Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.86/day in the week to Aug 8 → 1/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
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).
Great core mechanic, but it's ultimately just a "play until you lose" sort of game.
Great Mechanic, but I wish altitude separation was a thing for collision detection. Right now, every aircraft is on the same flat level. It would be super cool if you could unlock or manage different altitude layers as an upgrade as the game gets busier.
游戏很不错,明显是仿照《迷你高速公路》的思路来二创的,也跟它一样是极简主义和上手容易精通难的特点,但是这游戏的机制过于傻逼,才到了中后期120-140个起降飞机数量的时候就已经开始变恶心了,飞机跟个无头苍蝇一样乱窜,而游戏里给出的道具根本没法解决这种乱窜的问题,我又没长十双眼睛,让我全程盯着屏幕四面八方看着,稍有一个不注意就直接撞机,要么就出界,里面的道具根本帮不上什么忙,跟迷你高速公路差太多了,很难评,不能说挫败感很强,只能说玩个二十分钟你能沉住气不红温的你是这个👍
你游的社群氛围,以及开发组的管理人员,从上到下,拉完了。 新项目要搞内测,一个傻逼管理跟你妈跳大神一样,神神叨叨,又学你妈的楞次定律,来拒去留。 想找人来内测就坦荡一点,不想让人来就别哔哔,这样搞想显得自己多有优越感是吧? 内测收费模式纯JB逆天,给提建议也是接受了,可是怎么感觉有些人就像我沙了他码一样? 群内氛围我就不说了,纯茅坑一条蛆。喜欢低智、鉴证、发癫、福瑞的可以尽管加群。 新游发布我也会把这条评论贴一遍。等着。我自费买了给差评。 哦,就现在那个傻叉UI和游戏性,能不能上线还两说呢。
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
The true successor to the Mini Metro and Mini Motorways. No other game has come as close to the vibe and satisfaction that the Mini games brought than this. And yet this game brings a unique style and gameplay loop that is all its own. The minimalist aesthetic, the music, the game flow, it's incredibly satisfying. Each round in an airport starts slow and chill, but before you know it you're handling so many incoming and outgoing planes at once that it becomes a huge challenge. Thankfully end-of-day upgrades help a lot as the difficulty increases. Each real-life airport map brings its own layout, obstacles and challenges, some even having their own weather and historical events. Whether you're an ATC fan of you've never heard of one, this is an extremely fun and stylish puzzle/strategy game that anyone can enjoy, but absolutely you cannot miss it if you're a fan or Mini Metro and/or Mini Motorways.
