As you send out more planes and make more money, you’ll level up and receive the ability to purchase more airports and unlock new and roomier airplanes that can ferry more stuff in one go. A neat RPG-style component keeps track of your progress. You can watch your airplanes fly at this point, or you can wait to resume when a real-time timer ends. Heavy chunks of UI tell you what people and pieces of cargo need to go where, and then you click on the location to go. As a tycoon of sorts, you’ll buy airports, upgrade and assemble airplanes, and ferry people and cargo across the globe in an endless effort to earn money in order to continue doing the above.
