MSFS 2024 · Open Beta

If you can drag a box, you can build an MSFS airport.

Pick an open spot, lay out a runway in your browser, and turn it into a place your friends can fly in MSFS 2024. Or skip the building and explore what the community has made. The free Windows app keeps those airports in your sim.

STEP 01

Choose your spot

Choose available land on the satellite map. Your first claim is free; additional plots cost in-game Aeros.

STEP 02

Design your airport

Lay out runways and taxiways, place objects from the catalog, paint foliage, and fine-tune your field's bounds.

STEP 03

Build it

Publish your design and we turn it into scenery for MSFS 2024, ready for you and the community to fly.

STEP 04

Install & sync

Install the free client, pick your regions, and it syncs those airports into MSFS 2024 - find them in Free Flight search like any other airport.

Build airports

Start with the runway you wish existed.

Draw your strip on a satellite map. Add taxiways, parking, lights, and the buildings that make it yours. When you're ready, publish it for other pilots to find and fly in MSFS 2024.

Fly and build

Your flying helps build your airport.

Fly with the companion app running and you'll earn Aerosto spend on your field. Visiting other builders' airports earns more. You can keep building without buying currency.

There are no repeatable currency top-ups. The optional $25+ Supporter package includes a one-time 25,000 Aeros grant.

New builders start with 15,000 Aeros and a free Advanced building - plus more for every milestone

Not a career app

There are plenty of great career and economy add-ons out there - we're not here to replace them. Aeros sits alongside whatever you already fly with. Earn here, build here.

  • + FLY

    Earn while you fly

    Bank Aeros for every minute aloft - to and from any airport in the world, not just your own.

  • + DEPTH

    Optional earning boosts

    Supported ATC, charts, career add-ons and hardware can increase your earning rate. Flying with the free companion app is enough to earn Aeros on its own.

  • + TRAFFIC

    Run a destination

    Every pilot who comes to see your field pays you visit income - more as your field's investment grows. Go see theirs: the first ten player-built fields you visit each day pay you a bonus.

  • + AUTO

    Set it and forget it

    The free companion app tracks your flying and syncs your airports in the background. Earn and build without lifting a finger.

Before you fly

A few things to know.

New airports, shared destinations, and room to make something your own. Here's what to expect before you start.

Can I improve an existing MSFS airport?

The current builder creates new airports on available land. A separate utility for editing existing airports is in development. Compatibility with payware scenery and specific editing features will be confirmed as that work is tested.

Do I have to build an airport to take part?

You can join just to fly. Browse the community airports, install the free companion app, and choose the regions you want to sync. You can visit those airports in MSFS 2024 without creating your own.

Do I need paid add-ons to earn Aeros?

Flying with the free companion app running earns Aeros on its own. Supported third-party tools can increase your earning rate, but you do not need them to earn currency or build an airport.

Which simulator and platform do I need?

Flying Project Airports scenery requires Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on Windows and our free companion app. The builder runs in your browser. MSFS 2020 and Xbox are not supported.

What traffic do the new radar boards show?

The tower radar and arrival/departure boards currently show Project Airports traffic. Support for other ATC services and local simulator traffic is planned; those integrations are not available yet.
