Originally released in 2007 and launched as Early Access on Steam in 2024, this game is a true gem for those seeking a deep, niche simulation experience. The game offers various game worlds with different lifespans: Short-Term, Medium-Term, and Long-Term. While some Short-Term worlds are free, Medium and Long-Term worlds require a daily fee of 2, 4, or 6 credits. I personally play on 'Paine,' a world started in September 2025 that costs 2 credits per day. This adds up to about 60 credits a month. Looking at the store, 50 credits are €2.49, 100 credits are €4.20, and 250 credits are €9.90. No matter which world you choose, the monthly cost is essentially less than the price of two cups of coffee. There are currently 27 active worlds (8 short-term, 1 medium-term, and 18 long-term) with a total of 2,971 players globally. The developers explain that this credit system is necessary to cover high operational costs and to maintain a realistic airport slot system, ensuring that inactive players don't hog limited resources. For aviation enthusiasts like us, it is vital that such a detailed simulation continues to thrive. Management games are a dying breed. Don't let the price of a couple of coffees hold you back. If you love the genre, it’s well worth the support.
This a good simulation name. Recommended

i finally found a good airline sim [no pun intended] 10/10
this is a pay to play game inside a 'free' shell, consider before download
The learning curve and the amount of money you have to pay to play in the long term can be easily justified if you are really into management simulations and aviation. You can really learn most of it without paying at all since there is always a free server, or deposit the least amount possible to get access to the ORS. The time ticks at real-life speed, which makes it perfect for busy people. It is also perfectly accessible from mobile devices for most tasks.
Bewertung für AirlineSim – nach über einem Jahrzehnt Spielzeit Ich spiele AirlineSim seit 2010 – und es hat mich bis heute nicht losgelassen. Was auf den ersten Blick wie ein einfacher Airline-Manager wirkt, entpuppt sich schnell als tiefgründige Wirtschaftssimulation mit massivem Micromanagement-Potenzial. Genau das macht den Reiz aus: Flugzeugtypen, Slots, Wartungszeiten, Kabinenkonfiguration, Personalplanung, Marketing – jedes Detail hat spürbaren Einfluss auf deinen Erfolg. Das Spiel hat definitiv eine steile Lernkurve. Es wirkt erstmal simpel, doch wer wirklich gut sein will, muss strategisch denken, langfristig planen und sich intensiv mit den Mechaniken beschäftigen. Das ist kein Casual Game, sondern eher etwas für Wirtschaftssim-Fans mit Ausdauer und Freude am Optimieren. Was ich liebe: ✅ Anspruchsvolles Micromanagement ✅ Realistische Marktmechanismen ✅ Keine Pay-to-Win-Mechaniken ✅ Aktive Community und regelmäßige Weiterentwicklung Was man wissen sollte: ⚠️ UI und Einstieg sind nicht besonders einsteigerfreundlich ⚠️ Zeitintensiv – aber auf die gute Art Fazit: AirlineSim ist kein Spiel, das man „mal eben“ spielt – es ist ein Projekt, in das man eintaucht. Für Fans komplexer Simulationen absolut empfehlenswert.
简单画面,极致上头
I personally think that this is a very fun and interesting airline management game, with many complex features only found here. Although it might seem difficult at first, it is actually quite easy to deal and manage with. Overall, a very fun airline management game.
Juego de gestión primordialmente, con muchas opciones para la gestión de tu compañia
i deleted it because of the new game that was launched
