What happens behind the scenes at airports? Your bag disappears on a conveyor belt and it appears (or not) at your final destination. The secrets of airports will be unveiled in Airport Sim, a simulator game in which players handle luggage, refuel planes, use technical vehicles (e.g., jetways, tractors, "follow me" cars), and undertake ground crew tasks (e.g., assisting taxiing or the handling of special generators).

All activities follow a strict time schedule. Planning each action and finding the optimal workflow allows passengers to safely travel to their destinations. Weather conditions and random events will keep even the best ground crew on their toes.

In the campaign, the player is responsible for handling flights based on real timetables and undertake all the necessary activities to keep the planes on schedule. In Free Play, the ground crew struggles against random events and adjusts the weather conditions at their location.

All terminals and tarmacs are based on real-life locations. Players may tour them in a separate Visitor mode. Co-op mode allows gamers to find optimal ways to service planes and passengers with their friends' assistance.

Airport Sim is a great sandbox for aviation fans. With Steam Workshop integration, the game allows users to create custom timetables, modify vehicles, and create a new airline.
