What Mission 4 asks
Congestion is switched on from Mission 4. Arrivals left roaming around the airspace fill the CONGESTION meter, and at 100% they can collide mid-air. Up to 3 aircraft can wait in the holds.
How to play it
The holds are your buffer. Send every arrival to a hold the moment it appears, then land them one by one in the gaps between departures.
- Tap RIVMI or LIMES on a new arrival's strip straight away. Joining a hold scores 10 points too.
- Keep pushing departures back while arrivals circle: the hold buys you time.
- With 5 gates and 6 flights, push a departure out before the third arrival needs a gate.
Questions
What does the CONGESTION meter do in Mini Airport?
It fills while arrivals roam the airspace without a clearance. At 100% roaming aircraft can collide mid-air. Sending them to a hold keeps it down.
How many aircraft can wait in the holds?
Up to 3 at the start. More holding slots can be bought in My Airport.
