American Virtual Airlines (AvA) was founded in 2001 and became the first Virtual Airline to be affiliated with VATSIM. American Virtual Airlines has won numerous awards for professionalism and online presence, including, Best New Virtual Airline Of The Year 2002 by FSPilot.com, and the top North American Virtual Airline in Vflight.org's Best International VA for 2003.
American Virtual Airlines has many pilots who fly out of our 9 United States-based Hubs on AAL flights as well as Codeshare flights though our Virtual OneWorld partnership with several world-wide VAs.
American Virtual Airlines flies exclusively on the VATSIM Network, and provides our pilots with a full range of resources to enhance their flying enjoyment. These resources include an Automated Pilot Reporting (PIREP) System with Pilot Rosters, Corporate and Hub-based training programs, a flight dispatch service, a comprehensive Fleet department, including the latest and best freeware aircraft for both American and American Eagle, web-based flight planning tools, and much more.
American Virtual Airlines has also held some of the largest and most successful online events in the history of VATSIM. We invite you to become part of a great group of flight simmers who are proud to fly AMERICAN!
Here at JoinAVA, we are using the newest version of PHPVMS paired with SmartCars3 integrated with Simbrief so that creating your flights is hassle free and easily done through SmartCars or the website.
Not only do we have all up-to-date real world schedules for American Airlines, but also for all of our World One partners as well, allowing you to fly all over the world as one of our partner Airlines. Not just in the U.S.
With JoinAVA we have quite a few events to choose from throughout the week that you can participate in within the V.A. We also take part in some VatSim events as well.
Unlike most Virtual Airlines, we allow you to choose one of our 9 hubs to call home. Callsigns are hub specific but we do allow you to choose your own callsign. The only callsigns off limits are the few dedicated to staff. All others are up for grabs!
Your hours on VatSim and time flying certain aircraft are all tracked allowing for you to progress to fly larger and more demanding aircraft. Along with our accurate schedules, we also have up-to-date and accurate fleets for American Airlines and it's World One partners.
More important than anything else mentioned, JoinAVA has a fantastic community filled with life long simmers, actual pilots (both active and retired), actual air traffic controllers, and just average sim enthusiasts to get help from or talk with about anything you'd like.
