Airline Tycoon 2  is the next installment in the  acclaimed business management series - Airline Tycoon. The game sees the player take the reins of an airline which they must bring to financial success. As well as managing staff, buying new aircraft and opening up new air routes, players must deal with crabby passengers and engage in corporate espionage against their competitors.

"We are very pleased that the excellent B-Alive team is our development partner for Airline Tycoon II," said Stefan Marcinek, Global Managing Director of Kalypso Media Group. "This allows Realmforge to address our expanding multiplatform development needs.”

B-Alive, who previously worked on titles including the popular Wildlife Park series, is taking over development, originally handled by Kalypso's internal studio - Realmforge.
