Update Notes for 6 Feb 2026

06 Feb 2026Developer post

Gameplay: Added two new passenger airlines.
Gameplay: Added passenger families. Some passengers will now be part of a family and they will move through the airport together. As a family will checkin and pass immigration together, this has a slight improvement in the time it takes for all passengers to reach their gate. There is also a slight improvement in performance as we don’t have to calculate every passenger’s path fully independently.
UI: Family members will often have the same family name, depending on their nationality. For some nationalities, children will take family names from both parents (e.g., for Spanish families).
Gameplay: When an aircraft is ready to board, all passengers stand up simultaneously. While this is less realistic, there is a slight improvement in the boarding time (the previous behaviour was that passengers would standup at staggered times). Similarly, when passengers are called from restaurants, cafes, lounges, etc., they will not stagger and will all move at once.
UI: Apron Buses now show the number of passengers that they are carrying on when selected.
