Lufty Virtual is gratified to have an airline like Brussels Airlines Virtual in its group.
Lufthansa, as one of the biggest airlines worldwide, has an endless network of routes and destinations - and so do we. By closely mirroring the real-life operations of Lufthansa and Brussels Airlines, we are able to provide our pilots with every regular route that is served by either of the airlines.
