The Airline Century
Build an airline that can survive six decades of change. Buy and lease aircraft, open profitable routes, grow hubs, manage fares and schedules, and respond to oil shocks, crises, rivals, and a changing world from 1960 to 2030.
]Build an Airline for the Century
Take the helm of a growing airline and shape the history of commercial aviation from 1960 to 2030. Start with a single hub and a small fleet, then build a network that can adapt to changing technology, demand, and competition.
]Plan the Network
Choose your home hub, open routes, set fares and frequencies, and connect passengers through carefully timed schedules. Expand across continents, balance capacity with demand, and decide when a market is worth the risk.
Grow the Fleet
Buy, lease, preorder, and retire aircraft as the jet age evolves. Match aircraft to runway limits, route length, demand, and your business model. Manage individual tails and the wider fleet as your airline matures.
Face a Changing World
Respond to oil shocks, financial crises, health disruptions, grounding events, sports demand, and rival airlines. Make transparent choices about cash, credit, alliances, hubs, and acquisitions while the consequences follow your company through the decades.
Play Your Way
Lead an airline in a deterministic career, start in Sandbox, or watch the whole field in Spectator mode. Revisit the 1973 Oil Shock Campaign or continue a campaign into free play.
Every route, aircraft, and decision helps write your Airline Century.
