86/100

AirTycoon 4 is the pinnacle of the series, offering a level of airline management depth that is rarely seen on mobile. This isn't a casual 'tap-to-collect' game; it's a serious business sim. You have to manage everything from hub locations and route scheduling to seat configurations and catering quality. The turn-based system works perfectly for mobile, allowing you to make your moves and then see how the global market reacts.

The UI can be a bit intimidating at first because of the sheer amount of data—reports, passenger satisfaction, competitor stats—but once you get the hang of it, it's incredibly satisfying to see your small local airline turn into a global powerhouse. The historical setting is also a nice touch, letting you start in the mid-20th century and progress into the modern era of aviation.

Tips & Walkthrough

First Flight

Begin by selecting a hub city with high 'Business' and 'Tour' stats. Purchase a reliable, fuel-efficient short-haul aircraft and set up your first route. Don't set ticket prices too high initially; focus on building your 'Brand Awareness' and filling seats to ensure steady cash flow for expansion.

Gameplays

Strategic Expansion

As you earn profit, don't just buy more planes. Invest in airport facilities like lounges and check-in counters to boost passenger satisfaction. Monitor your competitors' routes—if they are overcharging on a popular path, swoop in with better service and competitive pricing to steal their market share.

Q&A

Business passengers are less price-sensitive but demand high service quality and frequent flights. Tour passengers are looking for lower prices and are more common on long-haul routes to vacation destinations.

So Close!

This game is a lot of fun and I highly recommend it if you enjoy airline manager games. There are a few things keeping the game from being great. One of them is the game ending at 2030. It would be nice if they extended that till at least 2040 so we could take better advantage of the modern jets like the A350 and 787’s. Also jets that are currently still available in the real world, for example the A333, A332, and A319 randomly stop production and stop being sold in the game. Unfortunately there is no advanced notice that a manufacturer will stop production of an aircraft model.

This Game is Great But There are Many Issues.

I absolutely love this game, it is a great game with a great concept and ot is very entertaining to play. I jave a few problems with it though. My first problem is that I’m having trouble with closing routes. For some reason I cannot close several routes and I don’t know why, it is very annoying because I have gotten very far and now I’m stuck, losing money with an air route that won’t delete, even after closing the route. My second and problem is that the game lets you buy in game currency, but it doesn’t carry over to new saves. Say I buy A. ampount of in game currency with real money, and my save file crashes or something happens along those lines, and I’m stuck with a new file and A. amount of money wasted. My third and final problem is that the landing mode in the game is so redundant that I don’t even do it. If you do it “wrong” then you lose money which is rediculous for a little mini game withing the game. My other problem with this landing mode is that you can’t calibrate once you’re in it, and the physics are horrible! You can’t even flare the plane and the flaps barely do a thing to your speed or altitude! These are my problems with the game and I hope that they get fixed.

Really good game but some things really irk me

Well I love this game but 2 of the things that I think should be in the next update are when you look in the airport view, it is just a social island like sure it has roads but where do this passengers come from? I would like a highway connection with cars going about it. And another thing is when you are creating a new route, It would be great if it told you how many schedules in a week it could make instead of checking and screwing around with the slots in the airport(s). But I still love this game and you should try it. It’s worth the 3 bucks anyway.

Great game

I already paid for this game and still need to pay to win. Have you lost your maid. Ok let say you the developer need money. Well easy... just put 737 or 707 for free And the rest of plane need to pay 1 dolar. And also need 1 dolar for each aditional for your plane.. oh oh you can set rate below the AI with 2 dolar. Sound good right?? That my idea if you want to robber people just do it with huge money because the sin is still same.

Need Update

The landing simulation

Wed Apr 17 2019 Montdude

I think the landing simulations are rigged because I can’t even slow the plane down when I landed the plane at the beginning of the runway and it will still fall off the runway at THE END

Good game at first but becomes pay to win.

Thu Jan 10 2019 MasterofBlitz

Don’t get me wrong but this game is good during the first few years but it becomes heavily pay to win. I did everything correctly and I continued to lose money. They need to get rid of that pay to win method they force you into after the first few years.
