Terms of Use

My Airport Tycoon: Idle Empire · Last updated: 5 November 2026

1. Accepting these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and devbynight about the My Airport Tycoon: Idle Empire mobile game and these pages. Earlier versions of the app, published as Runway Traffic: Ground Control, are covered too. By installing or playing the game you accept these terms, together with our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please uninstall the game.

There is no minimum age to play. If you are under the age of majority where you live, ask a parent or guardian before playing or making any purchase. Parents and guardians are responsible for a child's use of the game and for purchases made on their accounts.

2. Your licence

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and play the game on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment. You may not:

• sell, rent, sublicense or redistribute the game or any part of it;
• reverse engineer, decompile or modify it, or distribute a modified version, including one with ads removed or purchases unlocked, except where the law does not allow this to be restricted;
• generate fake ad impressions or clicks;
• use devbynight's names, logos or artwork to suggest we endorse you.

Recording and streaming your own play, including in monetised videos, is welcome. No permission needed.

3. Your account

The game creates a guest account for you automatically. You may link it to Google or Apple to keep your airport across devices. You are responsible for the device and sign-in you use. A guest account that is not linked will be lost if you uninstall the game or change phones. You can delete a linked account at any time in Settings → Account → Delete account; a deleted cloud save, and anything only it held, cannot be restored.

4. Cash, gems and items

In-game cash, gems, boosts, outfits, passes, airline partners and other in-game items (“virtual items”) are a licence to use content inside the game. They are not real money, have no cash value, cannot be exchanged, sold or transferred outside the game, and are not your property. In-game dollar amounts are play money. We may change how virtual items are earned, priced or used to keep the game balanced.

5. In-app purchases

The game offers optional purchases such as gem packs, a Starter Pack, Remove Ads, a Season Pass and a Piggy Bank. They are sold and billed by the App Store or Google Play under their terms, at the price shown in your local currency before you confirm.

• Consumable items, such as gem packs, are used up as you spend them. Non-consumable items, such as Remove Ads, can be restored with Settings → Restore purchases on the same store account.
• Remove Ads removes banner, interstitial and app-open ads. Optional rewarded videos stay available.
• Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies. Nothing here takes away any right to a refund your local law gives you.

6. VIP subscriptions

VIP Week (renews weekly) and VIP Membership (renews monthly) are optional auto-renewing subscriptions. While one is active you get its listed benefits, including double income, no banner, interstitial or app-open ads, and daily gems. The price is shown in the game before you confirm.

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account when you confirm.
• A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The renewal is charged within 24 hours before the period ends.
• You can manage or cancel at any time in your Apple ID or Google Play account settings. Deleting the app or your game account does not cancel a subscription. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the current period.

7. Fair play

Do not use bots, cheats, automation or modified clients, or exploit bugs, to gain cash, gems or items. We may correct progress or items obtained that way, and may suspend access to online features for accounts that break these terms. Airport and player names must not be offensive, hateful or sexual, or impersonate anyone.

8. Advertising

The game shows ads from Google AdMob and its partners. Ad content comes from third parties. We request only general-audience ads, but we do not write, choose or control what is shown. Rewarded videos are optional, and the reward is given only when the video is watched to the end. How advertising uses data is explained in the Privacy Policy.

9. Ownership

The game, including its code, artwork, characters, sounds, and the name “My Airport Tycoon: Idle Empire”, belongs to devbynight and is protected by copyright and other laws. These terms give you only the licence in section 2.

The cities, landmarks and aviation terms in the game are used for flavour. The game is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any airline, airport, aircraft maker, aviation authority or other game.

10. Updates and availability

We may update, change or remove features, items, prices and events, and we may rebalance the game. We may require you to install an update to keep playing. The game needs an internet connection and pauses without one; online features may sometimes be unavailable. We may stop offering the game, in which case we will try to give reasonable notice in the game.

11. No warranty

The game is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. We do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. Your statutory consumer rights are not affected.

12. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, devbynight is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for lost progress or virtual items. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid through in-app purchases in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

13. Apple and Google

These terms are between you and devbynight only, not Apple or Google, who are not responsible for the game or its support. Your use must also follow the terms of the store you got it from. If you downloaded the game from the App Store, Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them; Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support, and to the extent the game fails any applicable warranty you may notify Apple for a refund of the purchase price, if any.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living elsewhere, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country. If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
