What is Fly Greatcircle?

A free multiplayer airline management game, played in the browser. You start in 1920 with a field, a little money and a two-seat plane with room for a little luggage. A century later you can be flying widebodies across the Pacific.

  • One world, everyone in itEvery airline plays the same map at the same time. A passenger you pick up is one nobody else can carry. A route you drop leaves its passengers to your rivals.
  • Money and reputationThe most profitable flight and the best name are rarely the same. Both are on the leaderboard. Chase either.
  • A hundred years of aircraftBiplanes through turboprops to jets, each arriving around its real-world date. Each type is good at some jobs and bad at others. Paint them in your own colours.
  • A changing worldAirports open and grow, fuel prices swing, governments pay subsidies and weather closes runways. The news reports on it. From the 1960s, seaplane harbours close for good unless someone keeps flying boats there.
  • Play casually or in depthYou learn most of the game by trying things. Play casually and you'll do fine, or tune every route. Race the players on the leaderboard, or sign codeshare agreements with them and split the traffic.
  • Build the airline you wantSeveral strategies make money. Trying them all at once does not.

It's free. There's no premium currency and no timers to pay to skip.
