How to play
You begin with one Cessna and a dream. Tap to fly lessons, spend the cash on new businesses, and let the money roll in even when you are not watching.
- Tap FLY A LESSON or press space to earn cash.
- Buy businesses. Each one earns every second, even while you are away.
- Hire a CFI to fly lessons for you, and put a Stratux in every plane to catch squawks early.
- Random events are light-hearted: repair, ground or ride the boom.
- IPO when the bonus is worth it. Keys: space fly, B buy amount, T next tab, P pause, M mute.
Why pilots like it
Running an airline is mostly about uptime. Every hour a plane sits in the hangar is revenue lost, which is why real operators care so much about squawks, inspections and weather. Catching a problem on the pre-flight is cheaper than catching it at altitude.
That is the job of a good instructor, and also the point of carrying a Stratux: it adds traffic and weather awareness to the cockpit for the price of a headset. In the game it keeps your fleet flying a little longer, just as it does in real life.
FAQ
How do I earn money in Regional Tycoon?
Tap FLY A LESSON or press space to earn cash, then buy businesses that earn every second. Hire a CFI to fly lessons for you.
Does it earn while I am away?
Yes. Your airline keeps earning while the tab is closed, for up to eight hours of offline income.
What does an IPO do?
It resets your cash, fleet and most upgrades in exchange for Reputation, a permanent income bonus. CFIs, Stratux, awards and Reputation carry over.
How is the leaderboard score calculated?
Score is the base-10 logarithm of your lifetime earnings times 1000, so every extra zero counts. Submit your valuation from the Top Airlines tab.
