About This Game

Pixel Airport Tycoon is an airport construction and management simulation game in which you design, build, and run your own airport.

Build your infrastructure
Construct terminals, runways, taxiways, and aprons. Place fuel stations, baggage handling facilities, and catering depots to ensure smooth airport operations.

Manage your operations
Fuel trucks refuel aircraft, baggage carts deliver luggage, and catering vehicles supply passengers. All vehicles navigate intelligently across your road network.

Research and expand
Unlock new buildings and technologies, construct larger runways for wide-body aircraft, and expand your airport grounds with additional zones.

Economy and finance
Earn money through aircraft handling, parking garages, and hotels. Take out bank loans to grow faster. Keep track of income and expenses with detailed statistics.

Safety first
Secure your premises with fences and make sure your airport meets safety standards before the first aircraft are allowed to land.
