, and a long list of smaller polish. Coming next: 1.27 is a major design refresh. Cleaner, more consistent screens across the whole app, with proper light and dark mode support. No new mechanics, just a much better-looking game. Thanks for playing, and keep emailing me when something's broken.

v1.25.2 — Faster, fixed, and a lot of community wins - Up to 77% faster week advance. Mature airlines now fly through weekly processing in roughly a quarter of the old time. - iPad mini, fixed. v1.24's new layout didn't fit iPad mini and made the game cramped. Sorry about that. iPad mini (and any narrow Stage Manager window) now uses a proper single-column layout (more like iPhone than iPad). iPad Air, Pro, and iPhone are unchanged. - The mid-load and mid-advance crash, fixed. If the screen went to sleep or you swiped the app away while loading a save or advancing a week, iOS could kill the app. Tracking it down took longer than I'd hoped — thank you for the patience while I worked through it. Further improvements: - Routes view: search flights by airport, city, or aircraft used. Bulk-change aircraft type on routes, pause or resume individual flights, and hide impossible fleet groups when scheduling. - Quick Saves are now a Settings choice — keep the last 5, 10, or 25 (default 10) — and every Next Week click writes a Quick Save, so the worst-case lost progress is one week instead of one month. - Save loads on mature airlines are noticeably faster, with the loading screen staying responsive throughout. - Historical airports back to their right years: Oslo Fornebu, Athens Hellinikon, Istanbul Atatürk, Doha International, Singapore Paya Lebar, New York Idlewild, Riyadh Air Base. When they close in real-world history (Oslo 1998, Athens 2001, Istanbul 2019, and so on), flights, hubs, and fleet groups transfer to the replacement airport automatically — no manual rerouting. - Add Hangar on existing MROs. Expand an in-house MRO without rebuilding from scratch; cost and monthly bump scale with the era. - Used aircraft market: a 737-500 won't show up in a 1950 game any more, and the same goes for every other aircraft before its real entry-into-service year. - Tutorial soft-lock fixed. If ordering aircraft pushed you past the free-play wall before you finished onboarding, that's resolved. On iPad, the route-detail step also now advances when you tap any route, not only when the detail sheet appears. - Cabin reconfigurations that reach Completed no longer linger in the Pending list. - Crew-shortage advisory now reflects that staffing is automated — no more dead-end tap. Thank you to everyone who sent feedback, screenshots, and debug snapshots while I worked through this update — particularly Matyas, whose extraordinary level of detail drove a huge chunk of this release. Thanks also to Tony, Nick, Awab, Issa, Scott, and the many other players who flagged issues and stuck with the game while I tracked things down. Keep the reports coming. Up next is 1.26 with another load of improvement and fixes.
