SkyChart: Airline Executive

SkyChart: Airline Executive puts you in the CEO's chair of a fledgling airline, competing against 35+ AI rivals across four historical eras (1930–2020). Plan routes between 150 cities across 7 world regions, manage a fleet of 33 historically accurate aircraft from the DC-3 to the 787, and navigate 60+ scripted world events, including WWII, the oil crises, deregulation, 9/11, and COVID-19.

Every era presents a different strategic challenge. The 1930s demanded survival with propeller planes and limited capital. The jet age rewards aggressive hub-and-spoke expansion. The modern era is a cutthroat war of pricing, alliances, and hostile acquisitions.

The game features a fully draggable, resizable window-based UI with a Strategic Advisor that analyzes over 110,000 city pairs, full controller support for Steam Deck and consoles, a built-in music player with Spotify integration, and quarterly financial reporting with route-level analytics. SkyChart combines deep systems with intuitive design — the kind of game that makes you lean back in your chair and think, "I built this network."
