I just wanted to ask how the airport gets two or three stars in the new update. So how to unlock regional and international contracts because it says your airport must be regional/international.
So if you look into the levels section at the top of the screen and scroll right you will see the level where you get the 2nd and 3rd starâs respectively. Itâs different for each airport.
Once you get there the additional contracts are unlocked.
Before then you can still get regional and international routes via the map option. But those cost a lot more and need silver planes. Once unlocked that level reverts to Wâs only

Thank You 
Hello i have a question and need help. Is at airport IAD only one aiport for passanger X Planes availaible?
Nope, it has the most X stands but there are others: PRG, NGO, SAN, MCT, LEJ and SXM(1 stand).
hey! iâm new to the game. i was wondering how do you upgrade your airport level? iâm currently playing with INN airport and now on level 9. but somehow its still 1 star airport. can someone please explain how to upgrade it to 2 stars/3stars?
When you go into the levels screen, scroll right, you achieve 2 and 3 stars when you achieve certain levels.

Nope? Sorry i cannot unterstand. I want to know how many airports would shown on the map in IAD for passanger X Planes, to choose this for contracts.
I can only see one airport. Maby this depend on the Level of the airport. I have only one star. Could this be the reason?
Hello,
i want now describe my experience with the game after Update 2.0 and share some informations:
- Generelly: The developers wanted to realize in the game mechanics:
-
more strategic importance and
-
more realistic simulation at the airport;
I think that was succeded top, congratulation to the phantastic game!
- New/modified features are:
-
the service of each airplane takes longer,
-
the revenue has fallen, especially of cargo planes,
-
the management for starting the planes at the runways has been optimized/accelerated,
that means:
-
it´s possible to handle more planes at the airport at the same time,
-
the total revenue at the airport/per time is approximately the same, because it´s possible to serve more planes at the same time,
-
but therfore more stands necessary,
-
therefore also more service attributes for fuel, water, and so onâŚnecessary,
-
no automatic landing of the aircraft in approved slots,
- game mechanics:
-
The player slips into the role of the controller at the tower, to do the tasks: release stands, landing, clearance for take off and clearance of any taxi movement at the airport.
-
with each completed service of a plane you earn, Wollars, and after completion of contractually agreed landings you get XP for the airport Level an silver airplanes to use them later in the shop.
-
Unfortunately, own aircraft on the radar are no longer favored. So you have to slect them by yourself.
- Contracts:
-
Each airplane need a contract,
-
the amount of contracts is limited but
-
for each stand you get an ramp agent and one slot for a contract,
-
Contracts for WOA airports, like IAD, INN, and so on, are for free. The others you have to aquire,
-
each airport on the map offers a number of cargo an passanger contracts too,
-
For the beginning it´s recommended to select contracts with short distances, especially when the ammount of contracts is limited. Otherwise there are no incomming airplanes at the airport and you have to wait until they come back!
-
For a fast success to level the airport up, it´s also recommended not to change the contracts, rather to extend/improve the old one, because the amount for winning XP and Silver planes will increase. Each new contract beginn with one point XP and only a little amount of silver planes.
- Ideas for further development:
-
Automatic Landig, to maximise airplanes to serve at the airport, with break possibility,
-
warning, when using gold planes (I made a typo and lost valuable ones of gold planes for a unwanted purchase in the shop!!!),
-
A Filter in the map to search contracts at the airports, which offer them, would helpful with an overview of informations like: earnings per flight, flight miles, costs of the contracts,âŚ
-
change flight times into realistic values. Only Concord is able to fly within 2 hours from Europe to New York. But when change this, it´s also necessary to increase the amount of contracts with short flight times, otherwise the airport is empty after playing a handfull airplanses and we have to wait severel hours they come back or to change the airport.
-
In order to make the game easier with player connections, it would be advantageous to eliminate the waiting time at the airport of the other player, so the own airplanes come back in the normal flight time. The other player should have my planes immediately after take off, so the player at the foreign airport has enough time to serve my planes, like âskyramaâ in comparison. It´s difficult plan a game with my friends with the aspekt of flight time, time shift, Job - family - and lifestile balance.
- Conclusion:
A great game, congratulations to the great hard job the mods and developers have done! I wish all player continue much fun! See you in the skys!
many greetings
Helmut

Pro porque mis aviones ahora solo generan Wdollar,o como se llame y no me dan XP?
Hi, on the previous version before 2.0 I can upgrDe my equipment so that i can finish faster. But now I donât know how to upgrade the equipments to work faster, is anybody know how?
methodology has changed. the speed at which an aircraft is turned is based on the number of handlers you assign to it, not to the speed of the equipment, so all you are doing is purchasing additional equipment, not increasing the relative speed of it.
âA Filter in the map to search contracts at the airports, which offer them, would helpful with an overview of informations like: earnings per flight, flight miles, costs of the contracts,â
All that information is actually there. When you click on a destination, it will show you right away what options are available for that airport. (S/M/L/X plane types, Cargo and Passenger options and the potential revenue availability.
If you click on the âshow offersâ, it will then give you the choice of airlines to go for with their aircraft type and relative size. If you then flip the card using the arrow, it will tell you distance and time in the âinfo tabâ and the profit in the "Economy tab.
Also when searching with your own aircraft, click on the destination will give you the estimated profit for that location.
What i believe is missing that would be very helpful is knowing the max number of handlers needed for the type. Although you can figure it out over time with general usage, sometimes it would help (especially for newer players) if it was there, so they know what they are getting into.
Thank you for your feedback Carlsberg,
yes i know how to create a contract, but what i meant is, i have to click at every airport, flip the card to see the contitions at the backside. That is a little bit complicated (but not a problem).
My idea is to show a list for all airports with the most important parameter of the contract and the possibility to filter the colomns to show as- or descending values of each criteria.
So it would be possible to find very fast the airport wich offer a contract with the maximum amount of earnig per flight for example or the shortest distanceâŚ
Atvantageous would be also an overview of these parameters in context to the individual categories S,M,L and X Planes of each airport. The best offers of contracts of an airport is not mandatory for all categories of airplanes available.
The contracts are offert from each airport are only different to cargo an passenger, but not the category of the airplanes.
Whilst already there, a possible development to the current system could be a search bar, where players can type in a destination or airline and then the game can show contracts which relate to what you typed in, maybe useful for the larger airports especially.

Is the premium pass valid for all airports or would I have to purchase one at every airport?
And they vary in price significantly.
INN for example is 20 GP. IAD is 110
Phew, thatâs a lot. I donât think Iâll get them then.
