Airport CEO Steam Account
Release Date: 28/09/2017
Airport CEO is a 2D Tycoon and management game in development for PC and Mac, where you sit as the CEO of your own airport. You will build airport infrastructure with everything from runways and taxiways, gates and tarmac to constructing terminals with check-in, security, restaurants, and shops. You will manage the business perspective of the airport by hiring staff and executives, making deals with airlines, and ensuring that results are met by overseeing the budget and resources.
You will need to cater to passengers by minimising wait times, having friendly and helpful staff around, and ensuring that travellers feel safe while keeping all potential criminals at bay; a happy passenger is a spending passenger. Hopefully, you will not encounter any issues such as staff or equipment breakdowns, bad weather causing massive delays, or emergency landings. You will be responsible when things go wrong, and of course for the dirty riches when things go right.
Your goal is to build and manage your airport to perfection through strategic decisions, building an optimised airport, and ultimately ensuring the satisfaction of passengers and airlines. You will need to construct an entire airport from scratch, including the terminal foundations with floors, walls, doors, and items, as well as the airport infrastructure including runways, taxiways, boarding areas, and other essential constructions. Everything in Airport CEO is deeply simulated, and therefore you must manage its operation through strategic decisions such as hiring the right staff, controlling expenses, and optimising processes.
Airlines and their passengers are a fundamental element of Airport CEO, as they constitute the main source of revenue for your airport. Signing contracts with airlines brings cash flow and passengers to your airport, which means opportunities to earn a variety of service fees and also passenger spending. Airlines come in various sizes and have different requirements for your airport and the services you offer; you are responsible not only for scheduling flights but also for fulfilling and maintaining their needs. For example, flights during peak traffic could generate higher revenue as airlines are willing to pay more in fees, but on the other hand, late evening flights are usually less desirable, and you may be forced to lower the fees for flights operated at that hour. Occasionally, you will have to manage emergencies and delays due to bad weather or accidents in the area, which will test your managerial skills.
Passengers in Airport CEO are diverse individuals with personalities, needs, backstories, and most importantly; flights to catch. Passengers are deeply simulated, and their decisions, behaviours, and opinions about your airport are influenced by a variety of different factors. Passengers in Airport CEO, just like real-life travellers, must wait in lines, check in, go through security, and then entertain themselves until their flight is ready for boarding. Arriving passengers must find their way to baggage claim, collect their luggage, and go through customs before boarding transport. Whether they actually make their flight is up to you: Passengers may have trouble finding their way around the airport, so you build an information desk, passengers may be irritated due to long lines at security and wait times, so expand its capacity, passengers may complain about a lack of entertainment in the gate area, so you build duty-free shops, exclusive branded boutiques, and business lounges.
Staff are those you rely on to keep your airport running. Like passengers, they are deeply simulated individuals with their own minds influenced by several factors. Staff have a variety of different roles, and it is your job to ensure that your airport has the right and necessary workforce. From airport staff, cleaners, ramp workers, and mechanics, to security personnel and administrators. The more you expand your airport, its range of facilities, and passenger capacity, the more versatile and qualified your staff must be. When staff interact with passengers, they will need to be skilled in managing people and withstand stress to avoid processing errors and letting the wrong people through.
Airports are complex megastructures with many different buildings and facilities. While a small airport may not need more than a simple grass runway and terminal, as you grow your airport, you will need to expand its facilities from control towers, fingers, and boarding areas, taxiways, and service roads to fire, weather, catering, and fuel stations. As your airport grows, your terminal expands, and you will need to ensure it is equipped with the essential amenities that passengers expect. Building a terminal in Airport CEO is 100% custom: You decide its shape, layout, its components such as floors, walls, and doors. Baggage must be processed and transported on the same flight as its owner, and when it comes to avoiding bottlenecks and designing the final airport terminal, it is all up to you.
Data, data, data! As the CEO of your airport, you must be able to make tough business decisions based on real intelligence. In Airport CEO, you will ultimately be provided with a vast amount of data from which you can draw conclusions and manage your airport. You will have access to a set of different panels highlighting what you want to know, if you have of course invested in the right technology that gathers it. As the CEO, you will not only be responsible for the architecture of the airport but also for those who work in it. Are you tired of vetting every janitor you need to hire? Set up an HR department and let them do it for you! Are you tired of assessing the monthly budget balance? Create an accounting department, or better yet, hire a financial director to ensure you are making the very best decisions.
