Community Insight:
Planes randomly explode before they land. Planes get stuck with no button to proceed. Some airpot, especially Miami, with long taxiway that crosses multiple runways, planes that start with no sings of another plane landing cant get across in time to avoid collision. Fun game, but above are annoying.
We love this game and have been having issues with the final passengers arent boarding the plane as some others have reported. So we checked recent updates and saw something on there. We wanted to let you know that its still happening and hope it gets fixed. Definitely an addictive game when this doesnt occur.
The game itself is very fun. After every single level is a 45 second add and the removal price is 8$. Insane.
This game was originally one where you reload the planes with fuel and then takeoff. We like the picking up passengers, but the plane takeoff speeds cannot be boosted. Incoming planes tend to overrun planes taking off causing them to crash. Costs of upgrading planes is too expensive and we dont like having to watch adds to gain credits. (That was the whole reason for buying it in the first placeno adds.).
Theres an issue in Stockholm Round 2 where not all passengers can board. Can the people who made this app please fix this? Thanks.
We really just can't stop playing this. Probably the first time a plane holds for a truck but that's ok LOL. Simply great game.
We play this a lot. Really makes it so you can practice juggling priorities and avoiding mistakes. Bugs: Using latest version (August , 2025): one of our full planes turned around and headed directly towards another, causing a crash! [Chicago level 6, lower right] About 10 to 20% of the time, the boxes that show numbers of passengers start up as blank. Skavsta airport: still impossible to complete top level without crashing. Still having issue that a plane taxiing to takeoff line can be hit by incoming plane, even if the former wasnt yet ready for takeoff. UPDATE: just crashed. We had 3 planes STOPPED in a line ready to take off. The incoming plane overflying to land crashed into the middle one! (San Diego middle runway).
We absolutely love this game and could play it all day, but we have waited for the 6th level of survivor forever!! Please update this soon.
Enjoying this new app is pretty nice. It allows us to see and experience the a look at the world from the different perspective, is it a look from a different place? Its from a fresh experience Is it an application to a whole new look at it all.
Love the game, have been playing for almost a year. Enjoyed the addition of helicopters, but not the much longer ads. We noticed about a month ago that the Daily Reward stopped working, keeps saying come back tomorrow and we do, but no change. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled several times and still not happening. Without it you cant buy the bigger planes and this makes some of the higher levels impossible to win or very monotonous and long when you can only get smaller planes. Please fix this fun game. Thanks.
We paid to not watch ads, but we still have to watch them.
There are a lot of annoying bugs occasionally but we got to Skavasta 8 and the first wave of planes crash on the runway, even if you move it immediately. Their website doesnt seem to have a way to report bugs.
The game is fun until you get to the LA level and only the left side of the passenger pick up works unable to pick up passengers on the right side so the game is unplayable. Playing this game on our iPad.
New glitch, Miami- planes crashing on taxi runway stage 8. Cant continue. And they get stuck on the taxi runway have pictures if youd like.
Helicopters were add in airport 155 but what do you do with them? And how do you do it? We win level 8 but it says we still have 40 passengers.
If you like management games like diner dash etc youll love this. We actually really really love this game. Our 1 wish. 20 min is SO LONG for gold on the survival rounds and also. We really wish that we could have survival on each city because some of the cities have some of the best layouts! We just want to keep playing them for as long as we can! Imagine if we max out a city we can unlock a survival mode on that city? That would be awesome.
Good game but the survival last level is impossible to get gold. Itll have eight planes landing back to back to back with zero ability to send any planes out and then youll get a short window to maybe get three planes out before eight more come. All the previous levels took a couple days but were definitely beatable. This level is simply not attainable to get to 20 minutes and 110 flights out. Idk if they made it so hard because they havent made anymore levels but hopefully theyll make gold attainable on it later because it really kills the game. The survival is the better part of the game so we hope they focus a lot on that. We enjoy picking the people up but every airport is basically the same. A very small amount of people from the start, then the last two levels have a lot of people. Since Ive replayed that final survival level so many times to try and beat it, Im able to unlock all the planes for the current airport upfront so the cities are completed with ease.
This is really one of our favorite games! Its exactly the kind of game we like, and the play is quite good. Unfortunately, the sound stops working after commercials, approximately 70% of the time. Also, sometimes it just doesnt display how many passengers are left. We often have to quit and restart the app. A minor inconvenience for such a fun game.
Love the game! But map 71 level 8 needs fixed. The planes crash before you even start. Thanks.
Honestly we really like the game its relaxing and honestly quite fun. However we have noticed that there are times where when the planes are landing they crash into each other on the runway. One of the most common places Ive seen it is turn the Miami levels if you get two planes back to back of the top right runway the second will crash into the first while it turns to start driving down the road. Besides the small issues and annoyances of the Miami levels its a great game and would love to see levels continue to be added.
We wish that the audio reflected the chosen settings when using headphones. If you are using headphones while playing this game, you get the audio no matter what.
Fun game but we got to a point where the game sent four planes right in a row and the 4th plane hits the 3rd plane before we could get them out of the way. Our only complaint.
Fun and challenging but Love how some levels the game lands 10,000 planes only has room for about 3 planes on the runway then gives you 3 chances to take planes off the runway then spawns 2,000 more and they just crash then says oh here watch a ad then lands 30,000 plans or one thats landing hits and you start over.
This game is surprisingly addicting. We wish there were more survival levels and it seems like the main levels are repeating the airport layouts. So that makes things a little boring. We also wish you could upgrade the speed of the airplanes. Like maybe give players the ability to use coins to make the airplanes move faster on the tarmac. They just move a bit slow which can be a bit of a drag. But overall this game is great. We really enjoy it and look forward to what they might implement in future updates.
Good game overall. Not getting our daily rewards for the last 2 weeks.
At level 71, its impossible to move planes fast enough within the first 5 seconds. Overall, was fun to get to that point, though.
The game is great and a few simple changes will inevitably make it amazing. Had to deduct a star tho its San Diego International Airport. Sorry its a single runway airport and kinda offensive to just give our airport 3 parallel runways like thats accurate in any way shape or form. Planes cannot land on water or the Marine Corps Boot Camp (long story short, rename the level please).
Great game, low stress but keeps us busy. Our only complaint is that sometimes at the beginning of a level, the planes arrive too quickly and crash before the player can move them, forcing you to restart. Sometimes the timing is fine, other times we have to restart a level multiple times. Just a small note to developers! Definitely doesnt keep us from playing though.
There is no way to start last airport because planes 3 and 4 always crash.
The app lands planes too quickly before the player can move them. Also when you complete a level successfully the game does register the completion (example Philadelphia, level 8).
This game is nice but it has some bugs they need to work out. Every once in a while the passenger counts dont show up so you dont know where to pick up from or how many. 3 times now going from the last level of 1 airport to the first level of the next 1 we have lost a huge amount of coins. The first time we went from 86k down to 1800, the second time it is 86k down to 2k and this last time 108k down to 8k. What is happening.
Not sure what the challenge is.
Interesting and fun game but too many bugs. Planes crash on landing (start of game) which you have no control over. One plane in air and another on ground crash in safe areas. Random crash and game over when theres no planes in that area.
The incoming flow does not match the outgoing flow. You should really work on that rather than making our mind go crazy to manage the flight take off. Stop doing this or else most of us will uninstall your app.
We like the game . Its fun and challenging, but the candy crush ads that literally take control of your phone and open apps when you. Kick on the x to close the ad are a bit troubling and super annoying.
Unplayable. 4th plane crashes, no way to avoid it.
Too much air traffic coming in.
Fun relaxing game but planes crash on there own sometimes.
On map #71 (Skavsta) level 8, you cant play any more than a few seconds. Four planes land faster than you can clear them from the runway.
Turning off sound doesnt always stop airplane approach ping. About half the time the passengers/ remaining count do not show up and it needs to be relaunched.
Tons of ads, even paid version. Also, if you have paid dont reinstall the game, youll lose your license. Lot of ads, did we mention that.
This game is decent. It is fast paced. However it has some problems that affect game play; numbers off screen, planes dont load people after first strike(crash), you have to cancel game and reload level, multiple planes land and dont give you time to clear them before getting a crash or strike. Taking a life from you, ads drain IPad batteries fast. This could be an excellent game with some improvements.
We really like the game. Im on round 71 of it and Im growing more and more tired of the issues with it that Im ready to throw in the towel. The game isnt configured the best to work with newer iPhones with dynamic island – airports with terminals on the upper part of the screen will be covered by the island so you cant see how many passengers are there to pickup. Sound will randomly stop working between rounds and you wont be able to resume sound unless you close and restart the program. Boards will sometimes load with the total number of passengers to complete but no numbers by the terminals, requiring a restart similar to the sound fix. Board 71.8 has planes come in too fast a succession (this is NOT due to poor performance of the user/lack of skill – its legit completely impossible because the arrival timing is too narrow) to turn planes off the runway quick enough to avoid a collision from the third and fourth plane – before you even start the board. Youre then required to burn the one watch an ad to continue opportunity within 5 seconds of the game starting. Other boards had similar issues but this one is a complete stop unless you use your watch an ad offer right away. On the topic of ads – you can watch an ad to continue after a collision or click no. But if you click no – you STILL watch an ad. With how much Ive played this game Id honestly pay a few bucks to go ad-free. But not $8 to still have these issues.
In London, almost every level had a plane that would not finish loading, usually when there were less than 50 passengers to get off the ground, and you could not finish the round. Also, the terminal at the very top of the screen is unable to show how many passengers remain up there because it is off the screen. Have only made it to the Los Angeles level so far. The arrow at the very top of the screen to make the plane go to the top most terminal does not work. You have to repeatedly tap it to get the plane to finally move up there. Recommend having a fully upgraded jumbo jet go up there, if you can get it to go.
Change aircraft flow. When you have 1,600 passengers you dont need 5,000 plus seats. Get closer to how an actual airport runs. Whats up with the daily reward? It always says come back tomorrow.
Restore purchase button doesnt seem to work.
This game is really addicting. Loved it so much that we paid to have no ads. We do wish though (hi developers!) that we could go back and replay old airports so that we could unlock all planes for each airport.
Why do you run ADS constantly after each challenge even when you select NEXT button?Are you deliberately doing this so people will not play your game? Youll be lucky if youre able to complete two challenges without any advertisements! You definitely need to do more work on Tower Control manager if youre going to keep people playing.
Apps gotten buggy some control buttons not working some not showing and some planes moving on their own. Great game if they fix the bugs.
We like this games, except; even after you pay to remove ads, the only way to keep up the in game currency is to watch ads. The currency is so unbalanced, after the first several levels all you do is watch ads to keep your funds up. Of course you could just pay real money, but Ive already paid.
