Lufthansa Virtual Begins Operations

Published February 2, 2011 | By editor

Lufthansa Virtual (or LHVA for short) opened for business today, on 1st February with just one goal: to be the biggest airline on SimMiles. LHVA partly accomplished this already as it is the biggest airline on SimMiles network in the following categories:

Number of routes
Number of flights (around 3500)
Number of aircraft in fleet (around 150)

LHVA is setting new standards for virtual airlines on SimMiles to follow by implementing “Destination of the Month”, “Pilot of the Month” and many more innovations rarely seen on SimMiles. LHVA will have a great forum community on which pilots will be able to share their experience and talk about latest news from LHVA, real-world or virtual aviation. All staff positions are occupied by six professional and dedicated people. LHVA also has a person that works in administration of real-world Lufthansa, which means our schedules and overall realism are on highest levels.

LHVA currently simulates only Lufthansa’s mainline flights, but we will work hard to implement flights of Lufthansa Regional, CityLine and similar airlines. European routes are covered with eight daily flights (four rotations)! We recently teamed-up with BMI Virtual, meaning that even more routes are on our pilot’s disposal.

We started accepting pilot applications and it might take us up to a few days to accept them all because there are really a lot of them. If you didn’t apply already, it’s a perfect time to do so.

You will receive more information when your application gets approved.

Please note that our web site is still under construction.

Thank you!
