This issue has now been mitigated as per the patch notes below...

Good day, airport CEO! It's been a while since we last corresponded but today we're breaking the silence with a small quality of life update: Airport CEO 1.0-39! As you will see per the below patch notes, this update mainly solves a few extremely rare issues that have come across our backlog per your bug reports over the last half year. Since Airport CEO is, as of over a year ago, fully out of early access we're not working on any additional major features but there are still a few lingering aircraft models that are being prepared for their maiden V1 and rotate. And while they're not deployed with this update; you can rest assure that we have not forgotten them!Here's what's changing with this update...

Release notes - Version 1.0-39

Bug

MERCURY-46425: Extremely rare exception in person movement system can cause passengers to get stuck on the wrong floor
MERCURY-46416: Some projects can in rare instances have a lower max assignable admins amount than the minimum assignable amount
MERCURY-46413: Flight planner does not always load correctly after closing the fligjht planning panel while dragging a flight

While it's currently quite quiet over at Apog Labs, we're still burning the midnight oil. After feeling a bit of an early access communications burnout, communiqués from us has had a bit of a break as we've put our heads down and focused on the development of a new thing. But we'll be taking a break from that break later this summer via a studio update on the Apog Labs website, detailing some of the things we've occupied ourselves with during the first half of this year.Until then... fly safe!

Hello airport CEO!

We hope you're doing well and that you're staying safe. Today, Airport CEO celebrates one year since the 1.0 release and because of that we'll be running Airport CEO and all DLCs at 50% off throughout the weekend starting 19:00 CET! We're also launching Airport CEO 1.0-37 which is a super small update that mainly fixes a rare occurrence of certain aircraft in certain instances requesting the wrong type of fuel. Here's the change log for this update...

Release notes - 1.0-37

Bug

MERCURY-45940: Certain aircraft can in rare instances not request to expected fuel type (especially BAE 146 requesting Avgas fuel)
MERCURY-45668: New project button can in very rare instances still be active even if all projects are completed
MERCURY-45630: Bug report version not correctly set

We are currently mainly focusing on Project Venus, the working title of and the next Apog Labs project but there are still a few aircraft left to be implemented in Airport CEO; we have not forgotten about those! However, since we are for the moment mainly occupied with the future of the studio these are put on very low priority but will hopefully make it into the game sometime before the start of the summer.Thanks for reading and stay safe!

Unique engine placements, see through nose cones and raw power! Those are just a few of the components that summarize the eastern aircraft, birds rarely seen flying in the west yet special enough to leave a mark in the aviation history. Including the Tupolev Tu-114, the world’s fastest and most powerful commercial prop aircraft, the Airport CEO Beast of the East DLC contains a total of four different aircraft models significant to the eastern aviation history.Downloading this DLC will add the eastern aircraft to the new eastern airlines Yuri Air and Сибирские авиалинии (Siberian Airways).This aircraft pack DLC marks the final release of the planned aircraft packs as of the 1.0 launch. Airport CEO has since its launch always contained loads of western aircraft and we're today happy to include at least a few eastern types, completing the representation of the aircraft and aviation history in ACEO.

Spooky hello-ween, airport CEO!It's been a few weeks since we last spoke and a lot has happened since but we're back once again with another minor quality-of-life update of Airport CEO! This time it's time for 1.0-30 which again primarily addresses a few fringe case bugs along with some other very minor improvements but most importantly it addresses the bugged bug reporting system and brings that back to full functionality. But first...

We're now Apog Labs

As of October 15th 2021, our company’s legal entity name has changed to Apoapsis Game Laboratories AB but we will be known as Apog Labs. Other than this change, nothing will change in regards to how we develop, maintain and support our past and future products.

You can read more about the name change here.

[/list]As you can see, there's not only been changes made to the game but also to the bugs themselves. They are now labeled as "MERCURY" instead of "ACEO" as we've named our games in the order of planets in our solar system. We'll see how many we get to.Anyway, that's it for now. We're currently focusing mostly on the development of the next Apog Labs game but there are some minor things cooking for Airport CEO as well! But until then, have a spooky Halloween and...Fly safe!

Update 10/29/2021

We have received reports about the newest MacBook Pro with the M1X (pro) chips not parsing text in Airport CEO correctly. This bug has been fixed on the experimental branch of Airport CEO and will be available as part of a default release later this coming week.

Good afternoon, airport CEO!

We hope you're doing well on those hot summer tarmacs. Today we're releasing version 1.0-27 with just two minor but still important new features. In a response to some feedback we've been reading across the different ACEO platforms, conveyor belts can now be built on the lower floors without the need of having acquired the multi-floor permit first. This is in response to some valid criticism on the challenges of starting out constructing that first conveyor belt system and we couldn't agree more as this change will now make that starting phase a bit more frictionless. We've also implemented the ability to change the color of the mouse pointer as that default yellow can be a bit difficult to interact with for some users.

Release notes - 1.0-27

New feature

ACEO-44257 Mouse pointer color can now be changed

Improvement

ACEO-44239 Underground baggage belts can now be built without having acquired the multiple-floor permit

Fly safe!

Props, small jet engines and quirky fuselages! Those are just a few of the components that summarize the golden age of flying, a time when traveling was just as glamorous as the leg room and gourmet meals served onboard. While the golden age of flight primarily lasted between the 1950s and 1960s, the Airport CEO Vintage DLC contains a total of seven different aircraft models typically flown between the 1930s and 1980s.

Downloading this DLC will add the vintage aircraft to new, vintage versions, of the Maple, Nordic, Tulip, OK Air and Swiftly airlines.
