About
Airport CEO is a tycoon and management game where you take the seat as a CEO of your own airport. You will build the airport’s infrastructure with everything from runways and taxiways, gates and aprons to constructing terminals with check-in, security, restaurants and shops. You will manage the business perspective of the airport by hiring employees and executives, making deals with airline companies and making sure that ends meet by keeping an eye on budget and resources.
You will have to cater to the passengers by keeping waiting time to a minimum, by having friendly and helpful staff around and by making passengers feel secure, keeping any potential incidents at bay; a happy passenger is a spending passenger. Hopefully you won’t run into any problems such as stressed out employee, equipment breakdowns or bad weather which can cause massive delays or even emergency landings. You will be held accountable when things go wrong and filthy rich when things go right.
Your objective is to build and manage your airport to perfection by making strategic decisions, designing the optimal airport layout and ultimately making sure that your passengers and airlines are satisfied. You will need to build the entire airport from scratch including terminal foundations with floors, walls, doors and items as well as the airport infrastructure including runways, taxiways, aprons and other airport infrastructure. Everything in Airport CEO is deeply simulated and it is your job to make sure it all runs smoothly and with a positive bank account.
Airlines and their travelers are an essential element of Airport CEO as they consist of the main source of your airport’s income. Signing contracts with airlines bring cash-flow and passengers to your airport which in term means opportunities for receiving different service fees, as well as passenger expenditures. Airlines come in different sizes and have different requirements on your airport and the services you offer, you are responsible for not only planning the flight schedule but also for meeting and maintaining the needs. Occasionally you will need to handle emergencies and delays due to bad weather or accidents in the area, all which will put your management skills to the test.
Passengers in Airport CEO all have their unique personalities, needs, a background story and most importantly; a flight to catch (on time). Passengers are thoroughly simulated and their decisions, behaviors and opinions about your airport are affected by several factors. Passengers in Airport CEO, just as in real life, must wait in lines, check in, pass security and then entertain themselves until their flight is ready for boarding. Arriving passengers must find their way the baggage claim, get a hold of their bags and maybe pass a customs booth before getting on their airport transfer. Whether they’ll be able to actually catch their flight is up to you: Passengers might have a hard time finding their way around the airport so you build an information desk, passengers might get irritated because of the long security queue and waiting time so you extend its capacity, passengers might complain about the lack of fun things to do in the gate area so you build a duty-free shop or exclusive brand boutiques.
Employees are those you rely on to keep your airport running. Just as passengers they are simulated individuals who have a mind of their own. Employees have a number of different roles and it is your job to make sure that your airport has the right and necessary work force at any time. From passenger service agents, janitors, ramp agents and mechanics, security officers to administrators and executives. The more you expand your airport’s capacity and services, the more versatile and skilled your employees have to be. When employees interact with passengers, they’ll have to be skilled at managing people and stress resistant in order to avoid making mistakes or give bad customer service.
Airports are complex mega-structures with a lot of different buildings and facilities. While a small airport might not need more than a simple grass runway and a terminal, as you grow your airport you will have to expand its facilities ranging from air control towers, larger aircraft stands and taxiways to fire, weather, catering or fuel stations. As your airport grows your terminal grows with it and you will have to make sure that it is equipped with the necessary facilities that passengers are expecting. Building a terminal in Airport CEO is highly customizable where you lay out its shape and interior such floor type, walls, windows and doors. Baggage needs to be processed and transported to the same flight as its owner and its all up to you to avoid bottlenecks and by designing the ultimate airport terminal.
Data, data, data! As the acting CEO of your airport you need to be able to make difficult business decisions based on current operation. In Airport CEO you’re provided with multiple sources of information from which you can draw conclusions and manage your airport. As the CEO you will not only be responsible for the architecture of the airport but also for those working in it. Tired of planning every flight? Establish an informatics department and let an automated system do it for you! Tired of assessing the monthly budget balance? Hire a CFO which can help you cut cost and set prices. Best of luck!

please listen to everyone complaining about optimization/ game play, after a certain point game becomes quite literally unplayable. don't get me wrong, i love this game and how detailed it is but if you have a short temper or are easily irritated just skip entirely
Would be a nice game, but the bugs ruin everything. Most of the workers bugged out for me, so they not do their job, and conveyor belts are annoying to place because they randomly change direction. A few tutorial steps got auto-completed despite me not doing anything and said tutorial is so horrible I had to look up how to do stuff multiple times.

Developers abandoned the game. They're just collecting money from this while they can as they dont give three ♥♥♥♥♥ about the development of this game. Game had potential, devs didn't really bother.
Good management game but ruined by bugs like planes not loading passengers, as well as terrible stuttering in later stages of the game due to i assume poor optimization. All in all good game but almost impossible to do end game achievements due to the game borderline not running after a few hours of progress
Wasted potential. It's really a great game, and I like it a lot, because of its graphics, sounds and concept overall, BUT there still are too many bugs and performance issues which make it unbearable if you play for a prolonged time. Most annoying/game breaking IMHO are the stutters every few seconds, and the baggage unloading/loading bug which prevent airplanes from being serviced properly once in a while. Reloading the last save will bring the baggage loading truck to its senses and allow services to finish. Until then, the airplane sits on its position and waits forever, messing up the whole flight schedule for this stand. Also, there seems to be a memory leak. Apart from all of that, at least two of the achievements have such absurdly high requirements that you're never going to get them unless you leave the game running for months. Oh you can't, because you need to keep monitoring it for bugs and reload constantly. If you don't care about achievements, you might want to give it a shot.
К сожалению нельзя поставить смешанный отзыв но игра мне скорее понравилась. Теперь объясню почему отзыв негативный. Пойдем по порядку с самого начала игры. Если что могу перескакивать с плюсов на минусы и наоборот 1. Начало игры вполне сносное но без внятного обучения, оно есть но проще разобраться самому. 2. Ну прошел ты начало и дошел до средних самолетов и здесь начинаются основные баги и прочее начнем с NPC это лагающий кусок ... который не может пройти 20м из за чего появляются гигантские восклицательные знаки которые нефигово влияют на FPS (у меня 4070Ti и просадка с 120 на 30 чувствуется отлично) 3. Все еще находясь в середине игры но приближаясь к ее концовке (момент перехода от средних самолетов к большим) начинает расти количество багов со служебными автомобилями которые как и NPC лагающая масса непонятно чего то при заказе нового транспорта уедут подальше от служебного въезда и встанут посреди дороги на час другой пока сама игра не додумается их респавнить на въезде (после чего они повторят случившееся 99% случаев) то будут крутится вокруг самолета с такой скоростью что у тебя вылезет 200000 уведомлений о задержке рейса то просто встанут посреди служебной дороги. 4. Багажная система да она должна была быть между 2 предыдущими пунктами но с ее разрастанием она тоже выдает баги и не хилые ставя по несколько сканеров всех уровней ты не пропустишь бомбу на борт но уничтожишь чей то мак бук или какую либо другую электронику, игрушки, сувениры, деньги, вино и прочие вещи которые явно не несут угрозу ну с электроникой можно поспорить конечно, но что топовому сканеру сделали игрушки (причем 3 других таких же их пропустили) не понятно. 5. Подступы к большим самолетам. И так для начала забудь про отношения с авиакомпаниями задери ценники в потолок что бы построить приемлемый терминал для больших самолетов (причем желательно сразу 2х этажный тк желательно сразу строить рукава или потом из-за отмены рейсов при их перестройке ты не выберешься из финансовой ямы) а что ты хотел A380 и B747 забудь к тебе прилетит 40шт B787 и если куплено DLC на винтажные самолеты то Ту114 или 144 и повезет если Concorde а чтобы прилетали 380 и 747 тебе нужно найти авиакомпанию с 5 звездами рейтинга которых у тебя не будет тк игра игнорирует все твои потуги и не дает тебе рейтинг контрактов выше 4. 6. Далее перечисленные баги не будет относится к какой либо части игры и скорее даже не баги а недочеты хотя баги тоже будут. 1) Не возможность делать зоны туалетов кафе и подобные гибкими (можно сделать только ровный прямоугольник без выступов даже на пару блоков), 2) Абсолютно кривая механика магазинов (именно не кафе а магазинов) что бы ты не делал продажи магазинов не будут устраивать арендатора и он расторгнет контракт,3) Не знаю я такой везучий или что но при строительстве гигантского терминала в какой то момент просто перестали поставлятся коробки которые строители используют при строительстве и мне пришлось по несколько раз сносить и строить что бы грузовик приезжал, так же как подпункт невозможность назначить приоритет строительству при стройке больших объектов 4) И еще раз упомяну кривизну поведения NPC. Финальный вывод это нормальная игра если не брать примерно все ибо в каждом аспекте есть вопросы (в основном по багам конечно) но к сожалению подобной игры в этом жанре нет игра очень крутая база для чего то большего например здесь точно стоит сделать систему своей авиакомпании но глядя на все остальные механники ты понимаешь что нужно сначала исправить их ибо это все окажется еще большей кашей багов. Общая оценка 4.5/10
If you read any other comments you will see "buggy" or "filled with Bugs" etc. This really is an amazing game and does something I wish I could build. I GENUINELY love this game and is a lot of fun. I have bought all the DLC's and have put in a decent amount of time in the game and do not plan on not playing anytime soon The reason why I would not recommend this to someone is it really does feel "unfinished" and like it was released in a hurry. There's so many things that just stop working, to name a few: - Planes will back track on a runway even if set to correct "start point" - People will get stuck behind security or even you will have employees just "stuck" - The one that pisses me off the most is when you order a vehicle and it CAN"T GET IN PAST THE GATE OR GETS STUCK AT THE GATE BLOCKING EVERYTHING FROM GETTING IN I digress. There are so many bugs and if I could speak to the devs here, I would love to see them fixed. However it does appear they have given up on the game, and this is why I will not recommend this game.
great game but this game is extremly backtracking unfriendly, it is 5 times more effort to demolish and reinstall some stuff and services than it is to completely build a new area
i want to start off by saying this game is really fun. the ONLY reason i cant recommend it is because of the amount of bugs it has. the worst part of the game is the pathfinding. the pathfinding is ABYSMAL. for example, if a plane is wanting to taxi to the runway, sometimes a plane which also needs to get to the runway but is 5 minutes away, the closer plane WILL WAIT for the further plane before continuing to taxi. that was probably explained horribly but trust me, the pathfinding sucks. the second reason is when you forget to do something (say zone a terminal correctly) the game will NOT tell you the issue. it will just say "there was a pathfinding issue" so then you have to go through the whole airport trying to find where you messed up, and its just a simple thing such as you forgot to zone the doors as secure. its infuriating when you just spent 2 hours making JFK and then you have to go through the entire airport to see what went wrong. the third thing is minor but annoying. THE GAME IS HEAVILY UNOPTIMIZED. i have a very good computer, but when you get a big airport the game freezes so much even with a good computer. another thing is that when you try to load an airport even a small one, it takes 5 MINUTES to load (at least for me). plus theres some other things i didnt mention such as bugs like a plane just wont unload baggage so you have to reload your game etc. if you can get past these problems, the game is VERY fun. i recommend just getting this game on sale like i did. if the devs fix these issues, i truly think the game could be the best airport management sims, but sadly the game is abandoned :(
Совет. Иногда строители от безделья по аэропорту бегают. Можно просто часть отозвать, если ни чего крупного строить в ближайшее время не планируется. Я сам когда-то на стройке работал, также по объекту шарился от безделья. Совет. Смотрите за багажным отделением. Там есть максимум присоединенных стоянок. Влетел также. Построил шестую среднюю стоянку за 75 000, и планировал 7-ю. А оказывается больше нельзя. Ну или другие отсоединять. А стоянки нужны. Начал строить второе багажное. Опять в круглую сумму выйдет. Совет. Сразу старайтесь исследовать объекты, которые увеличивают количество рейсов в день. Радиолокатор и среднюю вышку, но не помню как называются проекты. ? - Пока не понял, почему у меня стойки регистрации и количество сотрудников хватает, а все равно пишет, что занято другим бортом. Баг игры или я тупой? Если кто прочитает, то посоветуйте. --- Головоломка хорошая. Заставляет мозгами пораскидать.
