About AirportSim
AirportSim lets players perform authentic ground‑handling duties at faithfully recreated airports. Tasks include aircraft marshalling, GPU connection, fuelling, luggage handling, jetway operation and catering, all built from documented knowledge and staff interviews.
The game features real‑world airport layouts, accurate gate numbers and the ability to follow aviation charts, providing a realistic navigation challenge for both solo and online cooperative play.
01 / THE GUIDE
Real‑life Airports
Airports such as Vagar, Keflavik, Warsaw Chopin and Key West are included, each modeled with true ground layouts, parking spots, lines and gate numbers.
Players can use authentic aviation charts to navigate the airfield, matching real‑world procedures for moving vehicles and aircraft.
- Compare chart with map to avoid errors.
- Observe gate numbers to verify stand.

Licensed Planes
The game includes Airbus A320neo and 737 MAX, each built with cooperation from manufacturers to feature real connection points, door operations and refueling systems.
Sounds, lights and ground‑procedure animations reflect actual turnarounds, and the aircraft respond to the player’s handling of fueling, catering and luggage tasks.
- Listen to sounds to gauge fueling.
- Watch door lights before loading.

Licensed Vehicles
Vehicles range from buses and Goldhofer Bison tow trucks to refuelling, catering and GPU trucks, each with realistic physics, speed limits and functional interiors.
Players must follow proper procedures when operating a 60‑tonne tow vehicle or a baggage cart, mirroring real ground‑handling protocols.
- Watch speed indicator for limits.
- Use interior controls for pump or lift.

Weather and Systems
A detailed weather system uses real‑time METAR data, mapping actual conditions onto the airport environment for added realism.
Players may also manually select weather types, giving control over visibility, wind and precipitation when testing procedures.
- Check METAR overlay for wind.
- Select clear preset for handling practice.
