ERVANAIR is the world's first Islamic-themed airline management and simulation game. It runs free in your browser — no download required. Your goal is simple yet deep: grow a small cargo/passenger carrier into a global aviation empire while following the principles of fair trade and interest-free (halal) finance. This guide walks newcomers through the essentials.
You begin by choosing a home country and founding your company. You start with a modest treasury (✦ Sultani), a couple of aircraft and some debt. Your first objective is to find profitable short routes and stabilize your cash flow. Plan flights from the Flight Room, manage aircraft in the Hangar, and buy new planes at the Market.
Every aircraft has a different range, capacity and cost. Long-haul jets unlock intercontinental income but burn more fuel and maintenance. Neglect your maintenance score and planes break down (AOG), costing you revenue. Smart players run timely A/B/C/D-checks to keep the fleet flying, and build hubs to feed routes from a central point.
Interest-free finance sits at the heart of ERVANAIR. Instead of loans, you grow through partnership:
These mechanics are not just thematic; they are real tools of the in-game economy. Choosing the right partnership at the right time defines your growth rate.
Once your wealth reaches the threshold (nisab), you can pay Zakat. Zakat and humanitarian flights aren't only the "right" thing to do — they grant reputation and a barakah (blessing) multiplier in-game. Generosity opens the door to faster long-term growth. This is ERVANAIR's core philosophy: blessing grows as you share it.
If your share of a market passes 45%, the competition authority steps in with reputation penalties and tender bans. The game discourages monopolies and pushes you toward fair competition. The "Hoca Amca" (wise uncle) character warns and advises you before things get worse.
You compete on a global leaderboard, bid on tenders and balance strategy against rivals. With the Ahi (clan) system you join a guild and earn rewards together in seasonal missions (such as Ramadan, Hajj and Eid al-Adha). Achievements and ranks — from Novice to Legend — crown your progress.
ERVANAIR blends strategy, economy and values into a single game. With support for 23 languages, it's open to players worldwide — and best of all, it's completely free and runs in your browser.
