Chengdu Tianfu International Airport - Wikipedia

We are truly grateful for the incredible interest from our Chinese community — including hundreds of new forum accounts overnight.

It shows how much you care about World of Airports, and we deeply appreciate it.

At the same time, we must honestly share that repeated attempts to disrupt the integrity of the game — almost exclusively coming from the Chinese player base — have forced us to divert much of our team’s focus away from developing new content.

As a result, many accounts had to be banned, and progress on exciting projects like Chinese airports has been delayed.

World of Airports is a free game and will always remain so, which is why attacks aimed at gaining unfair advantages make little sense to us.

If we can find a path toward mutual respect and cooperation, it will free up our energy for growth — and certainly open the way for Chinese airports to become part of the game.

Thank you for being part of our journey!

Thank you for your honest explanation and for all the hard work you put into World of Airports. I understand that protecting the game’s integrity and maintaining a fair environment for everyone are important priorities.
I sincerely hope that the development team can return its focus to creating exciting new content soon. I would especially love to see more airports in East Asia, such as Qingdao Jiaodong (TAO), Guangzhou Baiyun (CAN), Seoul Incheon (ICN), and Shanghai Pudong (PVG).
These airports would bring diverse layouts, different traffic patterns, and exciting international route opportunities to the game. In particular, Shanghai Pudong would be an excellent choice for a major international hub, while Qingdao and Guangzhou could offer different operational experiences. Seoul Incheon would also be a fantastic addition to expand the game’s East Asian network.
I hope the community can move forward with mutual respect and cooperation, allowing the developers to spend more time creating the content players are excited about.
Please consider adding these airports in future updates, especially Shanghai Pudong and Qingdao Jiaodong! I really hope we can see more East Asian airports in World of Airports as soon as possible. Thank you for listening to the community!
