WestWind Airlines is one of the longest operating virtual airlines in the world.
Here are just a few of the reasons why we believe WestWind is one of the top virtual airlines on the Internet today:
-
The WestWind fleet consists of over 40 unique aircraft for MS Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight,
including repaints of some of the most popular payware add-on aircraft.
-
Aircraft for MS Flight Simulator X are now being added to the WestWind fleet.
-
WestWind has hubs in 15 major North American cities, as well as Europe and Australia.
-
Custom scenery for both FSX and FS9 for many of the WestWind hubs.
-
WestWind provides passenger and cargo service to over 400 cities around the world.
-
WestWind charter operations reach nearly every corner of the planet.
-
WestWind has a realistic advancement system in which new pilots start out flying short routes in regional jets, advancing to
larger jet aircraft as they build flight time and complete transitional training.
-
The WestWind Training Center, located at the airlines headquarters at Denver International,
offers recurrent and advanced training for all pilots.
-
WestWind members include many real-life pilots, some of whom are current or former professional
commercial pilots. As of December 2005 WestWind's prestigious "Be A Pilot Club" has 80 members -- men
and women who went from the virtual left seat to the real-world one by taking advantage of the Introductory Flight.
-
Many of WestWind's pilots are active as both pilots and controllers on VATSIM, the Internet's largest online
virtual air-traffic simulation.
