Game Description

Live Out Your Airport Construction and Management Dreams!

You're cleared for takeoff with Airport Tycoon 3!

In this simulation game, you're in complete control of a fully functional modern airport, one of the busiest and most complicated places around.

Build it the exact way you want to from the ground up, but make sure to watch your finances and plan ahead!

You'll have to deal with all sorts of problems that happen in real airports every day:

  • bad weather
  • routine maintenance
  • construction issues
  • maybe even a terrorist attack!

The latest installment in the series, Airport Tycoon 3 is new and improved in every way over its predecessors. Better graphics, better gameplay, greater depth - it's all there for you!

Try Your Hand at Two Game Modes: Scenario and Build a New Airport

In Scenario mode, you're placed in charge of an already running airport, and you have some goal to complete.

For example, take over an airport plagued by crime and fire safety issues. Can you solve the problems and keep the place safe for a year?

The fun of Build a New Airport mode is basically self-explanatory - you get to create your very own hustling, bustling transportation hub!

Different starting locations have unique needs for travel and cargo handling. Begin with nothing but a empty tract of land and some initial investment money, and turn it into the world's largest airport.

What's the best way to become a true Airport Tycoon? That's for you to discover!

An Incredible Amount of Gameplay Depth and Detail to Explore!

You control every aspect of your airport!

  • Buy land, build runways and terminals.
  • Once you get going, negotiate contracts with airlines to fly in and out of your airport, and watch the profits pour in!
  • Upgrade facilities and build new ones, makes deals with hotels and retail chains, arrange sub-contracts, manage security, set prices for everything - there's so much to do!

Sound pretty intimidating? Don't worry, because Airport Tycoon 3 includes a tutorial to teach you how to play the game

this game is only good if you are a fan of planes or business simulator games. Very similar to cinema tycoon.
I am a fan of planes so I enjoyed the graphics and the massive range of planes.

I rate this game 5 because for one you get to choose your own landmark for your airport to be, then you get to build the airport using all kinds of airport features like runways, tv, plus you can get all kinds of aircraft. What I really think is good is that you can actually see when the aircraft is coming in, going out, going to collect all the passengers, and many more cool things in airport tycoon 3.

This game has a fantastic concept, but it really could use some improvements. It certainly can be both challenging and addicting, but the game comes with several glitches and many frustrating limitations. Personally, I really wish that a fourth edition of the series would come out so that some of these issues could be addressed. If I had to make an honest recommendation, I think that Airport Tycoon 2 is the best game in the franchise as it has the fewest glitches and problems. I absolutely love the concept of Airport Tycoon 3, but I sincerely wish that the game would have a fourth version to correct some of the issues and improve the overall gameplay experience.
