Of course you may also sabotage your rival's planes, however, if you get caught, there's a fair amount of fine you have to pay to the rival.Īirline Tycoon Deluxe also features a shop where you can design your very own aircraft from scratch. The airline business is tough and your competitors might and will try to sabotage your planes, so paying for additional security is a must. Airplanes cannot fly by themselves so your next step is to hire pilots and flight attendants who will take care of your passengers during flight.
You may also build branches on other airports around the world and there is also an option to collaborate with a competitor airline to secure yourself the edge over other airlines.Īfter you have secured a fair amount of money, you can buy cheap used aircraft with sky high maintenance costs, or really expensive new aircraft, both of which you can upgrade in your office with luxurious seats, entertainment stuff, as well as improve the cockpit and emergency equipment. These range from transporting a certain amount of cargo from one airport to another, to charter and scheduled flights, as well as last minute flights. After that it is work non-stop since you have to secure the best orders for your aircraft before your competitors do.
In Single Player mode, you start the game by choosing one of the four airlines, with a budget of $500.000 each, and two aircraft already purchased. This may sound easy to do, however, even the most experienced tycoon players may have a hard time against the AI, which proves to be quite a challenge. There are more objectives to the game, depending on what mode you are playing - the Campaign mode with several different objectives, like being the first airline to transport a certain number of passengers, or the Single Player mode where the objective is simple - develop your airline and buy out all three of your competitors.
