ABOUT US

Lion Group Virtual Airlines (LGVA) is a virtual airline established in 2017 and operating exclusively on the Infinite Flight platform. We are home to a dedicated and collaborative community of pilots, offering a realistic flying experience based on real-world Lion Group routes across Asia and Africa. Our vision is to build a friendly, well-organized, and excellence-driven community where every member can thrive through shared passion in aviation.


Lion Group Virtual Airlines is pleased to present the Hajj Season Fly-In Event at King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah (OEJN). This event replicates the real-world surge in air traffic during Hajj, when vast numbers of pilgrims travel from around the world to one of the busiest seasonal aviation hubs.

Hajj is an annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca that draws millions of pilgrims from around the world. To accommodate this influx, airlines operate dedicated Hajj flights with enhanced capacity and frequency to major hubs like Jeddah. These operations require coordinated international traffic management, charter services, and intensive scheduling, making the Hajj season one of the most challenging periods in the aviation industry. :airplane::kaaba:

In practical operations, a significant share of Hajj traffic is managed through dedicated terminals, designed to handle large numbers of pilgrims and widebody aircraft. Pilots are advised to utilize these stands when planning arrivals and parking, particularly for long-haul and high-capacity flights.

This is optional, as pilots can select any available gates or parking stands depending on traffic conditions or personal preference. The goal is to provide guidance that enhances immersion and realism while maintaining flexibility for all participants.
