==Types of Worlds==
There are typically three kinds of game worlds running at any time: Open, Realistic, and Special. These worlds are accessible once logged in to your forum account.[http://www.airlineempires.org/index.php?app=ae]

'''Open Worlds'''
* Open worlds are defined by worlds that start with the letter 'O' (e.g., O1, O2, O3).
* There are no restrictions or political boundaries limiting where an airline can fly--i.e., airlines can fly any city-pair in the world as well as open a hub and build terminals at any airport in the world.
* Each airline can lease up to 40% of all gates at an airport, or 75% if it's a hub.

'''Realistic Worlds'''
* Realistic worlds are defined by worlds that start with the letter 'R' (e.g., R1, R2, R3).
* Airlines can only open hubs and terminals in the country they start operations in; airlines that start operations in an European Union nation can build terminals at any airport located within the European Union.
* Airlines cannot operate routes in which the departure and arrival airport is outside their home country; this restriction is lifted for those that operate in an European Union nation after the round has reach the year 2000.
* Airlines may further be restricted to flying to certain countries due to political restrictions. ([[List of all political restrictions]])
* Each airline is limited to leasing 10 gates at an airport (or 25 if it's a hub). Further expansion requires building a terminal.

'''Special/Theme World'''
* Special/theme worlds are defined by worlds that start with the letter 'S' (e.g., S1, S2, S3).
* Special/theme worlds operate with a special restriction such as a hub limit, using propeller planes only, high employee salaries, etc.
* For additional information about special/theme world currently in progress, consult the Announcements forum. [http://www.airline-empires.com/index.php?/forum/6-announcements/]
