Eastern Airlines Virtual Turns 15 Years Old!
August 9th, 1998 was the beginning of Eastern Airlines Virtual. The Internet age was still fairly new for the mainstream computer users. Still, a group of guys who enjoyed flight simulation wanted to start this Virtual Airline. Using services like CompUServe, America Online, and other various bulletin board systems, they were able to connect and get the Golden Falcon back in the air again.
Today, there are several hundred virtual airlines around today. Many are very successful and there are others that are struggling. but we all share a great hobby. It does take a lot of hard work and dedication to make a VA work. Here at Eastern, we have shown that we have that dedication. We continue to Continue reading

flyeuro’s Minor Revolution
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – Low-cost European airliner, flyeuro is troubled with lack of progression. In a bid to maintain stable development of their operations, the airline went a minor revolution. Two hubs were closed, while place for four brand new hubs was made.
Recent launch of the airline’s regional subsidiary, flybritain saw major growth of traffic within the airline. During the last month however, the traffic frequency began to fade.
On Sunday, 21st May 2013, flyeuro informed that the airline will be pulling out of their East Midlands and Budapest hubs, claiming that it was “inevitable” as these hubs were producing losses for the airline.

The airline officials believed in the past that the single-type fleet business model is functional and should not be modified. “Pilots and passengers told us what they want, and it became apparent that its best to shed some realism for choice and flexibility, hence the introduction of Airbus A320″ – said Emil Gabrys, COO of flyeuro. “We love feedback from our members, and it was their voice who spoke in the selection of the Airbus”.
On top of these changes, flyeuro introduced scrupulous regulations in terms of pilot inactivity. “We have to maintain high standards. While we listen to Continue reading
