Airplane Tycoon: First Class
In 2001, two years after its German release (and three years after the series' inception), Airline Tycoon First Class was the first installment to be released in English by Monte Cristo. As it was the first game in the series to be released in the United States and the United Kingdom, the publisher decided to remove First Class subtitle from the game box and manuals, though it remained in-game. Features added in First Class include ten brand new missions, multiplayer mode with up to 4 players, new MIDI music, cargo transportation and more.

About This Game
As manager of an airline competing against three other tycoons — Tina Cortez, Siggi Sorglos, Igor Tuppolevsky, and Mario Zucchero — the player must keep aircraft in serviceable condition, equip them to passenger satisfaction, buy new planes from the Airplane Agency or cheaper older models from Mr. Schlauberger at the museum, take out bank loans when needed, manage personnel, plan routes, buy fuel, attend meetings, and occasionally stop by Rick's café. Sabotage is an available competitive tactic if the situation calls for it.
