Airport Manager Simulator 2026 promises airport management, but its Early Access debut seems to have misplaced the manager.
Instead, you become what appears to be the airport’s only ground crew employee. Taxi the aircraft into position. Bring over the stairs. Place the cones. Unload the baggage. Repeat. Occasionally, excitement arrives in the form of fueling the plane or some other new task that takes a couple minutes.
New scenarios offered minor variations, but mostly repeated the same tasks without having much progression. Whatever deeper game may eventually be planned simply isn’t here yet.
The highlight came accidentally after ramming a passenger bus. It continued happily along its route while turned 90 degrees sideways.
That probably wasn’t an intended feature. They should leave it in though.
Airport Manager Simulator 2026 is therefore recorded as Dead. Not sure I will even go back after some development time.
The passengers have deplaned with their giant eyes.
Management was never found.
Pronouncement: Very, very dead.
