Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Airline Legacy is a deep, systems-driven management sim, and the one thing a solo developer can't fully balance alone is the economy and difficulty curve across thousands of player decisions. Early Access lets me tune that with the community actually playing it — finding the exploits, the dull stretches, and the difficulty cliffs I can't catch on my own. The game is feature-complete and fun today; this phase is about polishing the balance with your feedback before the 1.0 release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Around 3 months. This is a deliberately short, focused Early Access — I have a clear scope and a planned 1.0, not an open-ended roadmap.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The 1.0 version will have a refined economy and difficulty balance shaped by community feedback, additional polish and quality-of-life improvements, more events, and bug fixes surfaced during Early Access. The core game and its features are already in place — the full version is the tuned, polished version of what you can play now.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Fully playable and feature-complete. Both modes — CEO Career and Historical — are in, along with the full route network across 1,000+ cities, the aircraft catalog, team management, hospitality businesses, the CEO leaderboard, events, and full localization. What remains is balance tuning, polish, and bug fixing.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will increase modestly at the 1.0 release. Buying during Early Access gets you the game at its lowest price as a thank-you for helping shape the balance.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Through the Steam Community Hub and discussion forums, plus the studio Discord. I'll be reading feedback directly, posting regular update notes, and prioritizing balance changes based on what players actually report. As a solo developer, your feedback goes straight to the person making the decisions.”

About This Game

It's a football-manager career — but for airlines. In Airline Legacy you don't just own a carrier, you're hired to run one. Take the CEO chair at a struggling airline, answer to a demanding board, hit their targets, and claw your way from a no-name regional outfit to the most powerful executive in the industry. Miss your numbers and you're fired — and a rival CEO takes your seat.

Live the Career

  • Sign contracts with airlines of every culture — budget, premium, or cutthroat — each with its own board, salary, and mandate.

  • Answer to the board: hit their objectives to win renewals and promotions, or burn through their patience and get sacked.

  • Compete in a league of rival CEOs — your career is measured against theirs, and they're gunning for your job.

  • Get poached, promoted, or fired, then work the job market for your next seat. Your reputation follows you everywhere.

Run Every Side of the Business

  • Fly the world — open routes to 1,000+ cities across every country on Earth.

  • Build your fleet — buy or lease beloved classic and modern airliners, brand-new or pre-owned.

  • Fight for slots — negotiate scarce takeoff and landing rights at the world's busiest airports.

  • Plant your hubs — establish bases to anchor and expand your network.

  • Build your team — hire and fire specialist agents to broker slot deals, hub bids, and campaigns.

  • Own the terminal — open lounges, hotels, and passenger businesses for fresh revenue streams.

  • Fill the seats — launch advertising and PR campaigns to drive demand and grow your brand.

Master the Bottom Line

Fuel, wages, maintenance, airport fees, aircraft age, load factors, reputation — every call lands on the monthly P&L. Survive the lean months and stay solvent: three straight months in the red and the board pulls the plug.

Prefer the Classics? Play Historical Mode

Rather own your airline outright? Historical Mode is a love letter to the classic airline sims. Pick your decade — 1980, 1995, or 2010 — and build a global empire from scratch as the aircraft, economies, and world map evolve around you. No board, no contracts. Just you, the map, and decades to dominate the skies.

Take the Chair

The boardroom is waiting. Can you become the world's number-one airline CEO?
