SHORT DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build your airline from the dawn of the Jet Age into the future. Choose your
home city, expand your fleet, launch profitable routes, outmaneuver rivals, 
and manage staff and alliances as you grow from a regional carrier into a global 
aviation empire—in the spirit of classic strategy games.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Included at launch:
- 3 single-player scenarios (1950–1990), around 6–10 hours of strategy

  and build across 120+ cities
- Local hot-seat multiplayer for 2–4 players on one screen
- Flight School tutorial
- Steam Achievements and controller support, plus an experimental TV Mode

Early Access roadmap (current development targets; may change):

  multiplayer and Open Skies.
- February 2027, Update 2: two more large scenarios, expanding the timeline to
  cover 1950–2047.
- Version 1.0: release timing and details to be announced.

Also planned: aircraft from additional eras, a larger Open Skies world with more
ways to configure your own scenarios, and deeper local multiplayer options.

Expected duration:     Approximately 10 months
Pricing:               We plan to raise the price gradually as new content and
                       features ship.
