Run an airline is a Roblox simulation game where you build an airline from scratch and grow it into a worldwide operation. You earn cash from every flight and reinvest it to open new routes, buy bigger aircraft, and climb through career stages. This guide walks you through starting out, expanding your passenger and cargo networks, and working toward the game's toughest long-term goals.
In shortCompleting one passenger flight and one cargo delivery early on sets up two income streams from the start.
The game eases you in by asking you to run a single passenger flight. Once you have done that, try a cargo delivery as well — it unlocks a separate line of business that you can grow alongside your passenger network. Every flight pays cash, which you then put straight back into routes and planes.
Complete your first passenger flightthis teaches you the basic flow of running a route and is the earliest goal the game sets.
Complete your first cargo deliveryit opens up the cargo side of the business so you are not depending on one income source.
Reinvest your earningsuse the cash from those first flights to open more routes rather than letting it sit.
In shortPassenger routes scale with the number you run at once, so steady expansion is the main way to increase cash flow.
Running 10 passenger routes at the same time is the first major milestone, and reaching 50 simultaneous routes is a much bigger one. The game lets you manage fares, service quality, aircraft choice, demand, and route performance for each route, so there is real room to optimise as you grow.
Tips worth knowing
Adjust fares and service levels on each route to find the balance that brings in the most cash.
Check route performance regularly and rework any route that is not pulling its weight.
Work toward 10 simultaneous routes first, then keep building toward 50.

In shortCargo rewards patience — the tonne totals required are large, but bigger freighters make the grind faster.
Cargo is a separate growth track from passengers. Running 10 cargo routes at the same time is the entry milestone. From there, the game tracks the total tonnes you deliver with a single airline, with major checkpoints at 10,000 tonnes and 100,000 tonnes.
Reach 10 simultaneous cargo routes before thinking about tonnage goals.
Own a Boeing 747-8F freighter for a cargo-specific aircraft milestone.
Own an Antonov An-124 freighter for another top-tier cargo milestone.
Set 100,000 tonnes delivered as your long-range cargo target.

Long-term milestones worth planning for
Warn
In shortThe biggest goals in this game take a very long time.
Three goals stand above everything else: completing 1,000 flights with one airline, owning 300 passenger aircraft at the same time, and reaching World-Class Airline, which is the final career stage.
Worth watching out for
Stick to one airline when grinding flight countsthe 1,000-flight milestone is tracked per airline.
Owning 300 passenger aircraft at the same time is one of the hardest milestones in the game.
World-Class Airline is the final career stage, meaning every earlier stage is a stepping stone.
Compete with rival airlines and climb the rankings as you grow.
