*Set:Stage2mobile:* To move around the map, tap anywhere and drag it in any direction.
*Stage3desktop:* Use the mouse wheel or Q and E to control map scale. Give it a try.
*Stage3mobile:* To zoom in, tap the screen with two fingers and spread them apart. To zoom out, move your two fingers towards each other. Try it out!
*Stage4:* Tap the circular Frankfurt city icon. Passengers are already arriving at the airport!
*Stage5:* Here's a list of cities where passengers want to fly. If the number of passengers waiting for a flight exceeds the airport's capacity, you lose. Tap anywhere outside of the airport pop-up to close it.
*Stage6desktop:* Click on Frankfurt and move your cursor to Berlin without releasing the left mouse button. You can see the cost of building this route near the line.
*Stage7:* As soon as a plane arrives in the destination city, you earn money. The amount you have is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.
*Stage8:* The icons of cities and airplanes will change in color depending on passenger occupancy. {0} stands for empty, and {1} stands for full. You can change colors using the 'Colorblind mode' option in the settings."
*Stage9:* There's never enough money to connect every city to each other, but we can open routes with transfers. Connect Hamburg and Berlin.
*Stage10:* Good job! Note that now passengers who want to get from Hamburg to Frankfurt will transfer in Berlin because there isn't a direct flight. This means the Berlin airport's load will increase. You only receive money when passengers reach their destination.
*Stage11:* Next, join Stuttgart and Frankfurt to connect all the unlocked cities.
*Stage12:* To increase airport capacity, upgrade the airport level. Open Berlin's pop-up and upgrade its airport to Level 2.
*Stage13:* Well done! You can do the same with airplanes. Each level will increase their capacity and speed.
*Stage14:* Select any plane and level it up. But choose wisely! The load on the entire network depends on your decision!
*Stage15desktop:* Click the dotted line of a route to see its name and the planes flying it. When you click the airplane icon, you'll move to it. Planes and routes can be sold for half the price.
*Stage15mobile:* Tap the dotted line of a route to see its name and the planes flying it. When you tap the airplane icon, you'll move to it. Planes and routes can be sold for half the price.
*Stage16:* Another way to improve your network's performance is by increasing the number of planes. Choose any route and buy a new plane.

*Stage18desktop:* If you don't know where a territory is located, click the timer with the name and you'll be moved to it. To unlock a territory, click its surface.
*Stage19:* It looks like you don't have enough money to unlock a new territory. You can skip some time by increasing the game speed. But be careful, airports will also fill up faster! Try speeding up now.
*Stage20:* Once you earn enough money, set the time speed back to normal, choose the territory and unlock it.
*Stage21desktop:*You'll see messages from time to time when new cities are unlocked and when an airport is almost full. These cases require your attention. To move to the city, click the message.
