Campaign
Nine missions, each adding one part of the job: pushback, arrivals, go-arounds, holds, departure times, wind shifts, emergencies and fuel. Earn up to three stars on each, then the missions keep getting busier.
Run the tower
A small airport, a lot of traffic, and you in charge. Hold arrivals, land them, push departures back and get them airborne, one tap at a time.

Free on iPhone, iPad and Android. $5.99 on Mac, with no ads.
Follow a flight through your airport
Every aircraft passes through your hands twice: once coming in, once going out. Each step is a tap on its flight strip.
Nobody lands without you
Arrivals burn fuel while they wait. Park them in the holds, then bring them in in the right order. Low on fuel, a pilot calls PAN PAN, then MAYDAY. Run one dry and the game is over.
Holds fill up
Three holding slots to start, up to six as your airport grows.
The wind turns
A countdown warns you before runway 27 becomes 09. Departures stop until you taxi them to the new end.
Runways close
After a bad landing, fire crews close the runway. Anything on final has to go around.
Two ways to play
Endless
Traffic builds with every arrival until something gives. String actions together for a combo of up to three times the points, and chase your best score on Game Center.
Plays in English, 繁體中文 and 日本語. Upgrade your airport with more gates, tugs, holding slots and a second runway.
Thirty seconds of a shift
Every mission, three stars
Stuck on a mission? Each one has a walkthrough video, with the plan written out beside it.
Learn the tower
- Your first shiftHow a flight moves through Mini Airport, from the hold to the gate and back to the sky, and the order to do things in on your first shift.
- Holds and fuelUse the LIMES and RIVMI holds well, read the fuel calls, and keep the congestion meter down so arrivals never collide or run dry.
- PushbackMaster the pushback: when to call a tug, how the tug view works, which way to face, and what happens if you push the wrong way.
- The runwayKeep one aircraft on the runway at a time, know when to call a go-around, and handle emergencies and wind shifts without losing control.
- DelaysHow scheduled departure times work, what fills the DELAYS meter, and how to keep every flight on time.
- Three starsWhat each star needs in Mini Airport's campaign, what each mission teaches, and how to score high enough for the second star.
- High scoresTraffic keeps building in endless mode. Here's how to pace the early game, build your streak and survive the rush.
Before you take the job
Is Mini Airport free?
On iPhone, iPad and Android it's free, with ads. Android also sells Remove Ads and optional coin packs; on iPhone and iPad in-app purchases are coming soon. The Mac version costs $5.99 and has no ads or in-app purchases.
Do I need to know anything about air traffic control?
No. Every instruction is one tap on a flight strip, and the nine campaign missions add one part of the job at a time, starting with a single pushback.
Which languages can I play in?
English, Traditional Chinese and Japanese. The game follows your device's language, and you can change it in Options. The radio calls stay in English, as they do in real air traffic control.
Which devices does it run on?
iPhone and iPad from the App Store, Android phones and tablets from Google Play, and Mac from the Mac App Store.
I'm stuck on a mission. Where can I get help?
Every campaign mission has a three-star walkthrough video with the plan written out beside it, and the strategy guides cover holds, pushback, the runway and delays. For anything else, email hello@miniairportgame.com.
