With the flick of a switch, I open the doors to general aviation (GA) flights. Sure, it’s currently just a grass field with some dotted lines and markers, but it’s got a lot of heart.
With runway complete and the pathways between all the important bits linked up, I’m now ready to start inviting planes to enjoy my fine airport. I now know what a taxiway is! It’s the bit between the stand and the runway, where the planes have to travel before parking or taking off. After a brief browse of the tutorial checklist, I even start to grasp the fundamentals. This is some impressive work, and I can’t help but feel like my leadership has had something to do with it. And any concerns I had about my 55 new employees quickly vanish as they work tirelessly throughout the day, and the following night.īy 4am on my second day, my workers have constructed a complete runway and four stands where planes can chill out. Since I know what a runway is, I put them to work building that. This gives me 55 workers, which seems like a small amount for my ambitious vision, but we’ll make do. I hire the first one on the list because I’m far too busy to do research. Luckily, you can start small, establishing a tiny local airfield before you start thinking about a sprawling international monstrosity.īefore I can do anything, however, I have to sign a contract with a construction company. Construction, maintenance, retail, passenger comfort, flight schedules - it’s a huge list of tasks. There’s infrastructure to set up, buildings to construct, staff to hire, board seats to fill (after all, what’s a CEO without their CTO, CFO and FFS?) and I’m still trying to figure out what the hell a taxiway foundation is.Īirport CEO dips its toes into pretty much every aspect of running an airport, so there’s a lot to parse. Before I can even accept my first plane, I have a million things to do, and it’s all a bit baffling. Fraser International Airport, run by its CEO Don Bossmann, is going to change the way people think about air travel.Īs I look over the empty plot of land I’ve been given, I start to wonder if I’ve maybe been a little overconfident. Regardless, I think I could improve on it, which is why I establish my first airport literally on top of my home. It’s an awful place, though admittedly it wouldn’t even feature in the top 20 worst airports I’ve found myself trapped in. I live 10 minutes away from Glasgow Airport. I mean, how could anything I run be worse than one of these travel prisons? Frankly, I expect to do such a great job that I’m wondering if this Premature Evaluation is even going to be interesting to read. So of course I’ve decided to make my own airport in Airport CEO.
The huge crowds of people willing to sacrifice their humanity if it means getting on their flight in time the constant, unrelenting announcements and security warnings the forty different meaningless passenger classes the endless, illogical queues - I’m getting a stress headache just thinking about it. I spend an inordinate amount of time in airports, and I loathe them with every fibre of my being. Please don't arrange any flights until he's finished. This week's Premature Evaluation sees Fraser putting on his nicest suit and running an Airport in tycoon and management game Airport CEO.
