G’Day! Welcome to Qantas Virtual Group. We’re Infinite Flight’s most renowned Virtual Airline for the past decade. Ever since our establishment in 2012, we’ve been hard at work creating memories, friendships, and showcasing true Australian hospitality. We’re tremendously proud of the progress we’ve made, and all the QVGians we’ve shaped from the ground up. Now it’s time to buckle-in and unlock the next era of Virtual Aviation.

I joined Qantas Virtual Group in 2017 and the staff team in 2018. Qantas Virtual Group as a whole has been through thick and thin, and what was most surprising to me was the motivation each of the staff members have, working their hardest to propel the Virtual Airline in the right direction to move forward. I am absolutely honoured and humbled to now be given the opportunity to lead the Infinite Flight Community’s oldest and continuously operating Virtual Airline as we begin our eleventh year of operations.

If you’re searching for a Virtual Airline that values you and your skillset, Qantas Virtual Group is the place to be. Our various ranks and positions allow any type of pilot to unlock their potential and motivate the community at large. Our vibrant community has a focus on upholding an admirable environment where our pilots can engage and interact as passionate flyers. With a decade of experience behind us, we’re ready to face the next era of aviation. Will you join us?

See you onboard! ✈️

We still encourage you to try your best on the exam and utilize community tutorials to review your aviation skills.
  1. Upon completing the Theoretical Examination, a member of our Recruitment Team will return to your Infinite Flight Community PM and invite you to our dedicated Discord Server for Pilots.

Upon joining the Qantas Virtual Discord Server, a training room will automatically be opened where one of our Staff Members will verify and activate your account in the Crew Centre & Discord systems. They will then proceed to share some beginner information for the VA as well as addressing any questions or concerns regarding your understanding of Infinite Flight. Within just minutes of joining the Discord, you’ll be free to fly and serve the Australian Spirit.

The variety of routes through Qantas and its codeshares means you’ll never be stuck on finding a flight. I’ve had the best time at Qantas Virtual Group and look forward to what’s to come.”

“QVG’s community is one of the only communities that I can say is undoubtedly fun, from the moment I joined I was showered with nothing but friendliness from the Pilots and Staff. As a Staff Member, you’re usually expected to be professional but once I was onboarded, we were able to blend the seriousness of work and the humorous side of our day-to-day life and have an efficient and fun work environment. I couldn’t think of a better VA to be in!”
