HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (203 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Must

Best sim I’ve ever played

★★★★★Oct 5, 2026
Too many ads

The game is really fun but it has way too many ads. You do not have to watch most of them but if you want to make progress without paying your way through the game then you will have to watch a lot of them.

★★★★★Sep 27, 2026
Crashes 100%

Been wanting to play this game for 3 months. I’ve uninstalled and installed several times. App opens then all menu items disappear and it doesn’t allow me to do anything.

★★★★★Sep 27, 2026
I like the game

There isn't much to do; I don't have an airlines and I can't complete missions. How am I supposed to earn money when there's nothing left for me to do? I can't upgrade the runway without money, its not enough watching videos just to have some money

★★★★★Sep 20, 2026
More runways

I love this game so much but I wish there were more runways than one it would make things so mush easier and would look much cooler and realistic!!!

★★★★★Sep 19, 2026
Bugged - devs won’t respond to support tickets

Uninstalled - Worthless dev support. 3 emails, zero responses. This bugged during a tutorial when I was tabbed out by a notification when I clicked on it. Upon returning to the app I’m stuck at a screen with no interface controls. I emailed support on 3 occasions, have tried deleting the game and associated cloud data, but no luck. Again, devs have clearly shown how much they care since they will not even reply to a email. I’ll be passing on any software from this dev in the future.

Store description

Your airport. Your rules. Start with a single runway and build it into a hub that never sleeps. Airport Simulator: Plane City puts you in the manager's seat. Every takeoff, every gate, every passenger is your call. Join over 15 million players worldwide! BUILD IT YOUR WAY - Design terminals, runways, gates and cafés from the ground up. Decorate inside and out, place custom buildables, and shape a layout that runs clean and looks like nobody else's. RUN IT AROUND THE CLOCK - Plan flight schedules, coordinate plane rotations and assign aircraft to gates. Watch the peaks build across your 24-hour day, open extra stands and keep every departure on time. Short-haul, long-haul, everything connected. KEEP PASSENGERS MOVING - Speed up check-in, widen your security lanes, cut the queues. Add the services travelers actually want and design a journey that flows from arrival to takeoff. Happier passengers, busier airport. GROW YOUR FLEET - Collect detailed 3D aircraft and give them custom liveries. Assign them to routes, fulfil contracts and unlock bigger, more advanced planes as your network expands. Then watch them taxi, rotate and land. PARTNER WITH AIRLINES - Negotiate deals, welcome new carriers and grow your roster, then fly for them. Progress through the Wings of Trust Pass, a relationship-powered system that turns loyalty into exclusive unlocks. In addition, every flight you operate for an airline earns XP on its own Airline Pass, and each tier unlocks new rewards. The more you fly for a carrier, the more it gives back. EARN YOUR WAY TO MADEIRA - Madeira (FNC) is the one every aviation fan knows, where the runway meets the cliffs and the ocean, one of the most spectacular approaches in the world. It unlocks last, and only once you have proved yourself. Start with the quiet hub of Faro (FAO), grow through Beauvais (BVA) and take on FNC. ENJOY AND WATCH YOUR PLANES - This is more than a management game. Aircraft rolling up to the stand, ground crews at work, terminals filling, a departure lifting off the runway as the next one lines up. Plan your expansion, then sit back and let it run. ABOUT US - We are Playrion, a French studio in Paris, making free-to-play mobile games born out of a real obsession with aviation. Our office is full of plane models, including a Concorde built out of LEGO. If you love planes, airports, or just watching a busy terminal come alive : welcome aboard.
