Legacy Destination of the Week 186: ASH Naples International Airport (LIRN) 4 June 2023 to 11 June 2023
Our Fleet, Ranks, and Special Features
 
Platinum Airways is arguably the first virtual airline that implements the Open Skies policy in the most radical way. Our pilots may fly any mission of their choice without prior approval, as long as the departure and arrival destinations can be identified, for instance and preferably with an ICAO code. In addition, Platinum Airways also offers a hubs based schedule of more than 800 flights, ranging from a hop around the corner to a complete world round trip. In order to fly these missions, we offer a strong and wide-ranging fleet in our Platinum Airways livery. Whenever possible, we will also make available alternative panel and sound files, which may be packaged with the models.
 
 
 

Fleet

Our fleet downloads offer many aircraft painted in Platinum Airways livery, both civilian and military aircraft.  Most of these aircraft are freeware, available as executable files for easy addition to your flight simulator.  We also offer a number of repaints for payware aircraft.
 
In the past we provided our repaints on public websites.  We no longer do that.  We have not removed our repaints from other websites, but we do NOT maintain those repaints, nor do we assume responsibility for any issues caused by downloading those items.  All downloads from our downloads section on our site are guaranteed virus and malware free.
 
You can click on any aircraft to see a full-sized screenshot of the airplane.

Rank Structure

 
Our rank structure is based on flight hours completed, like any other airline. When joining Platinum, we will assign you the rank of "Trainee" on approval of your application. We invite all pilots to submit proof of previously accumulated flight hours.
 
We then require you to complete your first (maiden) flight with Platinum within two weeks. After completion of this flight, we will credit your log file with previous flight hours, and we will update your rank accordingly.
 
Our PIREP system is a simple online form.  We do not use an automated ACARS for recording flight hours.  It is up to each pilot to record his own hours and report them.
 
Listed below are the ranks and associated shoulder boards, indicating the hours required to obtain the rank.
