United 747s

Welcome aboard

It's time to fly

Our route network includes historically accurate
United and Continental schedules and aircraft.

There are a lot of virtual airlines out there modeled on United Airlines -- we've tried most of them! If your reaction to finding us was "another one?" we wouldn't blame you. We wouldn't have launched VirtUAL if we didn't think we could offer the community something unique. Need some convincing? Consider the following:

A Track Record of Success

VirtUAL is brought to you by the Fusion Virtual Airline Alliance -- The team behind vAAL,  vspirit, and PVA-HG. With over 750 active members and over 45,000 PIREPs as of December 2023, we know what it takes to sustain an active, high-quality community.

Built on the modern vAMSYS Platform

We won't lie to you, we wish we could offer a customized web platform from the start. We've got the next best thing in vAMSYS, the latest and most powerful VA management system available. vAMSYS includes SimBrief integration and many more features!

A Unique Atmosphere

We don't believe in corporate role play -- there isn’t a “CEO” and this isn't a pretend job. We're just aviation enthusiasts who love flight simulation and want to create a virtual airline experience that is realistic where it counts, but relaxed and informal where it doesn't.

Accurate Schedules

We enjoy access to a commercial flight schedule API that enables us to provide our members with accurate, high-quality schedule data. We routinely update our schedule database, and we also include schedules for all United Express regional airline partners.

We think we're the premier United Airlines Virtual Airline out there. Don't just take our word for it - find out for yourself!

VirtUAL is not a real airline.

We are a virtual airline.

If you’re looking for the real United Airlines, that’s not us!

A virtual airline is a group of aviation enthusiasts simulating the real world operations of an actual airline — in our case,United Airlines — through the use of several flight simulation video games like Microsoft Flight Simulator, Prepar3d, and X-Plane.

We do not book flights, trips, hotels, cars, trains, ferries, or buses. Please go back to Google and find your preferredtravel purveyor if you have come here by mistake.

We have no affiliation with or endorsement by United Airlines or any of its affiliates.
