What is a Virtual Airline?
Thanks to Wikipedia

A virtual airline, commonly abbreviated as "VA," is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an airline. Virtual airlines generally have a presence on the Internet, similar to a real airline. Many hundreds of virtual airlines of significance currently active, with tens of thousands of participants involved at any one time.

Virtual airlines were started to give a sense of purpose to activities conducted within a flight simulator. This basic premise has evolved over time, along with available technology, to provide increasing levels of immersion but always with the same core purpose. When combined with increasingly powerful personal computers, advancing flight simulation software, and communications networks, virtual airlines are often able to provide compelling, realistic, experiences similar to operations inside a real airline. Virtual airlines also provide an avenue for members to gain access to additional content, such as aircraft and scenery, for use with their simulator. The appeal varies; for younger members, virtual airlines provide a sandbox environment where they can experience the corporate environment of commercial business in the airline industry, without the risk of financial loss. These organizations also provide an outlet for those who are interested in aviation but unable to fly themselves in real life due to financial, health, or other reasons.

Academics have stated that members of these groups can often show significant attachment and immersion in their activity, building strong relationships with those who they share their created "space" with. Participants can become unusually dedicated and committed to their group through the forging of their strong bonds and sense of identity, despite the construct being entirely (or nearly entirely) fictional. Some of the groups are run similar to real-world airlines, and members can get a taste for being a professional pilot by joining one of the organizations.

The Philosophy Behind Arabian Airlines

Arabian Airlines takes pride in being the world's first airline to base itself on the criteria of a culture widely misunderstood and stigmatized as a result of unfavorable political circumstances. The company slogan, "Uniting People, Uniting Worlds," comes from the conviction that in order to build bridges between peoples, cultures and societies, there needs to be an accurate representation of the culture which Arabian Airlines calls its own. To Arabian, there is no better way to do this than through the international transport industry, and there is no better way to represent the beauty and authenticity of Arabic culture through our first class service and professionalism that sets Arabian Airlines apart from many other companies.

Our service philosophy plays itself between "legacy" carrier and a "low cost" carrier. At Arabian, you can find many of the luxury accommodations and high class service you would expect of a first class airline without much of the added cost. Arabian Airlines uses state of the art Airbus and Boeing Aircraft for its operations which allows the company to dramatically cut operating costs as a result of the increased commonality between aircraft. This allows our pilots a greater degree of flexibility, and our passengers a higher degree of safety.

At Arabian Airlines you can expect the very best of service, reliability, and safety; it is our service guarantee. We strive to make air travel accessible to all segments of society while providing our virtual customers with the tastes, sounds, and experience of a rich and vibrant culture from the place we call home.
