About the Game

Mini Airways is a real-time management game with an air traffic control theme.

You will play as a busy air traffic controller in the game: directing planes to take off and land, clearing air traffic, upgrading airspace ...... And most of all, don't let them crash!

Each airport can accommodate up to 4 people online and supports the use of the Workshop map. You can work with your friends to jointly manage the same airspace to reduce the impact of mistakes and challenge higher scores!

Fast-paced, real-time ATC gameplay: Manage airspace, clear planes for takeoff and landing, and avoid near misses! In addition to the normal arrangement of takeoffs and landings, you also need to face the challenges of mountains, no-fly zones, and peak landing hours, so please concentrate!

Every time you finish one day's management, you will be able to pick an upgrade for your airspace and airport: auto holding, accelerating turns, increasing airspace, waypoints ...... upgrade and customize airports to keep flights running more smoothly.

As you increase your flight management records, you will gradually unlock a total of 19 airspace maps based on real-world airports—from Beijing Capital, Shanghai Hongqiao, Chengdu Shuangliu in China to Vancouver, New York in North America, and then to London, Amsterdam in Europe... Showcase your air traffic control skills across various global airports!

The game triggers random events under certain specific maps and conditions, featuring classic moments in aviation history: the miracle landing on the Hudson River, Air Force One crossing, emergency incidents, high-priority flights, etc.

The game offers three modes: Classic, Hardcore, and Sandbox.

In Hardcore mode, the airspace simulates real ATC operations without the ability to pause within the session;

In Sandbox mode, players have full control over waypoints, props, and landing intensity, allowing you to design their own waypoints and test the maximum flight density they can handle.

The game supports creating custom maps and mods. Players can import map assets, freely configure runways, restricted areas, and other terrains for gameplay. For those with more demanding needs in aviation management, they can create MODs for altitude, wind speed, etc., enhancing the strategic depth of the game.

Don't Miss Out!

As you’ve read this far, you must be a true fan!

If you are into ATC (Air Traffic Control), civil aviation, or flight simulation, then Mini Airways is definitely worth trying!

Our development and publishing team are enthusiasts of ATC and flight simulation. We have experienced and researched all kinds of air traffic control and flight simulation games available, most of which feature highly abstract graphics like Endless ATC or Air Traffic: Greenlight, or extremely realistic simulations like Global ATC Simulator, I am an Air Traffic Controller 4 (ATC4), Microsoft Flight Simulator, and X-Plane 12, which almost all opt for professional and complex routes.

By the way: Mini Airways plays more like 112 Operator and 911 Operator than Mini Metro or Mini Motorways.

However, for beginners who are not professionals, they might prefer a simpler entry-level product that doesn’t necessarily strive for realism but focuses on gradual terminology explanations and functional guidance. We believe this approach can help grow the somewhat niche community of ATC enthusiasts. This is why we developed Mini Airways.

Since its release half a year ago, Mini Airways has received a lot of positive feedback and suggestions. It even made a small appearance in the East China Air Traffic Management Bureau’s skill competition. Thank you all for your support! Based on feedback from reviews, we are continuously optimizing the game to balance professionalism and gaming enjoyment.

In the future, we will work hard to bring more new maps, new events, and even explore new features (such as voice control similar to sim4D ATC). Mobile development is also underway, so stay tuned to our Steam page for updates! See you next time!
