Airline Tycoon is a business simulation game by Thomas Holz and Robert Kleinert, in which the player must successfully manage an airline. The original was developed by Spellbound Entertainment, and published by Infogrames Deutschland, but the succeeding versions were published by a variety of publishers.
The original Airline Tycoon was created for Windows, but the later Deluxe version was also ported to Linux, Mac OS X, MorphOS, ZETA, iOS and Android.
Like other "tycoon" computer games, the objective of the game is to become a tycoon, and in this case, an "Airline Tycoon". This is achieved through the balance of income and expenditures.
