As one of the most innovating and community-centric virtual airlines, we endeavor when it comes to quality & experience. There’s no doubt as to why you should spread the joy of the Inspiration of Japan!
“We are all familiar with some VAs being set up in a rush because nobody has set it up yet. ANVA is entirely different and prides itself in inclusivity, feedback, and determination to be the best VA out there. As a pilot of a few other VAs, I can honestly say ANVA staff are professional and kind (oh yeah, I just saw that the CEO is called KIND). I witnessed the move from Slack to Discord, and that was smooth and effortless; now they have a very interactive discord server with many useful bots. Other things I like about this VA are their route network and codeshares, plus cargo options…I always find a destination to fly to whether I have only 1 hour of spare time or 12+ hours; and the ease of filing PIREPs [in the new Crew Center].”

"I’ve been in ANVA since August 2020. I remember it being the first VA I joined in Infinite Flight. I was really ecstatic and at the same time curious how Virtual Airlines work in a Flight Simulator game. Maybe it has grown on me but I’m really glad I joined ANVA. It’s a fun and enjoyable VA with helpful and generous staff. The staff at ANVA are incredibly hardworking no matter what the circumstances are. Even if, they knew some things may or may not work out but I can feel that they were determined to actually improve things in the VA for the better. Genuinely, I have enjoyed the routes they offered from the moment I started flying for ANVA. I mostly fly their domestic routes within Japan because I always found airports in Japan quite fun to fly to and fro.
It’s not just the routes but also the atmosphere at ANVA is easy to get into and a new pilot won’t have a hard time in trying to fit in with the crowd. With unique events like the landing challenges and bingo cards, it keeps the pilots engaged and keep their activity up in the VA. I also would like to mention Moots who even with their limited availability, tried their best to give us lessons about anything in Japan. Overall, I’m very happy to be in this VA, and here’s to a more fruitful year for ANVA! Arigato Gozaimasu!"

“Having just recently joined my first VA, I’ve had a great time with this community. Everybody’s been positive and helpful so far, and the events that are hosted are pretty interesting. There’s a good mix of routes and available aircraft to fly, even as a Cadet, which surprised me. I would recommend this VA to anyone interested in joining.”
