Tarmac Tycoon runs on iPhone and is played in landscape. Check the App Store listing for the current minimum iOS version and storage requirements.

No. Tarmac Tycoon is fully single-player and plays offline — you can run your whole airline with no connection. An internet connection is only used to load ads.

The game is free to play. Optional purchases add cosmetic extras (custom liveries and office decor) or a one-time Founder's Edition that removes ads — never anything that affects gameplay or the leaderboard. Ads are limited and gentle: an optional one you can choose to watch for arcade tokens, plus a single ad after the in-game newspaper every other night later in the game.

On a new device or after reinstalling, open the Founder's Club / Store screen in the game and choose Restore Purchases. Purchases are tied to your Apple ID, so sign in with the same Apple ID you used to buy them.

Tarmac Tycoon uses a single save slot stored on your device. Starting a new game overwrites it (we show a confirmation first), and an overwritten save can't be recovered. If something else went wrong, email us with your device model and roughly when you last played and we'll help.

Email us with the steps that triggered it and a screenshot if you have one — the more specific, the faster we can fix it. Include your device model and the app version shown at the bottom of the title screen.
