Intl. Routes
Our routes are not mandatory. Though, if you fancy a bit of airline economy immersion, we have a huge selection of routes to fly to or from!
Routes can range from a short-range domestic hop from Inverness, to a ultra-long-haul journey to destinations in Australia!
Don't want to be constricted to set routes? That is also perfectly fine! If you want to participate in the economy system, you can charter the flight! Otherwise, just fly as you please!

Intl. Hubs
We primarily operate out of our UK Hubs: Liverpool, Manchester, Gatwick, Edinburgh, East Midlands and Inverness.
Though, this is not mandatory either! We have them for those pilots who prefer an immersive experience!
For our ultra, long range journeys that must be done in two steps, we have a refuel base in Singapore, to help separate the hops a little!
OFFICIAL
VATSIM Partner
Since July 2026, Blighty Virtual Airlines was officially approved as a VATSIM Virtual Airline Partner!
This means that our callsign is officially supported by VATSIM, with recognition on their VA Partners page.
So...what exactly is Blighty?
We're a Virtual Airline for people who love flight simulation - without all the paperwork.
Want to immerse yourself in realistic airline operations on VATSIM? Brilliant!
Prefer a less pressured session with SayIntentionsAI? Absolutely!
Want to disappear for three weeks, come back and fly a completely different aircraft to somewhere ridiculous? We do that too!
Blighty was built around the idea of having the community and immersion of a virtual airline, without being told when, where or how often you must fly.
Why Fly Blighty?
🛫 Fly Your Way
MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024, X-Plane 11, and X-Plane 12. VATSIM, SayIntentionsAI or offline. Your simulator/hardware do not dictate whether you can be part of the community.
🌍 Go Somewhere Interesting
More than 1,700 routes ranging from short regional sectors, to long-haul across the world.
⏱️ No Minimum Hours
Fly every night...fly once a month...vanish because life happened. You're still welcome!
🎨 Blighty Liveries
A growing collection of custom aircraft liveries across multiple simulators, plus traffic liveries and custom model-matching resources for MSFS. Including special one-off liveries!
🎧 A Proper Community
Discord is effectively the Blighty staff room, with forums, downloads, dispatch messages and techinical support.
🛰️ More Than Just Logging Flights
Hoppie ACARS and CPDLC integration, Discord dispatch integration, flight tracking and other systems give pilots the option to make things considerably more immersive.
