AIRLINE OPS
Two ways to play. One obsession.
SIMPLE MODE Launch flights with one click. Batch-dispatch your entire fleet. Enable auto-repeat and watch the money roll in. Build fast, expand everywhere.
SIMULATION MODE (Coming Post-Launch) Preflight checklists. Crew assignments. Fuel calculations. Every flight is hands-on. Faster path to Elite Operator Status — plus exclusive cosmetics and prestige badges for those who earn it the hard way.
EARLY ACCESS LAUNCH Simple Mode ships first. Simulation Mode is coming — we're building it based on community feedback. Your input shapes the final product.
THE WORLD 4,878 airports across every continent. Real-time weather affects your operations. Watch your planes move across a live global map — or crank time compression to 32x and speed-run your empire.
AIRCRAFT 373+ unique aircraft types at launch.
ELITE OPERATOR STATUS EOS can't be bought. It's earned:
Tier 5 reputation
85%+ on-time performance
Zero cancellations
Positive cash flow
14 consecutive qualifying days
THE GOLD A380 Once you earn EOS, the EOS Store unlocks. Buy the Gold A380 and roll for a collectible aircraft:
RarityChanceRare79.9%Relic10%Anomalous5%Legendary5%Mythic0.1%
98 collectible aircraft in the EOS Store. Aviation history. Engineering marvels. And some things that probably shouldn't exist.
THE MYTHIC 0.1% chance. When it drops, everyone knows. Global leaderboard recognition. Rewards that match the rarity. There can only be one.
