Welcome to the website of Platinum Airways, the Virtual Airline where flying remains fun
We are an Open Skies KISS airline, keeping it straight and simple
Platinum Airways offers its Virtual Pilots an environment that is rich in content and low on rules. We have numerous civilian aircraft in our own livery for FS9 and FSX.

Our pilots are completely free to compose their Open Skies flights between two airports of their choice and/or they can operate out of five hubs - Newark (KEWR) and Dallas/Fort Worth (KDFW) in the US, Vancouver (CYVR) in Canada, Perth (YPPH) in Australia and Brussels (EBBR) in Europe. Thus, Platinum Airways prides itself that it has completely liberated the virtual aviation industry by implementing a real Open Skies policy.
We offer a wide range of aircraft in Platinum Airways livery (freeware and payware) that will enable our pilots to fly any mission ranging from hops around the corner to real long distance flights. The livery for payware aircraft is free as well, but you need to purchase the model elsewhere beforehand.
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. We run a Destination of the Week feature and we also have Relief Flights, Military Missions and Freight divisions. Our active forums include a platform where pilots can suggest new missions to their colleagues and exchange views on how to further enhance them.
We don't require our pilots to fly online with IVAO or VATSIM, although you may if you want to. Pilot reports (done with a website form) and other admin are kept to a minimum, as our management, too, would like to fly as often as possible. 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 after your first PIREP has been processed. Membership is free. We are keen to hear from our VP's: flights, aircraft, military and/or bush: let us know your wishes and we'll see what can be done.
Please enjoy your stay on our website. And don’t hesitate to contact or even join us.
