What’s the overarching general strategy or progression of this game?

There really isn’t one. I mean ultimate goal I guess is to max out each airport, by handling aircraft to gain enough XP to do that, but there are a myriad of different ways to do that. Do you use AI aircraft and take your time, do you work with other players and/or an alliance to speed things up. Are you able to spend money on the game, buy the premium passes, or do you need to take it slower and go the free route.
INN is really the start point to learn about how the game mechanics work, it is limited to small and medium aircraft, but that’s ok. If you can get golden plans, you can unlock BRI, or you can grind through the levels and unlock it from that standpoint.
You can either follow the game progression through levels or GP… INN-BRI-PRG-IAD-NGO-SAN-MCT-LEJ-SXM-LHR-SYD-BKK (at time of writing) or you can skip if you have a preference.
Airports are added 2 or 3 times a year, as they are incredibly complex to build and release and it’s a relatively small team doing it.
For aircraft, there’s a decent choice at each size from the little old SF34 to the groundhog that is the A380 with plenty inbetween, not all have been built out fully yet and some are showing their age as new abilities allow the devs to create much more accurate and life like models… for example the 748 looks rough, but the latest 787’s and 320’s look fantastic.
So everyone plays a different way, do you max profit, do you max the number of contracts, do you only play with certain aircraft, do you form an alliance with other players, do you play the airports as real life as you can within the game parameters.
In short. the world is your Oyster and you can play this game however you want. There’s really no right or wrong way to do it.
So sit back, set your parameters and enjoy the ride.

See above, up to you. That said, there are strategies that are the most efficient for their given amounts of playtime. If you play over 2.5 hrs per day, and your goal is leveling up, use minmaxing. If you play more than 2.5 hrs and are going for SP, spam AI long haul contracts, and if more than 2.5 hrs going for Wollars, spam Fleet LX on launch haul contracts to certain destinations using ideal configs. If playing less, regardless of whether your goal is SP, XP, or Wollars, spam player LX aircraft. If interested in any of these and have questions, feel free to ask. If not, completely fine as these are really grindy ways to play and not for everyone
