Air India Virtual is turning one year old!
As one of the most ambitious VAs in Infinite Flight Community, we are proud to beat the drums for our Fly In on the 15th of December in context to celebrate our first ever Anniversary. NAMASTE
1 year seems like a long time but it went at a supersonic pace. With over 60 pilots each having a fair share of their own, we have almost hit about 15,000hrs and more than 500,000 KM in about 12 months.
A message from our CEO:
It’s hard to say that we are already closing in our first anniversary celebrations. It felt like it was just days back that @Prasoon_S had started this airline. As a result of his initiation at that time, this where we stand out today, the largest virtual airline serving out of India. Initially when we planned on launching this virtual airline we really doubted whether we would stand even for a few days in this competition but nevertheless to say we have come a long way from it. Just months back we also joined Star Alliance Virtual which has immensely helped us in diversifying our routes. I couldn’t have asked more than this, it’s not possible for us to be the number one virtual airline on the IFC but we can definitely work towards it. I would like to take this opportunity to thank a few people who contributed throughout their stay in the VA @Cloudrush, @Rohan625, one of the founding members, @Alan_S, the current COO. And my whole past and present management and staff team for their impeccable service.
To celebrate this amazing accomplishment, we are hosting a _fly-in event_ at our hub, Indira Gandhi International Airport.
