+

* 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]])

* 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.
 +
