Evaluation

AirportSim launched on October 19, 2023 and has received a consistent stream of updates since. Two paid airport DLCs shipped: Rovaniemi Airport on December 15, 2023, and Bologna Airport on March 7, 2024. Alongside these, the developer has regularly released feature patches adding new systems — NPC vehicles (January 2024), towable stairs (January 2024), Xbox launch with performance improvements (August 1, 2024), a save system (October 17, 2024), and most recently an automated luggage system and multiplayer stability fixes on June 6, 2025. The DLC releases established a pattern of roughly one new airport every two to three months in the game's first six months, and feature patches have continued well past that point. As of October 1, 2026, the last developer communication was on June 6, 2025 — roughly 16 months ago. The historical interval between major content drops has ranged from a few months to over a year (from the second DLC in March 2024 to the last feature patch in June 2025 is about 15 months of updates without a new DLC). With no developer statement indicating that development has concluded, and a prior update pattern that has extended across nearly two years, the silence since June 6, 2025 is notable but not clearly beyond the range of this developer's historical pace. No specific future content has been formally announced, and no shutdown or wind-down has been communicated.

Current airports included:

  • Vagar Airport

  • Keflavik Airport

  • Warsaw Chopin Airport

Licensed Planes

We cooperate closely with plane manufacturers to provide you with a realistic experience of serving the planes. Each of them will have real connection points, door operations, refueling systems, lights, sounds, and general ground procedures during the plane turnaround. It's going to be noisy, so wear your headphones!

Current planes included:

  • Airbus A320neo

  • 737 MAX

With partnered airlines:

  • EnterAir

  • WizzAir

  • Norwegian Airlines

  • and more to come!

Licensed Vehicles

Are you a fan of big, heavy vehicles? Looking to operate trucks, fuel tankers, baggage carts, or stairs? How about towing a 60-tonne aircraft? Each vehicle has realistic physics, speed limits, true interior models, and functions. Just make sure to follow procedures!

Current Vehicles included:

  • Bus 3000

  • Goldhofer Bison D1000

  • TG MT

  • TG 660

Weather and Systems

When you operate in the aviation industry, the weather is a key influencer. To create realism we’ve implemented a detailed weather system allowing for real-time weather mapped in conjunction with the METAR system. Of course, you can alternatively choose to select the weather type if you wish to do so.

Gameplay Modes

Within AirportSim, you’ll be provided with multiple game modes:

  • Scenario: Gameplay planned based on stacked flight plans, predefined weather conditions and tasks you'll have to complete in sequence.

  • Challenge: Feel like you can handle any situation at the airport? Test your skills by placing as high as possible on the scoreboard!

  • Cooperation: Together you can do more, and have more fun - invite your friends to join you on an adventure at one of the busy airports.

  • Free Play: No rules here, explore airports at your own speed and do as you please. You can watch the planes come and go or get involved, you decide!

Steam Workshop

Lacking a bit of customization, like for example your own airline? Don’t worry, we got you covered. AirportSim will launch with Steam Workshop integration, allowing for the creation of your own aircraft paint skins and gameplay scenarios, or for downloading the creations of others!
