Who We Are

We began work on this project in the fall of 2019 with a vision to create a virtual airline community based on a very realistic model of the airline operations centered around American Airlines.
Our Culture
When creating the vision for vAAirlines, we set up key differences which included freedom to fly on various networks with real world callsigns (or offline with/without AI), a strong user interface both on the public end of our website as well as for our pilots, realistic fleet availability, responsive staff members, no “pay to play” of any kind, and progression based upon experience and knowledge, not just hours flown. These principles are the foundation upon which our core values were established to ensure the very best experience for our members as we strive to create an amazing community of aviation enthusiasts.
