## About Airline Manager

Airline Manager is a 2021 free-to-play simulation developed by Trophy Games where players build and operate an airline across a persistent world. The game centers on managing aircraft maintenance, expanding fleet diversity, and planning airport routes while cultivating brand trust over time. Players engage with daily login cycles and must navigate fuel and CO2 quotas alongside realistic aircraft performance where capacity and speed constantly trade off. Reviewers highlight that the brand-trust system adds meaningful depth to route planning decisions, while the daily micro-management loop accommodates idle playstyles. Players describe the experience as both contemplative and immersive, with the persistent economy rewarding long-term strategic thinking. Currently not supported on Steam Deck, the simulation holds a 71% positive rating from over 1,600 Steam reviews.
