About Us
America West Virtual Airlines is structured similarly to the now-defunct real world airline, America West! We operate the CRJ-200 (Generic), the ERJ 175 (U.S. Airways), the Airbus A320 (U.S. Airways), and most importantly, the luxurious Boeing 757 (America West)! We are a small, but expanding community of aviation enthusiasts and we would love to welcome you on board! We serve routes all over America, Canada, and Mexico from our two hubs, Phoenix Sky Harbour International Airport and the Las Vegas McCarran International Airport. You can find a list of our routes HERE!

Fill out all applicable boxes and submit the application. Wait for a response from one of our staff members! We recommend watching an aviation-themed movie while you wait! ;)
-
A staff member will invite you to our Slack server where you will be given an orientation.

You will then take a short ten-question test to assess your knowledge of IFR and VFR flight and ATC communication. Depending on how you do on this test, you will either be admitted into our training program or sent to a check ride.
-
Once you’ve passed your check ride, you are officially part of our team of pilots and will be free on your own!
