Skyport Tycoon

Skyport Tycoon scratches the management itch. You build runways, hire staff, juggle flight schedules, and watch numbers slowly climb. There's a lot of menu tapping, and the early game can feel slow, but once your airport is busy it becomes weirdly engaging to keep everything running smoothly.

The interface holds a surprising amount of information on a phone screen without becoming cramped, though a couple of buttons are placed a little too close for comfortable thumbing. Battery use is low since there's not much heavy animation. It's a background-friendly game — the kind you leave running while a plan ticks forward.

It won't blow anyone away, but for fans of the genre it's a solid, chill sim with enough depth to keep you optimising.
