What is a virtual airline?
A virtual airline is an online community of like minded Flight Simulator enthusiasts that want to get more out of simply flying between two points. We have our own corporate livery, detailed selection of flights and dedicated team of staff to offer a realistic, fun and professional virtual airline carrier that recreates the operations of a real-world airline.
Who are XL Virtual Airways?
We are a fictional airline based on the real world carrier XL UK Airways, we operate a modern mix of Boeing and Airbus aircraft to a wide selection of destinations across Europe, Africa and America. We have over a year of virtual airline experience behind us and will be around for a long time to come. Many virtual airlines open up and close weekly, we are different, we intend to be around for a long time by providing realsim and by offering a warm, personal atmosphere.
How did XL Virtual start?
XL Virtual Airways started in January 2008. Since then the airline has seen 4 sites, each time getting better and more professional until finally being recreated as the site you see now.
Why join XL Virtual Airways?
We are aware there are alot of virtual airlines out there, some very good and some not so good but we are confident we are operating as close to real-world operations as much as possible, our fleet is painted in the same liverys as the real XL Airways in both freeware and payware repaints, we have a all of the real flights of XL at the same depatrures times with the same callsigns and all this backed by a friendly dedicated team of staff all passionate about the airline and our valued pilots. We want every pilot to feel welcome and fit in with our "community" and not just become another statistic or name on a roster as sometimes happens with certain virtual airlines.
What does the future hold?
The future at XL Virtual Airways is un-decided at this stage, but we strive to improve the airline and update its features as much as possible, we want to be the best and stay that way for our pilots. There are a few projects in the pipeline but these are only at the design stage at the moment. |
