The latest round of the popular Modern Times game world is now open! This game lets you take control of your airline in the modern era. You will begin in 2003, as the industry starts to recover, and can manage your airline all the way into 2035.

This game world follows the standard settings for long AirwaySim games:

• Time span: 2003 - 2035, at 30 minutes per game day.
• Normal difficulty level, Medium length scenario.
• All airports worldwide and all aircraft models included.
• Overall play duration is about 8 months
• Special rule: The "out of HQ" aircraft limit is disabled (geopolitical limitations are still in force).

If it has been a while since you started at early stages in a major AirwaySim game, here are a few reminders and tips:

• The game clock is paused for the first day and will start moving after 24 hrs.
• The used aircraft market will refresh several times during the first static 24 hour day (but you can only make two orders for aircraft during the first day).
• There is a good supply of used aircraft available to begin with, but the used aircraft market will soon become limited and the popular aircraft types are sold/leased very quickly. Take care when picking the aircraft you plan to use and plan to order aircraft directly from the manufacturers.
• New aircraft ordering will be available after the time starts to move (= from day 2 of the simulation), but it is of course always recommended to lease several used aircraft to begin with.
• Be patient with the route sales figures since your Route Image grows slowly. Do not spend all your cash on planes at once, remember to leave a good reserve. It takes time to gain profits and there might be unexpected early problems..
• Some popular airports will for sure become limited on airport slots soon. This is normal and you should use larger aircraft or other airports in that case. Please remember that slots are only available when the airport infrastructure expands.
• The passenger demand will grow steadily during the course of the game, and is rather low at the very beginning.
• Consider joining an alliance from early stages of the game, they are great resources for improving your game play (tips and help from fellow players).
• Remember to read the AirwaySim Manual to learn more, and join the Discord chat to meet other players!

Welcome to join the latest AirwaySim airline game and have fun!
