In Airport Tycoon you have to build your very own airport. You need to start by choosing where your airport should be located. It can for example. be it in England, France, South Africa, or something completely fourth. Here you must now build an airport from scratch with all that it entails. You start out with $ 6,000,000 for the project - however, it is possible to make an overdraft. It's good to know some small features of the game before you get started:

  • Move around the airport by dragging the mouse pointer out to the sides.
  • Zoom with the scroll button on the mouse, or with + and -.
  • Turn buildings you want to build with the right mouse button.

Now you are ready to build the basics for your airport. It is smart to keep expenses down to start with, therefore, start with the essentials:

  • A runway
  • A terminal for people (public)
  • Aprons (To be built side by side with the yellow arrows on the runway)
  • Turnarounds (Start with 2-3 pieces up aprons)
  • An Airport Maintanance (Airports must access this building via aprons)

Aprons are the airways' paths between runway and their stops (turnarounds). After you build these things, you can actually open your minimalist airport. A good idea is to get the security right right away by building a building for airport police and one for the fire department. Even if you have built these, there may still be mishaps or terrorist attacks. Of course, a bomb in the control tower is not good for your airport summary, so it must be avoided at all costs. Now the contracts from the airline makers are starting to sign up after some time. These can be master contracts, business contracts, hotel contracts, gas contracts, refuel contracts and catering contracts. These contracts bring traffic, customers and thus money to your airport that you can expand on. As the airport begins to flourish, look at "Airport charges " where you can adjust your fares. If all goes well, you can advantageously increase these and earn more from your customers. During the game, keep an eye on the left corner of the screen. Here are the indicators of how much the airport's visitor likes your airport and how good your airport rating is, which is interesting for attracting airlines. Everything influences this. These include the decoration of your airport, security, accidents, prices etc. High ratings are essential as it attracts customers and thus the vital money. Airport Tycoon takes place in real time, but you can change the speed in the upper right corner. This to medium, or fast. It can be an advantage once in a while. Keep in mind that your buildings are being used so they don't just stand and withdraw money from the account. You can see their info by right-clicking on the respective buildings. If the buildings are not used, consider deleting them. If they are used to the breaking point, it is probably time to expand capacity. You can also monitor the traffic at the airport from different camera angles. Look for example. with from the control tower, taxis, helicopter, hotel etc. It may sound complicated, but the game is quite easy to get started and very catchy. You always get help from the information bar in the bottom right corner. You should keep that in mind as contracts are also offered here. If you are too slow to respond, you will lose the orders.
