Airline Tycoon 2: Falcon Airlines

The Falcon Airlines DLC for Airline Tycoon 2 was developed and published by Kalypso Media, the same studio responsible for the base game. It was released in 2012 as part of a series of character-focused expansions that added new playable airline CEOs to the game. This DLC introduced the character of Siggi Sorglos, a meticulous and demanding manager known for his strict adherence to rules and efficiency. His inclusion brought a new dynamic to the game’s competitive airline management environment.

In terms of gameplay, the Falcon Airlines DLC added Siggi’s unique airline, Falcon Airlines, to the roster. Players who chose Siggi gained access to his specific strengths and challenges, which influenced how the airline operated and competed. His personality traits affected interactions with staff, rival CEOs, and the overall strategy needed to succeed. The DLC also included new voice lines, animations, and character-specific missions that expanded the narrative and gameplay variety.

Promotion for the Falcon Airlines DLC was relatively modest, primarily targeting existing fans of Airline Tycoon 2. Kalypso Media announced the release through their official channels and included it in bundles and promotional events alongside other character DLCs. The marketing emphasized the quirky personality of Siggi Sorglos and how his management style could change the gameplay experience. Screenshots and brief character bios were shared to give players a sense of what to expect.

Reception of the DLC was generally positive among the game’s community. Players appreciated the added replayability and the opportunity to explore different management styles through new characters. While the DLC didn’t dramatically alter the core mechanics of Airline Tycoon 2, it was seen as a fun and worthwhile addition for those who enjoyed the game’s humor and strategic depth. Siggi Sorglos became a memorable part of the Airline Tycoon universe, contributing to the game’s charm and character-driven appeal.
