Welcome aboard 'Aviation Empire Platinum'

26 January 2017

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and All 4 Games have connected to produce an overhaul of the strategic airline management game Aviation Empire, which invites players to conquer the world by using their business instincts. The introduction of Aviation Empire Platinum is for iOS and Android.

Tjalling Smit, Senior Vice President Digital Air France KLM, stated “KLM launched Aviation Empire in June 2013. Developing a game was a logical next step in KLM's digital evolution as gaming gives us the opportunity to connect to an additional group of customers that might not know KLM yet. I believe that there is still a lot of potential in Aviation Empire, given the fact that the game has been downloaded 1.7 million times already and has been rated with 4+ stars.”

Colin Macdonald, Head of All 4 Games, commented “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with KLM. Aviation Empire is a tactical, addictive game that will appeal to keen aviators and the general population. With the added features of real life GPS check-ins and connecting with friends through social media, it combines the digital world with the real world.”

 

About Aviation Empire Platinum

Aviation Empire Platinum is a 3D strategy game in which players run their own airline. The main challenge is to run a profitable airline and conquer the globe. Players can invest in a well-maintained and up to date fleet, create a lucrative network with international destinations and build airports with all kinds of facilities to make their passengers happy. They can choose to play the game within KLM’s historical timeline, starting back in 1919 the year that KLM operated its first flight, or create their own timeline.

The game has been re-engineered and re-designed from the ground up by Little Chicken, introducing updated graphics and new gameplay, for example new currencies and in-game advertising.
