Tower! Simulator 3: NZAA Airport

The Tower! Simulator 3 - NZAA Airport DLC was developed and published by FeelThere, and it was released on 17 July 2025. It is distributed as add‑on content for the PC version of Tower! Simulator 3.

This expansion recreates Auckland Airport (ICAO: NZAA / IATA: AKL), the main international gateway for New Zealand. In the game, players manage operations at what is described as the busiest single‑runway airport in Oceania. The DLC captures both the International and Domestic terminals, with a detailed gate layout — including stands capable of handling large aircraft (even wide‑body jets), bus gates for remote stands, and multiple remote parking positions. The simulation includes realistic taxiways, apron operations, and the flow typical for a mixed domestic and international hub, aiming to deliver a faithful representation of Auckland’s airport environment.

In promoting the NZAA DLC, FeelThere highlighted the airport’s importance as a central hub for flights across Oceania and beyond. The marketing focused on the challenge of operating a busy single‑runway airport handling a mix of domestic (regional) and international traffic, the detailed terminal and gate modelling, and the immersive ground‑layout realism. It was presented as a unique addition for players who want to experience ATC work in a non‑European or non‑North‑American environment, adding geographic variety to the game’s roster of airports.

At launch, the DLC had only one user review, reflecting very limited community feedback so far. This means there is not yet a clear consensus on how well the airport has been received. Nonetheless, for players interested in managing realistic airport operations in a major international hub outside the usual Western‑hemisphere settings, the NZAA DLC offers a distinctive and potentially rewarding simulation experience.
