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

Full of Visually Interesting Environments and Graphics

With lots going on and a good variety of lifelike sound effects, Airport Tycoon 3 strives to replicate the busy atmosphere of a real airport.

Vehicles drive on your streets, planes land and take off, weather and day/night cycles affect operations. The shadows even change to follow the path of the sun!

From Cessna's to jumbo jets, the game includes 60 different planes based on real life models.

For a more in-depth look at your airport, you can also go to a first person view inside your terminals!

All to make sure your customers are safe and happy!

21321 Room for Improvement, Mar 19, 2009

by Brad (PA, USA)

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.

43211 In general, a wonderful game!, Jul 22, 2008

by Gabriel (Naxxar, Malta, Europe)

Airport Tycoon 3 is by far the most real realistic airport simulation game ever. And not by the financial situations or maybe the day-to-day problems such as delays, crime etc etc. No, not that. AT3 lets you view the airport as if you were an ordinary person, from counters to bars to restaurants and much more. Also, you can see the planes taking off or landing, and not just normal 3D planes. The planes are the real planes that we see in our everyday life.
In general, AT3 is a wonderful simulation game, and can be played by the whole of the family!

This is a highly interactive game that induces the player to keep playing in many ways.It takes a while to download though,but it is very worth the wait!This is especially helpful for people who are interested in a future in the airline industry.I just feel like playing the game again and again so much that i think I will buy the game soon.The graphics are good quality and are also non-computer consuming as in it does not make your computer lag.I really recommend this game to you.
