4 Years have passed
Fours years have flown by, and we’re so grateful for our members contributions to the virtual airline. Each and everyone’s dedication, positive attitude, and teamwork have made a lasting impact on us all - allowing us to continue enjoying the flying also tomorrow, even we might not always know where the next waypoint is located. We are doing this together, supporting each other with one solid purpose - Having fun, but professional, moments in the virtual cockpits with our friends: knowing they will be there, even when the real World throws hailstorms and snow blizzards at us.
This is for you, for every pilot, ATC controller and staff member, who has been part of us on this 4 year journey - Thank You !
A Magnificent VA experience with something for everyone. Excellent selection of routes/ codeshares, regular events and challenges offering a consistently fresh feel. Definitely a VA that thinks outside the box. 10/10. Well done. - @AndrewGraham
As far back as I can remember, I joined Finnair Virtual almost a year ago, on the occasion of the real-world airline’s anniversary. I became part of a family-like community, where I felt welcomed, where I built my virtual pilot experience, where I grew up and began my journey with IFATC. I made Finnair Virtual my home. And yes, we had experienced some epic, moving moments that will remain engraved in my mind forever. How can a virtual community generate so much emotion? Well, maybe the Nordic effect? In any case, I really love this family. Come and join us! - @Georges_Maxwell
I’ve been with Finnair Virtual for slightly under a year now. Looking back, I’ve truly enjoyed my time here. The community here is professional yet friendly. Every group flight gives me a sense of camaraderie with my fellow virtual pilots. With unique events week in and out, you can take your pick based on your real life schedule. For solo flyers (like me), don’t worry! You can take your pick from any of the featured routes of the week to boost up your virtual flying hours. Hope to see more new faces! - @Donny_Ng
