Airport CEO

If you enjoy tycoon and management games, then Airport CEO has got you covered. Build your own airport and manage it to the best of your ability in this fantastic game that starts out simple but gets progressively more complicated and exciting. There are plenty of features, so let's jump into what you can expect to see when you download Airport CEO and launch it for the first time.

Building an airport from scratch

As with most management simulation games, you get to build your airport from scratch, customizing the layout however you want. You've got runways, terminals, check-in desks, and all sorts of structures that need a place to stand, so work those creative juices and build something amazing that you can be proud of.

Running the airport

As well as building the airport, you’re going to have to learn how to run it efficiently and keep things flowing smoothly. This all starts with a good airport design, but once that’s out the way, you’ll be tasked with making all sorts of strategic decisions to manage things as best you can. As the CEO, you'll have access to all sorts of data about how your airport is operating, which will help you make informed decisions on how to improve customer satisfaction and run things better.

Passengers

Customer satisfaction is always going to be your primary focus in the game as it determines your success in a lot of ways. Because the passengers are programmed to react in a way similar to real-life passengers at airports, you're going to want to make sure lines aren't too long and that there’s enough information dotted about for them to find their way around. Anything that could disgruntle a passenger in real life will likely cause the virtual passengers trouble, too, so be sure to bear this in mind when playing the game.

Unexpected situations

Situations that you’d expect in real life happen in the game too, and it’s going to be your job to fix them. Random incidents, equipment breakdowns, emergency landings due to bad weather – all these things may pop up at some point and you’re going to have to figure out a way to deal with them without causing too many delays. It can be tough, but it’s immensely satisfying once you manage to sort things out and get things rolling again.

Pros:

• The game is full of intricate features and has fantastic attention to detail
