Hi all, I dont know if I can ask it here, but how would someone go about creating a virtual organization? And can anybody creat one? I’d love to create a South African Airways virtual but I have no idea how to begin or if I even am allowed to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have a good day!

Hey there!
You can see all the information on Creating a Virtual Airline/Organisation below:
If you have any questions, please ask however you’ll find that the vast majority of commonly asked questions are answered on that page.
You can see the current VA/VO database here. Right now there is not a “South African Airways Virtual” nor is it reserved so it is free to take.

Not everyone can create one - you need to be TL2 (Member) here on the forum to apply to reserve and make a VA. You are currently only TL1 so you need to spend more time being active here to get to TL2. (There is no way to reserve an airline in advance of you becoming TL2, so you just have to hope that no one else takes it in the meantime.)
It’s also heavily recommended that you already have some VA experience (either from being a pilot or a staff member at another VA) so you have some idea of how they work.

Thank you, much appreciated.
The problem here is for instance I plan on creating a Virtual Organisation called “Infinite Flight Nigeria” with some aims we wish to achieve, I want it IFVARB approved but all information on that site is about airlines, airlines, airline, which doesn’t apply to us, I will like to know what to do to get my organisation approved
Depends if you are basing it off a real-world airline or not. If not, you can have some fun with things like the fleet and routes - but it still needs have all the basic parts.
Take a look at this, it’s not really an airline
This sort of falls under the “community group that doesn’t really need to be a VA” category - given that one of your goals is to create a VA, and also has goals that have nothing to do with VAs and the IFVARB.
Why not just go ahead and create a VA based in Nigeria?
Alright then, thanks
As for the second paragraph, well that’s part of the issue, the airlines existing have limited operations and fleets aren’t diverse. The main airlines don’t exist in the game.
I fully realise that livery options are a potential wall for VA creation. While the IFVARB’s “official” stance on liveries is that if the livery doesn’t exist on an aircraft in Infinite Flight, VAs should use the “Generic” liveries, I understand that not everyone would be interested in using those.
