The concept of World Tour was first introduced to the VA/VO Community by AFKLM. John370, our current CEO, came up with the idea and the first edition was an immediate success which caused AFKLM to host a total of six separate world tours over the years. Today, the World Tour is our most anticipated event series of the year with thousands of flight hours logged every time. Make sure to follow us here on the IFC and on our our Instagram @afklmvirtual so you don’t miss out on recent developments.

World Tour 7 was brought to you by the World Tour Committee — @hass.ik @John370 @sanketpandia @KJKLM281 @Eagle2703 @Woutopia

The City of Chongqing

We are now 2 days away from the launch of World Tour 7! Today we are highlighting quite an underappreciated destination in IF. A mega-city nestled between high mountains, Chongqing is a one-of-a-kind place often described as ‘cyberpunk’ in appearance. It’s served by the 3D Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (ZUCK) where you can fly the Hainan A333 to and China Southern B752 from!

On our Instagram you can find the latest question of the day, make sure to check it out and join the discussion!

1st place: @Gabyu

The accuracy prize goes to @MattyPhobia who completed the World Tour in 114 hours and 44 minutes, which is 9 minutes above the calculated flight time of 114 hours and 35 minutes.

We have received some very positive feedback on the Tour, with Juneau, Lhasa and Tivat claiming the top spot as favourite destination among almost all pilots who participated. With that knowledge, we will try to create an even better World Tour next time!
