About the game
You are the owner of an airline company flying all over the world. You carry the world's passengers, flying from airport to airport with the airplanes of your own company. You can get many landing rights at the airports at the ECONOMY CLASS. Though the action is slower, you can get higher points in the FIRST CLASS. It is a chance to show your skill to operate the airplanes efficiently and find the best cruising course based on the changing PASSENGER CARDS at the baggage claim! However, your company does not offer service at every airport. To outsmart your rivals and to best satisfy your passengers, it is going to be necessary to apply a code sharing system with other airlines or alliances. In Air Alliance übernehmen die Spieler die Rolle des Managements einer Fluggesellschaft und schicken Flugzeuge und Passagiere um die Welt. Dabei müssen die Spieler abwägen zwischen der Economy-Class, die es leichter macht eine Landeerlaubnis zu erhalten und der First-Class, die zwar viele Punkte bringt, aber unflexibel ist. Auch das Gepäck der vielen Passagierkarten muss geschickt organisiert und Transportiert werden. Nur wer dies alles geschickt handhabt, hat das Zeug zum Topmanager! Allerdings besitzt die eigene Fluggesellschaft alleine nicht alle Flughäfen. Um die Konkurrenz zu überholen und die meisten Passagiere um die Welt zu befördern, muss man Codesharing betreiben und Allianzen gründen. Eine Air Alliance. Vous êtes le propriétaire d’une compagnie aérienne internationale. Vos avions emmènent des voyageurs d’aéroport en aéroport, partout dans le monde. Déciderez-vous de miser sur la classe économique, ouverte à tous les aéroports, ou sur la première classe, certes plus délicate à bien faire fonctionner, mais tellement plus gratifiante ?

Questions and answers
Air Alliance supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Air Alliance is 50–80 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Air Alliance for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Air Alliance has a complexity rating of 2.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
