The grand opening of Liverpool will be executed with the RJ100. The plane that was just introduced in a couple of flights in the South of Spain. Malaga was the first point of starting our new strategy: ”Connecting the dots”. In fact we are connecting our future hubs with the RJ100. Liverpool is our new hub, and following Malaga, in the project “Connecting the dots”.

Liverpool connects to the following dots:
(LEMG) Malaga (+/- 3 hours)
(LFSB) Basel (+/- 1:45 hour)
(ENBR) Bergen (+/- 1:45 hour)

The introduction of Liverpool is all month of February long and can be flown by any pilot.
After the introduction, will we take the schedules to its normal rank. And you need to have the rank of Captain in order the mini jumbo.

A short update on how things are going around in Citylink-va.com land.

- We have placed our first livery on Flightsim.com. This is the default livery of the Twin Otter. Hopefully it will bring us newer pilots.

- Summer has arrived. Due to our nearly third anniversary (which will be in September 2015), have we something very special in mind for our pilots.

We call it FreeFlight. What it means is this:
> You can fly your favorite plane from the VA and fly it anywhere in the world.
>Even stronger: if the VA does not have their favorite plane, we will add it in Acars.
>They can fly during 2 months. (July 1st-september 1st) With what they want to where they want.

Example:
>Fly around the world in a Twin Otter
>Do Moscow-Kamschatka in a C172
>Do a virtual aid mission from Cologne to Nepal in a C17
>Anything they can come up with is being accepted.
>This is probably a one time ever event

- Version 1.3 of the Qualitywings BAE 146-300 checklist is available in the shop. The pilots can buy it in the shop order Manuals as a complete package for the BAE 146-300

- Talks are going on that we will move our cargo schedules from Liege to Cologne. We will announce it, when it is due.

The staff of CityLink presents to their pilots another fine way to spend your well-earned virtual money.
At first we came up with the rental service, where you can rent a plane and make a flight that’s not registered in the timetable of our company.
Now we have thought of something new. When you reach the rank of Captain, you can sign up with The Vintage Group.
A membership card will cost you 5000 euros the first time and then an annual fee of 500 euro per year for as long as you want to stay member of this group.
The payments will take place at our pilot shop on the website.

What do we offer you for this amount of money?

You will get access to a timetable with vintage Fokker flights, which were flown in the past.
We will start with the VLM flights with a Fokker 50. These flights did really exist and the times and places are accurate.
Since the VLM had its headquarters at London City, EGLC will play a major role for the Vintage Group.
On that matter London City is scrapped as a destination in the timetable of CityLink-VA.
We will guarantee you that no matter what changes are made in the fleet of CityLink, the Vintage Group will always fly their Fokkers.
As stated we will start with the Fokker 50, but we will expand with the other Fokkers in time.
And last but not least, you get to get an active part in this group, because with the proper proof of an existing flight with a Fokker you can make suggestions for adding flights to the vintage timetable. We hope to keep the inheritance of a great brand name alive
