About
Mini Airways is a real-time management game with an air traffic control theme.
You will play as a busy air traffic controller in the game: directing planes to take off and land, clearing air traffic, upgrading airspace ...... And most of all, don't let them crash!

Each airport can accommodate up to 4 people online and supports the use of the Workshop map. You can work with your friends to jointly manage the same airspace to reduce the impact of mistakes and challenge higher scores!

Fast-paced, real-time ATC gameplay: Manage airspace, clear planes for takeoff and landing, and avoid near misses! In addition to the normal arrangement of takeoffs and landings, you also need to face the challenges of mountains, no-fly zones, and peak landing hours, so please concentrate!

Every time you finish one day's management, you will be able to pick an upgrade for your airspace and airport: auto holding, accelerating turns, increasing airspace, waypoints ...... upgrade and customize airports to keep flights running more smoothly.

As you increase your flight management records, you will gradually unlock a total of 19 airspace maps based on real-world airports—from Beijing Capital, Shanghai Hongqiao, Chengdu Shuangliu in China to Vancouver, New York in North America, and then to London, Amsterdam in Europe... Showcase your air traffic control skills across various global airports!

The game triggers random events under certain specific maps and conditions, featuring classic moments in aviation history: the miracle landing on the Hudson River, Air Force One crossing, emergency incidents, high-priority flights, etc.

The game offers three modes: Classic, Hardcore, and Sandbox.
In Hardcore mode, the airspace simulates real ATC operations without the ability to pause within the session;
In Sandbox mode, players have full control over waypoints, props, and landing intensity, allowing you to design their own waypoints and test the maximum flight density they can handle.

The game supports creating custom maps and mods. Players can import map assets, freely configure runways, restricted areas, and other terrains for gameplay. For those with more demanding needs in aviation management, they can create MODs for altitude, wind speed, etc., enhancing the strategic depth of the game.
As you’ve read this far, you must be a true fan!
If you are into ATC (Air Traffic Control), civil aviation, or flight simulation, then Mini Airways is definitely worth trying!
Our development and publishing team are enthusiasts of ATC and flight simulation. We have experienced and researched all kinds of air traffic control and flight simulation games available, most of which feature highly abstract graphics like Endless ATC or Air Traffic: Greenlight, or extremely realistic simulations like Global ATC Simulator, I am an Air Traffic Controller 4 (ATC4), Microsoft Flight Simulator, and X-Plane 12, which almost all opt for professional and complex routes.
By the way: Mini Airways plays more like 112 Operator and 911 Operator than Mini Metro or Mini Motorways.
However, for beginners who are not professionals, they might prefer a simpler entry-level product that doesn’t necessarily strive for realism but focuses on gradual terminology explanations and functional guidance. We believe this approach can help grow the somewhat niche community of ATC enthusiasts. This is why we developed Mini Airways.
Since its release half a year ago, Mini Airways has received a lot of positive feedback and suggestions. It even made a small appearance in the East China Air Traffic Management Bureau’s skill competition. Thank you all for your support! Based on feedback from reviews, we are continuously optimizing the game to balance professionalism and gaming enjoyment.
In the future, we will work hard to bring more new maps, new events, and even explore new features (such as voice control similar to sim4D ATC). Mobile development is also underway, so stay tuned to our Steam page for updates! See you next time!

不推荐。 我一般只会在遇到令人很红温或本身很dumb的游戏时才会发评测,很不凑巧,这个游戏集合第一点和半个第二点。 很轻量化,UI风格设计很简约讨喜,但: 1.天气随机出现而航点和进场点的出现无相关规避,既不真实亦不合理 2.到达航点与进场航点的出现几乎就是为了干扰当前正在执行的航路,前期尚不明显,到了百架次之后这点尤为明显,这让百架次之后的航路设置完全不可能没有手动操作的介入——对应的所有航点类道具(除盘旋点)近乎全部无用 3.第2点的延申,所有的航点与进场点完全随机,没有固定设置区域,这导致航路只能作为顺路的“路线”而非链接两端的“计划”,使得看起来航路可以随意设置但为了继续玩下去只能选择大环套小环的最优解,尤其当多交叉跑道的地图中更是只能环路+不停的手动操作才有可能在后期的高架次局面中维持,不仅手忙脚乱而且也没有梳理后的成就感,无趣 4.机场地面起飞飞机的释放也是完全随机,无论如何都会增加,即使天气飘到了跑道附近或一大串飞机正在排队降落,仍然会频繁且大量地批准起飞飞机进入等待区,同样的既不真实也不合理 5.在上述困难下游戏反而忽略了高度层,这更突出并加剧了前述问题的影响 PS:我看到有些评论提到了我上数提到的这些问题,以及额外的其他一些问题。其中一条差评中有用户顶着“开发者”的名头(不知是否真实,权当其为真实开发者)对该差评用户阴阳怪气、冷嘲热讽——对自己的客户好好讲话都做不到的游戏开发团队,我不认为他们会听取玩家社区的意见并加以采纳和改正自身作品的不足。 综上,游戏本身令人红温(尤其当你想刷成就时),开发团队的态度又很dumb,不推荐
Despite liking this game in the past, I can no longer recommend it. The developers have chosen to use generative AI for translations rather than looking to their established community for assistance with translation. As of this review, the use of generative AI is not currently disclosed on the store listing. Buyer beware.
[h3] Ready for takeoff! [/h3] Очередная игра для залипания. Направляешь одни самолеты в нужную точку, другие пытаешься приземлить. Много разных нюансов на картах по типу того, что с каких то полос можно взлетать только в одну сторону, или то что над какой то территорией нельзя пролетать. Некоторые такие вариации могут сильно фрустрировать, но это ничего в сравнении с тем моментом, когда игра внезапно усложняется и ты понимаешь, что в течении пары минут ты точно проиграешь, потому что либо кто-то столкнется, либо вылетит за пределы карты, либо ты не успеешь выпустить самолеты из депо. В общем тут до определенного момента кайфово, пока не начинается жесткий микро-менеджмент. В общем и целом прикольно, пока не становится слишком сложно (имхо).
Ff someone says this is an easy calm chill game, they would be wrong. When you find the zone, it can be. Have to say it has some of the best game bgm I have heard. I often however find it frustrating. Why can't I trace the entire route vs the general direction. Why can't I assume that the pilots have enough sense to not fly into each other. There is fun to have, but I often find there is a fair bit of frustration as well. I want to love this game, the premise seems super fun an amazing, but I find if I had a controller, I often would want to chuck it at the monitor. Maybe I suck, maybe I am expecting too much, but the one thing I am sure of is that I am glad I bought it, and maybe after a day or two when I cool down, I will be back to try again.
最开始还算有意思,越到后面越像音游,全凭手速和反应,缺乏深度
玩法是很简单,但也超级垃圾,无非就是复杂点的消消乐,后面出的飞机全是你起飞的方向,所以其实就是在给你消消乐加点麻烦而已,实在是没东西玩了无聊的很可以抽这包烟,前提是别抱太大期望
测试版高度系统与半天给一个的航路点有效改善正式版的低资源高压问题。 哈尔滨的结冰机制设计非常失败,结冰速度与除冰速度几乎一致导致滑行道变成倒计时,一旦产生滞留叠加生成速度逐步递增几乎不可避免的持续积累冻结飞机,最终导致滑行道无法容纳而结束。基于这项机制哈尔滨变成一个有飞机就放的抽象地图,而起步极少的空间与无法平行进近的跑道甚至不如四川,而导航点的刷新机制让无论多复杂的离场点设计都是徒劳,只能变为入场兜圈子用的航线,且因为航路点给的过少,刷新也不一定能保障有足够的航路点搭五边,
就是费脑子
重复程度有点高,过度简化了,变成了纯粹的消消乐,代入感不足,此外语音识别堪称逆天
好玩,但是很考验反应和规划,要不然容易猪脑过载
