Strategy guides

How the tower works, and how to keep every flight moving when the traffic builds.

• 

  Your first shift

  How 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 fuel

  Use the LIMES and RIVMI holds well, read the fuel calls, and keep the congestion meter down so arrivals never collide or run dry.

• 

  Pushback

  Master 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 runway

  Keep one aircraft on the runway at a time, know when to call a go-around, and handle emergencies and wind shifts without losing control.

• 

  Delays

  How scheduled departure times work, what fills the DELAYS meter, and how to keep every flight on time.

• 

  Three stars

  What each star needs in Mini Airport's campaign, what each mission teaches, and how to score high enough for the second star.

• 

  High scores

  Traffic keeps building in endless mode. Here's how to pace the early game, build your streak and survive the rush.
