Players take control of an airline as it's CEO, and must first select the name, tail logo and home airport of their airline.
The game is turn-based between each airline.
Each airline has four "board members" who can be assigned to perform various tasks, which take varying length to accomplish.
These tasks include buying aircraft, bidding for slots at an airport, buying facilities at an airport and marketing a PR campaign in a region.
Once the player has purchased aircraft, they must further make planning of the route between two airports with available slots.
Once a route is setup, the player is able to manage how many planes fly the route daily and the number of passengers they carry, as well as ticket price.
The game is played over one of two scenarios, each representing a different era.
The game is over when any airline reaches the target money amount.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Air Management '96 for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Air Management '96 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1996.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Air Management '96 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
