description Pocket Planes Overview

Pocket Planes is a business simulation game developed by NimbleBit and released for iOS devices in 2012. Players manage a growing airline, coordinating flight routes, purchasing aircraft, and transporting passengers and cargo using a pixel-art interface. The game utilizes freemium mechanics, where tasks unfold in real-time, encouraging players to return periodically to check on their fleet. It was developed following the success of the studio's previous mobile title, Tiny Tower.

How do you make money efficiently in Pocket Planes?

Flights become more profitable when passengers and cargo with the same destination are grouped to earn the game's load bonus. Building routes around a few connected hub airports also reduces empty or poorly matched flights.
