"You land a million planes safely. Then you have one little mid-air, and you never hear the end of it." – Air Traffic Controller, New York TRACON

Do you have what it takes to be an air traffic controller at a busy international airport?
As an air traffic controller it is your job to keep aircraft from colliding, while avoiding unnecessary delays. You are paid the big bucks for your visualization skills and guts. Just like the real job of an air traffic controller, you must pay attention and keep your eyes moving. There is always something that you could be doing! You must give takeoff clearances, landing clearances and taxi clearances in a strategic effort to maintain safety and efficiency where there would otherwise be total chaos. This is not a spectator's sport!
This simulation contains 2 different challenging airport layouts. Knowledge of air traffic control is not required to be a top-notch air traffic controller in Airport Madness Mobile, but you do require nerves of steel.
Be sure to check out Will It Fly? and Airport Madness Challenge!
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We wish it look a little more realistic than the cartoon looks.
Yea. So everyone that saying that the cloud boards are horrible, yes they are ridiculous. Get rid of the clouds.
Game is fun but you have to pay to get past the first few levels. It only takes 15min.
This was a nice learning experience. The game designers did a great job keeping it simple with the controls. We will check out the incognito.
The game itself is great. Things to fix or add would be an added ability to speed up the game, stop planes from hitting each other without the player having put any input(we have found that to counter this one can slow one of the two approaching planes but one of the 2 is the right choice, you slow down the wrong one and theyll crash anyways), try a 3D version?. Like we said these are things to add and as of fixing well it dont need much of that.
The game has much fun please make it free so we can play the next level please.
Great way to kill time. Fun game.
Couldnt stop playing once we got started.
Download. The game is worth it.
We wish that you did not need to purchase different levels but instead be able to purchase different planes and we would like it if you hade a little more control over the planes.
We love the game but you have to unlock all of the levels.
Basic but very fun airport game.
Not bad gameplay but its astonishing they neglected something as simple as a way out to your phone The game takes over the entire screen and unless you have another app to toggle to, then activate the app switcher, you are STUCK forever. Really low hanging fruit to miss, would have been 4 stars.
Ive spent many hours playing this game. We wish you could speed it up, and that you did the have to start back at level 1 if you get far and quit the game. Also the penalty for crashes is so high that it demotivates us from continuing. Lasy, it used to be the case, is some previous version that you could choose your airport and runway configurations, but thats gone away and you have to choose the airport you are given, which is also tedious at times.
This game is a ton of fun; however, the game play becomes consistent and no longer challenging. Would love to see an update to this game.
Its a shame you cant pick a level to play. Since we pay for the levels we should be able to select a specific level and practice it. Please fix that.
As far as we can tell, even after you purchase the later levels the game stops after two levels. Bought the levels when the game first came out and you could start on any level you owned but now it always starts at level 1.
It's one thing to have banner ads, but when the ads constantly pop up interrupting the middle of the game, then it's a no go.
We tried to buy new levels. The funds were deducted from our iTunes account but the level are still available. Ive send messages to Fluik but no response. Very disappointing service.
Free version has advertisements blocking roughly 15 to 20 percent of the screen. So you cant see aircraft attempting to land. You can only play two levels. So this is just a waste of time.
Ads on the current version become full screen, intrusive, and often pop up repeatedly during the game. Making the game unplayable.
Fun diversion that lets one escape for a duration.
This game is exactly what we needed. It teaches you time management and organizational skills.
Great, Fun game…just have a problem with the incoming planes colliding with each other on the crossing pathways…it always happens in the last minute of the level…other than that problem, we enjoy this game.
Spent many hours, very fun and at times very challenging. We would ask for more levels and the ability to speed it up sometimes, otherwise, well thought out with the options as they are. Good job.
We do like the game for breaking up the day its easy to keep playing once you start. We purchased the other levels and have found that the app AI planes landing on some levels on crossing runways are colliding on their own wish they would update the AI part so the app does not crash its own planes lol.
Great graphics and premise. Bearing in mind the airport layouts are designed to cause problems ("challenges"), the biggest concern is higher levels give clouds thick enough and covering enough screen you just kinda wait for the inevitable explosion. Combined with runways being so close to screen edge with some faster moving planes, and zero control of flight paths, it just happens. Unrealistic small separation is the only way to get to higher levels. Even if you tell all arrivals to go around so you can catch up on all the departures, the higher level cloud coverage will utterly mask a plane until it's on the runway and gonna crash into crossing traffic. Also noticed that a plane you "slow down" in the air will crawl on the runway instead of regular roll-out speed. As someone in the biz, we'd say at least give some control to path or which runways are for takeoff and landing.
The game is fun. Its the typical ATC style game. We know the game is free, but the ad banner on the bottom of the screen prevents you from selecting aircraft sitting near or sometimes under the ad banner. Put the ad banner somewhere that doesnt interfere with game play.
There are ads in the middle of the screen which affects gameplay.
We wish the could fix the screen ratio the ad covers one of the planes waiting to taxi. Its impossible to progress through the game.
Ads block the actual screen area where we have to select planes for take off Remove ads pls.
App freezes and shuts off when we try to open the game.
You cant play this game, ads dont let you to manage the planes. Waste of time.
The free version is unplayable due to ads over the game. We know your trying to make money but forcing people to pay just to even try the game is stupid.
Game needs to be updated for iPhone X so we can click on all the planes.
The location of the ads kills the game by hiding aspects.
We tried to purchase the extra levels and it took our money, but we cant play the levels. It just tells us to purchase them again. We contacted the developer and have received no response.
Free version only lets you play 2 levels. You have to buy all the others. We get it. They make apps to make money. What is so stupid is that the full version is $4.99 but it you get the free version and buy all of the levels separately it only costs $3.96!! Like the game. We just don't think it's worth $4 or especially $5.
Cannot click on incoming airplanes because or your banner ad at the bottom. It opens the ad up then we cannot return to our game. Umm wake up.
It's very fun and addictive, the only thing we believe is a shortcoming is the time limit. Should have as much time as you want.
We shouldn't see ads in a paid app. Bad.
Great game but only 2 free levels the rest are for purchase.
Even after purchase, adds block and very difficult to "touch" to control. Ads block content. You always have to go back to level one to start over. Every level has time limit. If you don't use up all "mishaps" in alloyed time you advance to next level. You can't determine your best at any level. Levels should be awarded by score, not because you spent 4-5 minutes on any level.
We really like this game, but at the higher levels, which you must pay to get, there are adds that block your ability to play the game. Either make it all free or get rid of the adds.
This makes us upset that when we bought the extra levels 3-5, we could not move our bottom left airplanes because the add was in the way…. We play this game on our iPhone 6 Plus! This is a terrible place to put the adds…. Literally a complete waste of money!!! Game is excellent besides compared to the older version there is a time limit that we do not care for as well.
Like many other users already said on here… -Great simple game to pass the time…but that's the only good thing. -Bought game…ads still there. -Planes pop up in hard to tap areas OR worst yet pop up in areas are literally impossible to tap OR pop up too close to the pause button. First few levels are tolerable…the rest are unforgivable and lack any sense of care for the players. Shame.
It can be a fun game but it has no extra features and is $1 per 2 levels. Then if you decide you like it you still have to pay $5 to have the actual version even if you bought maps. Want to just play the free version? Sorry you can't, because the ads get in the way of half the incoming planes and make the game unplayable. We wouldn't bother buying the full version after this cheap move on the owner's part.
You will regret paying for add-ons.
Love the game. However, very frustrating to play when the ads are blocking some of the game play even after purchasing a level addons. We unfortunately will not be purchasing or playing the game anymore addons until this is fixed.
When you try the free version is easy to see where the planes are coming but as it gets harder the ads blocks your vision of other planes coming from below….It also makes hard to select the planes from the gates…Like someone said other games will remove the ads once you buy the game, but this is not the case….Basically they are just greedy because they're getting paid for the ads and users like us….If you don't want to get frustrated, DON'T BUY this game until they remove the ads.
