IAG Virtual 9 Year Anniversary - Heathrow and Dublin Fly-in/Fly-out

Presented by IAG Virtual


This is a fully open event, simply react and type down below that you’ll be joining us!

IAG Virtual wants to celebrate the last 9 years with a bang! So we bring you a Heathrow/Dublin fly in event. It’s hard to believe we’ve been a VA for 9 years! Starting from our routes being BAVA, to developing and evolving into a 5 airline group that you see today, with Aer Lingus, Iberia, Vueling and Level added to the mix. Not to mention the long list of codeshare partners we have. We’re constantly striving to be the best VA and community around, with over 250 pilots, logging over 1250 flights and 10,000 flight hours a month, chances are you will not be lost for flights to do in IAG!


Heathrow and Dublin fly-in and out Event

This event is an all day fly-in fly-out where all pilots are welcome to celebrate our 9th birthday! Our pilots will be flying in and out throughout the day. We will also aim to have ATC coverage so that you will head into these famous hubs with professional sequencing and realistic approach patterns. Please have fun and enjoy!

London Heathrow and Dublin airports are major Hubs for British Airways and Aer Lingus respectively. Both operate on a two runway system and have plenty of space for all aircraft from small A320’s all the way up to massive B747’s and A380’s. We can’t wait to see you master these airports like we have!

IAG Virtual or any of its partners are not responsible for any violations received during this event
