Description
Airline Challenge is a turn based airline management game that covers one hundred years of aviation. You can run a global carrier through the arrival of the jets, or an island lifeline with a single aircraft. Passengers choose whole journeys, so a rival's fare cut can fill your connecting flights. The interface changes with each era, from typewritten paper in the 1940s to a printed timetable in the jet age.
Distinct points
- Every size of airline, from one aircraft to a global network, is a first class way to play.
- Every historical fact is labelled by how well it is sourced.
- The interface is designed by era rather than as a generic dashboard.
