Airline Tycoon, better known as Airline Tycoon First Class in-game, is a standalone add-on to the original Airline Tycoon although it can also be considered an updated re-release. The subtitle was dropped in the manual and on the covers because this was the first game in the series released in US and UK territory.

The weatherman predicts a tornado. Planeloads of baggage have mysteriously disappeared. Flight delays have left customers in an uproar. Now, your most valuable airline is ready to pull the plug on a lucrative contract. Welcome to the world of Airport Tycoon 2, where the sky is the limit, and failure is just over the horizon!

Design, build and maintain your very own international airport in this amazingly in-depth management simulation. Get started by buying land in over 40 diverse locations and building runways, and then secure both cargo and passenger airline contracts. Watch your creation come to life as your airport bustles with the activities of planes, cars and passengers in detailed 3D-rendered graphics. But be careful! Bad weather, overbooked flights, bottlenecks on the runway, and aircraft collisions are all part of the job. Do you think you can keep your customers safe and happy on the way to becoming the ultimate airport manager?

The players must manage : schedules and itineraries, aircraft maintenance, menus and on board entertainment, morale and efficiency of their employees… In this world of fierce competition, the players must keep an eye on their security and prevent their airline from being sabotaged

Airline Tycoon is a race between four competitors to build up an airline into the most-profitable venture in the cyber realm. The game can be played either as a single player, with three campaigns or free play, or over the Internet in multiplayer mode. In campaign mode, you begin with a meeting with Dr. Uhrig, the airport manager. He outlines the missions, then sends you and your fellow ‘tycoons’ out to accomplish the tasks at hand. Each morning in the cycle, you attend a meeting and receive an update. Your day is filled by signing route contracts, managing airline personnel, buying planes and parts, scheduling departure times, upgrading your equipment, purchasing oil for fuel, and the general micro-management mayhem that comprises this game.
