We are pleased to announce exciting new opportunities for players to boost their airlines' competitiveness through an array of unique airline upgrades! Do you want to run an airline with single-pilot operations? Why not? Feel like locking onto competitors with firepower typically reserved for the military? You bet. With state-of-the-art air-to-air and surface-to-air missile technology, AE will soon enter an era of unprecedented interactivity. Below is a sample of the options available to your airline:

 

 

To enable these add-ons, players can now purchase AE Coins for use in-game at very reasonable exchange rates. In addition, we are transitioning to Coins for all new and used aircraft purchases. For serious players, strongly suggest buying in bulk for the best deal.

 

 

No PayPal? No problem. Because we realize a large portion of our players do not have access to credit cards, we will have AE gift cards available at popular retail locations worldwide. The next time you're in the Walmart electronics section, why not pick up some AE Coins for family and friends and treat them to that A380 they've always wanted?

Go to your nearest store now!

Good one! 

[Sheepy]

This is utterly deplorable.

 

So much for AE being "free to play".
 

This is an utter disgrace to the game I began playing in 2010. It might not be so flashy then as it is now, but it had soul.

An autoplay feature? Seriously? $22.50 a month so your airline can sit at the top?

I don't know what's worse, the fact that it's been implemented or the fact there'll actually be people sad enough to buy it.

And stuffing MORE people into planes?

The existing limits are already way too high. Sure, 1000 people have been in a 747 before, but they were mostly malnourished Ethiopians!

There's no way 800 westerners are going to fit in a plane. As for 1 pilot...

really.

Just really.

 

We may as well just rename the thing airlineville, if we're going like this.

 

One more thing like this, and I'm off. Gone.

 

You have been warned.

 

I hope you've all checked the date.

I sincerely hope this is just an attempt at an April Fools Joke. Very well thoughtout I have to say, probably one of the better jokes I've seen. Just out of curiosity, how long will these 'upgrades' be in effect?

[sviridovt]

saw this on facebook. Awesome idea for april fools

[Hillary Clinton]

So This is Fake Right? I am now suffering with leasing and buying aircraft. But will this really going to stay forever?

[Will101]

What can I say other than I expected it. I knew what it was from the second I saw it. I think its even better when people starting believing it. +1 Yuxi.

You must be mistaken.

 Just try to buy the Coins... 

[xarxa]

Everyone sells out to Zynga eventually, I guess.

 Just try to buy the Coins... 

It works fine for me?

I'm the proud new owner of 20,000 coins. I just ordered the monthly Yield Management Professionals thing.

Maybe it's broken for you?

[Nexus8]

Nice Job Yuxi

[jamin]

Wow, I thought I had found a cool game where skill and management tactics applied.  I sure hope it's an April Fools thing, otherwise, I am done playing what is now "airlineville" and you can pay to be ranked as a top player...MAJOR FAIL!

[Pineair]

Think there is a glitch with these coin thingies. Recently sold some aircraft but didn't get credited with coins ....only money.

happy april fools
