Skyport Tycoon

Skyport Tycoon drops you in charge of a tiny regional airport and slowly lets you grow it into a chaotic hub. You schedule flights, place shops, and try to keep passenger tempers from boiling over while queues snake across the terminal.

The loop is classic management-sim comfort food: expand, optimise, unlock a new tool, expand again. Watching a smooth terminal hum along is oddly satisfying, and the failure states are funny rather than punishing.

It can get repetitive once you've seen the main systems, and some later unlocks feel slow. But as a background game to dip into, it holds up nicely.
