The verdict

This is the rare City set that gives you a proper jet AND the busy little world that services it, and the ground crew choreography is what won me over.

The catering truck that rises to meet the door and the pushback tug that clicks on and off are genuinely satisfying to play with. It is not cheap for a City set, and the tail and doors have some real weaknesses, so temper your expectations on the fine details. For a family that wants big, swooshable airport play, though, it delivers.

Best for: families wanting a full airport play scene, not a display-shelf jet

The full review

What it is

I have a soft spot for LEGO City planes, but most of them are just a fuselage and a couple of passengers. This one is different, and the ground crew is what got me. You are not only building a jet, you are building the whole choreography that surrounds it: the airstair rolling up to the door, the apron bus ferrying passengers, the pushback tug nudging the plane back from the gate, and a catering truck that actually rises to meet the cabin. The first time I ran the catering truck up to the door and it lined up at the right height, I grinned. It is a small mechanism, but it makes the tarmac feel alive in a way a static plane never does. The jet itself is a good size too, around 47cm long, big enough to swoosh with both hands and roomy enough inside for a cockpit, seats, an aisle and even a little toilet.

The catch

I will be straight with you about where it wobbles, though, because the reviews are consistent on this. The passenger door is the weak spot. It does not seat properly and snaps off at the slightest pressure, which is maddening on a set aimed squarely at kids who will be handling it constantly. Some builders reported the wings and side panels loosening too, so this is not a plane that shrugs off rough play. Then there is the look. The engines are enormous and read as cartoony to a lot of people, the lime-green accents divide opinion, and the V-shaped tail is the detail everyone snags on because real airliners simply do not look like that. And for the money, the per-piece value sits on the higher end for City, so you are partly paying for size and vehicles rather than raw part count.

Who it's for

So who should get this. If you or the kids in your life want a full airport scene with vehicles buzzing around a proper jet, this is one of the most playable City sets going, and the tarmac action genuinely stands out. If you are an adult builder hunting a sleek airliner for a shelf, or you are fussy about realistic proportions, the engines and tail will nag at you and there are better display planes elsewhere. And if the household is hard on their toys, go in knowing that door is going to test your patience.

What works

The catering truck lifts and lowers to meet the plane door, and the pushback tug connects and disconnects cleanly, which adds tarmac action no earlier City plane had
Genuinely generous contents for the theme: a big jet plus airstair, apron bus, pushback tug, catering truck and baggage truck
Nine minifigures covering pilots, ground staff and passengers, plus wingtip lights in correct red-and-green

Worth knowing

The passenger door fits poorly and pops off at the lightest touch, and some builders found the wings and panels prone to falling apart
The oversized lime-green engines read as cartoony to a lot of people, and the V-shaped tail looks unrealistic
At its price the per-piece value is on the high side for City, and neither the wings nor the stabilizers have moving surfaces

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

The build runs across six numbered bags and takes a few hours, which is a satisfying afternoon rather than a marathon. It is classic City construction, approachable enough for the 7-plus age rating but with enough going on in the vehicles to keep an adult engaged. The plane comes together in familiar fuselage-and-wing sections, and the little service vehicles are where the cleverness hides: the catering truck's rising platform and the pushback tug's connector are the moments that feel designed rather than just assembled.

The standout elements are the large curved fuselage and wing pieces that give the jet its shape, plus the wingtip lights done in the correct red on the right and green on the left, a lovely accurate touch. There are no headline new molds or rare printed rarities here that parts hunters will chase, so this is not a set you buy for the bricklink-bait. What you are really paying for is bulk and specialty aircraft panels in one box, which makes it a decent source of large white curved parts and a full fleet of small vehicle builds, even if the value per piece is not the strongest in the City lineup.

Fun facts

01The set introduced tarmac vehicles new to City plane sets, including a catering truck that raises and lowers to meet the cabin door and a pushback tug that connects and disconnects from the aircraft.
02The wingtips carry lights in the real-world navigation colours: red on the right wing and green on the left, matching how actual aircraft are lit.
03It launched on 1 September 2023 at a recommended price of $119.99 and, at 913 pieces with 9 minifigures, is one of the larger City airport sets of its year.
04The V-shaped tail became the most-discussed design choice in reviews, with builders noting no real passenger airliner is configured that way.
