Game Description
Short Description
SkyChart: Airline Executive is a deep, historically-driven airline management simulation starting in 1930 with the flying boats of the propeller age and extending through the A380 era into open-ended late-game play. Built in Godot 4 by Casey Jones Labs, it is the spiritual successor to Aerobiz that fans have been waiting 30 years for.
Long Description
SkyChart: Airline Executive puts you in the CEO's chair of a fledgling airline, competing against 35+ AI rivals across five historical eras starting in 1930 plus open-ended late-era play. Plan routes between 496 cities across 7 world regions, manage a fleet of 84 aircraft spanning the Douglas DC-3 through the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and into speculative late-era designs reaching 2095, and navigate 60+ scripted world events including WWII, the oil crises, deregulation, 9/11, and COVID-19.
Every era presents a different strategic challenge. The 1930s demand survival with propeller planes and limited capital. The jet age rewards aggressive hub-and-spoke expansion. The modern era is a cutthroat war of pricing, alliances, and hostile acquisitions.
The game features a fully draggable, resizable window-based UI with a Strategic Advisor that analyzes over 122,000+ city pairs, full controller support for Steam Deck and consoles, a built-in music player with Spotify integration, and quarterly financial reporting with route-level analytics. SkyChart combines deep systems with intuitive design, the kind of game that makes you lean back in your chair and think, "I built this network."
