These lesser known VAs have just as much to offer as any other big player in the VA field, and have some of their own unique experiences that make membership just as enjoyable, if not more.Īfter interviewing these VA members and spending a few days in the VA Slack, I truly feel like I’ve gotten a small taste of what it’s like to be a pilot or staff at EZYVA.

There are more than a few smaller VAs that have been operating continuously and healthily for over two years without the added popularity and large scale membership that the aforementioned popular VAs enjoy. However, what about the long-standing VAs that aren’t always in the spotlight? They deserve as much credit for operating long-term without the added benefit of being a legacy carrier or as popular with fliers in real life. If you know the work that is needed to maintain a VA, you know that’s an incredible achievement. The VAs I have mentioned are “household” names and have been going strong for three or more years. Over the years, some VAs have become more prominent and well-known in the community, such as BAVA, DLVA, UVAL and AFKLM to name a few.

There are large VAs, small VAs, fictional VAs, region-based VAs and everything in between. Nearly every community member can find a VA that enhances their IF experience. VAs have been around ever since the beginning of Infinite Flight and have evolved over the years to the diverse selection that is available to community members today. These groups are undoubtedly some of the strongest backbones of the community and are the main form of community engagement for many Infinite Flight members. Even if you’ve been a member of the Infinite Flight community for a day or two, you’re sure to have heard of Virtual Airlines (VAs) and Virtual Organizations (VOs).
