Sydney gets a second airport
Western Sydney International (WSI) is now in the game. The real airport opens to passengers on 25 October 2026, and you can schedule flights there today. It serves the same Sydney passengers as Kingsford Smith (SYD), and it costs less to fly into.
Search for WSI or Sydney to find it. Both Sydney airports come up.
Passengers from Sydney can now start their trip at either airport, so you can win Sydney travellers without flying into SYD.
WSI charges $600 a landing and $6 a passenger. SYD charges $1,000 and $8.
Open the WSI airport page to see which airlines fly there and how full their flights are.

Every airline in the world, ranked
Your rating was a private number with nothing to compare it against. There is now a league table of every airline in the game, ranked on how well it flies rather than how big it is — so a tight three-aircraft regional can sit above a sprawling forty-aircraft group, and a newcomer can climb from the day they are founded.
Open Leaderboard to see every airline in the game placed against each other, best first.
Sort the table by rating, load factor, operating margin, RASK, destinations served or passengers carried — every column is a different definition of “best”, so there is always an axis you can be winning.
Your own airline is highlighted wherever it lands, and named above the table with its place and the page it sits on.
Your rank rides next to your rating on the dashboard — “#7 of 42” — and on any rival’s page.
A ▲ or ▼ next to a rank says how many places that airline has moved since yesterday.
Any airline’s page now draws how its rating has run over the last month, one point per day.
An airline that has not flown enough to be rated is still listed — with a dash where its rank would be, never a place at the bottom.

See where the money goes, week by week
Your airline has been earning from every ticket and paying for every flight, but the only number you could see was the balance. It now keeps a proper income statement: what each game week earned, what it cost, and the balance it closed on — with every movement behind those numbers on one page.
Open Finances to read your airline week by week: revenue, costs, the net result and the balance each week ended on.
Unfold any week to see what made it — ticket sales on one side, fuel, crew and airport fees on the other.
Watch revenue, costs and your bank balance move together in one chart, so a week that flew more but earned less stands out.
Page through every transaction your airline has ever made, newest first, each one naming the flight or aircraft it belongs to.
Your starting capital is reported apart from what you earned — the 20,000,000 you were handed never counts as a trading week.
A rival’s weekly trading is public on their airline page, the way their sold tickets already are; the movement-by-movement ledger stays yours alone.

One score that rewards efficiency, not size
Your airline now carries a rating from D up to AAA — one legible score built so a tight three-aircraft regional can outrank a sloppy forty-aircraft group. It is never about how much cash you have or how many planes you own.
See your rating tier next to your airline name on the dashboard, on any airline’s page, and in the Airlines list.
Open the breakdown to see the four components behind it — load factor, operating margin, RASK and network reach — each with its own value, score and the next band to aim for.
Fixed reference bands, not a curve against other airlines, so your improvement is always visible as the world grows.
Fewer than 20 operated flights in the last 28 days shows as Unrated, never as a failing grade — a newcomer gets room to find its feet.

Every flight time, in the clock that matters
Schedules are still published in UTC, the way real airlines plan them — but a time in Zulu tells you nothing about whether you just scheduled a dawn departure or a red-eye. Every flight time in the game now also shows the hour the airport itself reads, and each of the 2,981 airports knows which zone it keeps.
Departures and arrivals carry the local hour at each end — the time a passenger at that gate would read off the terminal clock.
Pick a plane out of the Flight Radar and its departure and arrival name each airport’s own time as well.
Open an airport to see its timezone and a live clock of what time it is there right now.
An airport’s scheduled service lists each route’s UTC times with the local hour beside them, so you can judge a rival’s slot before you fly against it.
Timetable blocks name the local time at both ends while the planner grid stays UTC, so a rotation across time zones stops being guesswork.
The planner’s hours ruler reads in your aircraft’s base airport time as well as UTC, and the hours that are night there are shaded — a 3 a.m. departure is now a slot you can see instead of one you work out.
Scheduling a flight tells you what hour the slot is at both airports before you commit, and the planner points out night departures without stopping you from making them.
Both ends of a flight always carry their own local time, so a departure and its arrival can be read against each other without wondering what is missing.
Where local times shift with summer time, the airport page says so instead of quietly changing under you.

Tickets now sell like on a real market
Passengers no longer appear in one wave three days before departure. They book continuously across a 21-day window — holidaymakers weeks ahead, business travellers at the last moment — so your flights fill up gradually and even a flight added for tomorrow still catches late bookers.
Watch a flight's load factor climb day by day instead of jumping from zero.
Add a flight departing tomorrow — or in two hours — and still sell tickets to last-minute travellers.
Plan up to three weeks ahead: flights far in the future start collecting early bookings right away.
