Important: Originally released in May 2021, this game was remade in May 2024, and this page highlights the new version. Despite the update, the old version remains accessible for download to cater to those who are interested.

"The Airline Romance" is a delightful gay romance visual novel following the story of two pilots as they navigate their feelings while flying across the globe and discovering various destinations including Spain, Poland, South Africa, Indonesia, and Singapore. Experience the emotional journey of these two characters as they explore both the world and their hearts in a touching tale of love, self-discovery, and the power of human connection!

Meet Ming, a timid yet determined trainee pilot at Jupiter Airlines. Under the watchful eye of his supervisor, Captain Ian, Ming navigates the challenges of his career while grappling with his ambitions and desires. However, Captain Ian staunchly opposes any hint of romance among crew members, setting the stage for a compelling story of forbidden love and the pursuit of personal growth amidst the turbulent skies of the airline industry.

What if Ian's guarded demeanor stems from a past heartbreak shrouded in the enigmatic history of Sunset West, a once-thriving airline that mysteriously vanished years ago under a veil of secrecy? Could his reluctance to embrace romance be linked to hidden truths about this defunct glamour airline?

As Ming yearns to capture Ian's heart, he finds himself stuck in a web of past stories and secrets that must be unveiled before their relationship can truly take flight. Can Ming navigate the complexities of Ian's guarded past and hidden truths to persuade him that their connection runs deeper than casual intimacy?
