An airport apron at night: floodlights, lit taxiways and aircraft parked at the terminals.

Runway City

It's 06:00. The first flights are on approach. The airport is yours.

A top-down airport management game inspired by Chennai. Keep hundreds of flights moving from dawn to dawn, while the weather, the crowds and your budget all push back.

The whole airfield from above, with two crossing runways, taxiways, aprons and terminals.

One airfield, modelled on a real one

Two crossing runways, a web of taxiways, busy terminals and the city around them. Choose which runway lands and which departs, and more than 200 aircraft a day will find their way through.

Close-up of aircraft at their stands with jet bridges docked and baggage carts alongside.

Every turnaround, in full view

Jet bridges swing out to the door. Bags ride the belt, fuel trucks pull up, caterers and cleaners get to work, and a tug pushes the aircraft back. Run short of crews or vehicles and you'll see the delay start.

The terminals panel beside the map, showing queues, open counters and buttons to add more.

Build in a click, not a chair at a time

Add check-in counters, security lanes and baggage belts in groups. Plan a whole expansion, then copy the layout to another terminal. Set the shifts, hire in teams, and watch the queues fall. Spend your time running the airport, not decorating it.

Click any flight

See where it's from, where it's going and what it's waiting for. Swap its stand, move it up the queue, or cancel it. Each day ends with a report card and a new policy to adopt.

Rain over the apron, with the lights on under a dark sky.

The weather gets a vote

Monsoon rain slows the taxiways. Lightning clears the ramp. Smoke and fog halve your landings, and a cyclone can shut the runway altogether. Then night falls and the floodlights come on.
