Who we are
We have created a virtual airline from all of the things we loved from other VAs. But, we didn’t like the strict rules they had, so we have decided to not have any restriction on which plane to fly on a route, although it’s best to pick the suggested one! We also have no penalty for pausing your sim, a lenient 90 day period to submit a PIREP, and no need for position reporting!
About Us
This virtual airline was set up in September 2016 with the ambition of being a freight and passenger airline serving remote communities in Alaska. Aligning to the TV show “Flying Wild Alaska”, our pilots and aircraft must endure harsh weather conditions, short take off and landings and demonstrate a high degree of skill.

With our FSE and remote landing strips becoming more popular, we have a dedicated charter system for pilots to create their own unique flights.
Real aircraft
Aircraft are real living, breathing things. We simulate damage on our fleet, including gear, structure and engine damage! Aircraft go into maintenance and we have a full aircraft market!
