Welcome to IVAO United Kingdom
IVAO United Kingdom - Virtual Airlines
A Virtual Airline (VA) is a dedicated organisation that uses Flight Simulator to model the operations of an airline. These may be mimics of real world airlines or make believe. They aim to provide a realistic aviation experience to flight simulator enthusiasts. There are a large number of VA's around the world consisting of thousands of members from different countries.
Here in the UK Division, we are pleased to support the following UK based VA's:
Albion Group of Airlines
Albion Group of Airlines was established in 2002 and runs as a commercial airline using the IVAO platform. Albion is divided into a number of airlines covering different parts of the globe. There is Domestic and Continental flying throughout Europe, North Africa and as far East as Israel. Canadian is based in Ottawa and serves the ten provinces as well as feeding into the USA and the Caribbean. Las Americas, based in Jamaica, flies long and short haul to, mainly, the Caribbean and central/south America. Australia and New Zealand covers both countries and the wider south pacific region. There are two overarching airlines, Worldwide and Logistics flying passengers and freight almost exclusively on long haul.
Pilots fly contracts devised by each Airline Manager. Hours flown are logged and income earned helps support a set of "company accounts". Aircraft are bought, sold and modified only when the accounts can support the activity. Albion pilots find contract flying is both interesting as well as rewarding through the opportunity for flying to a fullspectrum of destinations. All Albion members are expected to fly as often as possible on-line with IVAO and, consequently, should be well versed in ATC procedures when they join. Albion also encourages members to fly in group activities as often as possible; a group of aircraft flying on line in close company is both exhilarating and lots of fun.
The Albion fleet is diverse. The VA flies Concorde, most of the Airbus fleet and a number of the medium and large Boeing aircraft as well as aircraft ranging from the Twin Otter to the C-5 Galaxy and Antonov An-124.
