Welcome to Platinum Airways. We offer our Virtual Pilots an environment that is rich in content and low on rules. We believe in the KISS principle: Keep it Straight and Simple.

Fifteen years ago, we started liberating the virtual airways with our Open Skies policy. Very simple: you get to fly the mission of choice with the aircraft of choice at the time of choice. In other words: if you prefer to fly heavies, no need to wait until you have met stringent airline criteria. Just take the left seat and go. Yes, we do have some hubs, but they are not mandatory. You’re free to hop around from continent to continent and enjoy the thrills of simulated flying and tremendous sceneries your sim software has on offer.

We offer a wide range of aircraft in Platinum Airways livery (freeware and payware) that will enable you to fly any mission ranging from hops around the corner to real long distance flights. The livery for payware aircraft is free as well, the aircraft model of course is not. Should your aircraft of preference not be available (yet) in our livery, let us know, and we’ll try to have it repainted if we can. And in the meanwhile, feel free to fly in another livery. After all, you should be enjoying simming.

For members, we have numerous Vintage and Modern Military missions and Cargo flights. Our forums include a platform where pilots can suggest new missions to their colleagues and exchange views on how to further enhance them. Platinum Airways is by default an offline VA, but you may also fly missions with flight rules driven ACARS. Pilot reports and other admin are kept simple, too, as you’d only be fooling yourself by exaggerating flight hours.

We don’t require you to join a flight roster. New members (minimum age: 18) are expected to complete their first mission within two weeks. Thereafter, members are expected to complete one mission per month. Accumulated proven hours from other airlines are fully honoured and added to your records.

If you want to reach out to us, send us an email. The info address will do.

Please enjoy your stay on our website.

PS: registration on our forum has been difficult for some VP’s. Contact us if you don’t receive the verification mail. We’ll gladly fix it for you.
