I was scrolling through the IF community and I seemed to come across a lot of talk about virtual airlines. That got me thinking, what is a virtual airline, I tried searching for it on the community and I found nothing. I would really appreciate it if someone cared to explain what a virtual airline is.
A virtual airline is when a member/ group of members get together to create an airline based off of an airline in the real world. They will hire pilots, staff, they’ll imitate real world routes, have events etc. Some members also create fictional VAs based off of what they want an airline to be like.
Hi @Jacob_Laurie, A virtual airline, aka VA, is a group of IF pilots who simulate flights and operations of a real life airline e,g, Frontier or American VA simulate real life Frontier and American Airlines. These VAs are regulated within IF and you will surely find enjoyment should you join a VA that ‘speaks your language’. Enjoy your stay on IFC.
