Airline Manager 2025 is a deep, realistic management simulation where you build an airline from scratch. You are responsible for every detail: from purchasing a fleet of real-world aircraft and creating profitable routes to managing fuel reserves, carbon credits, and staff motivation. Compete with players worldwide in real-time, float your company on the stock market, and grow your reputation through targeted marketing campaigns in a world where flights take as long as they do in real life.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

85/100

Airline Manager 2025 is an exceptionally detailed simulation that manages to bridge the gap between casual tycoon games and hardcore aviation logistics. As someone who appreciates the finer details of the industry, I was immediately impressed by the use of real-world ICAO airport codes and the live tracking map that mirrors actual flight times. You aren't just clicking buttons; you're managing a living fleet where maintenance, fuel costs, and carbon credits are constant factors.

The progression feels earned. Starting from a single hub, you slowly expand into a global empire, and the introduction of a stock market system (IPO) adds a layer of depth rarely seen in mobile sims. Monitoring your share price as you optimize routes and marketing campaigns becomes genuinely addictive. While the UI can occasionally feel a bit dense for smaller screens and the growth pace is intentionally steady, the lack of forced advertisements makes the experience feel premium and focused. It is easily one of the most comprehensive airline management experiences available on the App Store.

Very fun

Sat Jul 26 2025 Future A&P 2026

You can choose to have routes where you need to frequently open the app and manage ( my preference) or longer routes where you can open it a few times a day if you’re busy. Great planes and routes. Only slight thing that would be best to see is when publishing ipo the stocks if you have investors if you can actually get some of those investments to use to expand which would make the game 100% even better. If this is possible please do . Other than that the bundles you can buy are also a rly great deal overall 9.9/10

Great game, toxic player base

Wed Mar 20 2024 FinbarIII

Heads up to any new players, do not use the in game forum to ask questions that you cannot find the answers to while even using the in game forum search function. There is a Reddit like karma system and if you ask a simple question that people do not like you will be SLAMMED for it. I have an in game warning after asking ONE question about how to utilize smaller capacity airplanes. I even mentioned having used the in game forum search function. Afterwards I got ripped on. then even apologized for not being able to find the answer. What happened next? My apology got slammed with downvotes. I’ve got warnings everytime I click the in game forum now threatening me saying that since my posts were just so terrible that I will lose my ability to use the forum. God forbid my question about how to utilize smaller jets gets hit with 150 downvotes which just continues to grow every 20 minutes… I am absolutely blown away at the level of aggressiveness the people in this game have towards new players. It’s no where near the days of Halo 2 online lobbies but Jesus Christ getting apologies slammed with downvotes is something I have NEVER seen before…. There are about 11 or 12 responses to my post only 1 of which was actually trying to help. I genuinely hope this is not an experience other players have had.

One star for its message board atmosphere

Thu Feb 13 2025 Download with caution AM4

Not a bad game but I would do 0 star if I could only based on what is happening at the message board. Veteran members are so hostile to any comments or questions and act as if they own the game. The group acts in a very well rehearsed manner where one just goes from thread to thread and throws flat out insults at players for their posts or comments. Then, when attacked responds in any fashion, calm or aggressive, others immediately jump in. They have moderators in their crew and they immediately warn to ban the attacked while completely ignoring what just happened in front of their eyes. Yes, what I just described is true. Hard to believe that a group of what seems grown adults would behave in this manner. This is a well known fact and many people complain about this. Yet Trophy turns a blind eye on the issue. Be wary and download with caution. At the end of the day may not be worth it to have your day ruined. I hear same is true at other games by Trophy in this lineup.

Missing star

Wed May 31 2023 BKang2009

This simulator is pretty good. It has kept me interested for more than a year now. But prices of some aircraft are off. Way to hard to earn coins and why can’t I change the engine that came on the aircraft. If there are multiple selections of engines. Why can’t I change them after you buy the aircraft. I can’t even see the engine I chose. Some aircraft also seem to be missing such as the 777-X. Adding catering doesn’t improve your rating and the maximum rating without campaigns is 49%. Adding a lounge doesn’t improve rating. It only decreases it because you still have to repair it But besides these minor issues, I think the game is pretty good. Creating flights to anywhere you wish with almost all your dream airplanes.

Greta Game but could use additional functions

Fri Nov 21 2025 Schmed121980

This is an absolutely great game. The incorporation of real world aspects like fuel and staff make it much more realistic and likable. The only suggestion I have to improve the game is to let your airline create an additional subsidiaries. Currently, you’re only able to have a cargo airline and a charter airline in addition to your main airline. If the game were able to incorporate a subsidiary like a regional airline, similar to that found in airline simulator, the game would be nearly flawless. Support is also amazing with the group help guides and customer support is extremely responsive. The only thing holding this came back is that one aspect of adding a regional subsidy.

Really fun, but really glitchy

Sun Feb 25 2024 AAAZZZAaxxdd

I’ve had a good experience with this game, and I think it’s pretty fun, but you have GOT to fix the issue with glitches. For example, I wanted to reset my save file to start a new airline from scratch, as I wanted to challenge myself, but when I typed “reset” into the text box and pressed Reset, the page glitched and it did NOT reset my progress. I had to do this 11 times for it to finally reset. Not good. Another example is the fact that I have to reload the route page over 20 times to find the airport I want to land in on the map, even though it’s within the range limit of my A/C. Please fix these glitches, they ruin the game for me and everyone else.

Issue when login with apple id - please fix that

Thu Oct 10 2024 Flaix123

Developers can you please urgently adress the login with apple issue? I signed up with apple ID login, this means i cannot login on the desktop because it asks me for my email. I entered the apple relay email (which forwards it to my email), but never received the password reset. There should be an option to link the account to a new email within the app. i believe it it would be easier to manage the game on my computer. Otherwise i am very happy with the simulation

Game

I’ve been playing the game for years. It’s still somewhat enjoyable. Pay to play concept, all of the top alliances/players drop thousands into the game. Great for the developers, which I don’t mind. But no skill involved and everyone that started 5 years ago crushes any newbies. Oh and the help section is controlled by entitled players always criticizing new players telling them to check faq’s. Still somewhat enjoyable but as I continue writing the more disappointed I am in myself for playing this for so long. To the developer I would imagine yourself a new player starting today in 2025, what can I add so they have a change to dominate and enjoy logging in everyday. At some point this game will become useless and irrelevant, but that could already be the case.
