Ride With Elegance in the Air

Kalypso Media revealed another character profile for the upcoming Airline Tycoon 2. This time it is superstar with style Natalie Childman. Now taking on the world of air travel, Natalie is very kind, would never think of sabotage or illegal means to get ahead on the competition.  Her airline is always sold out and she has many fans who adore her.

Airline: Kolibri Travel

Motto: Everyone should be able to fly!

Natalie  is  an  'It  Girl'  with  ambitions. Following  the success of her  'All about Valentine' collection, she now wants  to conquer the world as an Airline Tycoon. Despite  her  lack  of  knowledge,  she's making  her  start  with  unwavering optimism.  Since  she  is  a  good  person through and  through, she would never use  illegal  methods  against  her competitors.  Her  machines  are configured in Natalie's own very unique design,  because  her  fans  should ultimately  receive  something  "Natalie"
for  their  money.  She  had  also  once heard  something  or  other  about maintenance,  but  that's  what  she  has her  advisors  for. Whether  it's  curiosity or because they're already fans anyway, Natalie  never  has  problems  finding employees  or  marketing  her  flights. Particularly  in  marketing,  she  has outstanding  connections  to  all  the important  people...  practically  child's play.

Take To The Skies With Torro Aero

Another one of the playable characters in Airline Tycoon 2 was profiled today. Tina Cortez owner of Torro Aero "Business is like a bullfight!" knows what she wants and how to get it. As one of the four characters, Tina's playstyle is more conservative, you must use her penny-pinching and ruthless management skills to be successful. Airline Tycoon 2 is set to launch on October 11th.

Airline-Name: Torro Aero

Motto: Business is like a bullfight!

The tough Spaniard, Tina Cortez, knows exactly what  she wants  and  how  she's going  to  get  it.  After  betting  on  the wrong  horse  in  the  risky  real  estate market,  she  now  wants  to  completely
take  off  again  in  the  airline  business. She  holds  understanding  and  even compassion  in  check;  ultimately,  it's about business. Behind Tina's perfectly styled appearance and her ever-present
smart  phone,  hides  a  calculating businesswoman,  who  does  not  shy away  from  playing  hardball.  And  not just  with  her  competitors:  even employees  and  machines  are  not
handled  particularly  delicately.  The salaries of her employees are squeezed as much as possible and  the minimum maintenance  for  her  machines  is  also good  enough.  Only  budget  airlines
think  like  that.  And with  the  dumping prices,  the  competition  starts  to  look very  old  very  fast.  If  the  employees happen  to  get  too  unhappy,  then  it's better to part with them. Always on the
telephone, Tina is also always on top of things  and  knows  exactly  what  needs to be done.

Tycooning the Airline as Igor Tuppolevsky

Kalyspo Media is bringing the greedy entertainment of Airline Tycoon back for another fly by.  Airline Tycoon 2 is going to feature four playable characters.  Kalypso sent us a package featuring Igor Tuppolevsky, a "business man" you never turn your back on.

Power and money are what Igor crave, nothing will get in the way of this mans goals.  He will dive into a alliance if it serves his own purposes and justify any action if needed.  If he can destroy his competitor to serve his own goals that is all fair game for this tycoon. Happy to provide his customers any luxury they want assuming they are willing to pay for it.  When it comes to his employees and resources he takes a simple approach: "As much as necessary and as little as possible".  He keeps his machines maintained but that as much attention they will receive, his employees are paid as much as they need to do their job well and no more.  Absolute power is Igor's ultimate goal, he wants to play the strings of political pressure and manipulation.  Remember never turn your back on this mogul of the airways.
