Air Honcho

This board needs a wider screen.

Turn your device sideways and it will fit. On a desktop, widen the window.

It is a game of dense tables and a world map — the kind of thing that wants room, like the annual report it is pretending to be.

New game

You have just been made chief executive of Air Honcho, an airline that does not exist yet.

There is money in the bank, a name on the door, and nothing in the air. What you do with that is the game.

The job: Lease or buy aircraft, open sectors between cities, and set what you charge. Everything here is a decision a board actually takes — fleet, network, pricing, debt. Nobody asks you to roster a crew.
A turn: One quarter. Nothing is timed; think as long as you like.
You win: By being the most valuable carrier in the sky when the horizon closes — or sooner, if every rival is bankrupt or bought.
You lose: By running out of cash, or by letting a rival buy a controlling stake in you. Both are real endings.
The competition: You start alone. Rivals arrive over the years — a low-cost operator undercutting everyone, a legacy carrier defending a fortress hub, a state-backed flag carrier that can afford to lose money, a roll-up artist buying whoever is weakest. They come sooner the better you do.

Era Present day Start 2026. A clear runway — 25 years, no scripted history. History, 2000 Start 2000. Live through 9/11, 2008 and COVID. New aircraft arrive as the decades turn. 50 years.

Difficulty Easy Busier markets, more cash, a smaller and gentler field. A forgiving first game. Medium The standard game, tuned and balanced. Recommended. Hard Thinner traffic, less runway. A bigger field arrives sooner and fights harder.
