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!

好 很好
一个上手容易,玩法简单明了,但又不失深度的游戏,BGM的沉浸感给的很足,语音模式是个亮点,但是有一定上手门槛。
不错玩
烂屎游戏!该死的高峰总是能从地图的四面八方冒出根本调度不过来的飞机,经常来不及搭建五边就开始吃压力了,纯靠自己手速和脑子,玩着很累…… 除非你是喜欢找虐受的M,否则不建议购买。隔壁Mini World系列顶多是发现规律后玩腻了,这个是玩着玩着就全身暖暖的…… 艹了,什么玩意儿。 [hr][/hr] 二更: 以为是我自己菜,但这游戏是真的……浦东机场两条跑道,连续三天所有航点全都刷在靠海的那一侧是啥意思?还来入场高峰压力你,还疯狂刷新出场飞机压榨人脑CPU,是想要我超频到[b]人类之光[/b]吗?我真的服了…… 我一条跑道的多边形都搭起来了啊,你能想象它又因为碰撞检测失效了,导致先后导引的两架飞机同时、同向降落到一个跑道,然后就寄了?ber,啥意思啊??? 说真的兄弟,没点抗压能力你会越玩越红的,真的……还会陷入到[b]我是谁?我到底在干什么?这到底有什么意义?[/b]的哲学思考!!!
非常好玩。老年人的天堂,家里有哥哥是飞行员,咱也过一把指挥瘾。特意去问了一下,机场还原度挺高的。休闲和晕3D玩家的福音。就是导航点如果可以更改就更好了。还有语音模式,不过不会玩。
配音好听可惜的是没法调整难度
Such a FANTASTIC game! Listen, I get it that it's not a "True Flight Tower Sim", but , then again, I'm no ATC'R either =) This game is so much fun! I've come back to it time and again when I want just to play something cool without spending & learning an entire college semester, worth of manual info. just to pick up the basics. The other really cool thing, is it is very reasonably priced! It also supports voice command input, making the game that much better! Great job to the Devs on this one - it's a perfect fit!
Fun Game. Good boredom/time killer. I do wish you could set up approach paths (without having to progress and get the upgrade stuff during each game)
First of all, this game is very fun and addicting. I played it so much in one day I dreamed I was playing XD However, I was looking for something to learn the skills to become an air traffic controller. This is not a realistic simulator. There aren't factors like height and wind. You can takeoff/land on the same runway in different directions. My father was a pilot for 40 years, and he pointed out a lot of differences. Such as, in an airport with 4 runways, not all 4 are open to use- it is decided based on wind. We both enjoyed the game for what it was. It would be great if the devs wanted to make a sequel with more intricacy, maybe it could even factor in mic input.
