Preview figures. Air India Virtual has not started operations — these describe the network currently being prepared, not completed flying.

The experience

More than flying. A complete virtual airline experience.

Every part of Air India Virtual is being built around one idea: that a virtual airline should feel like an operation you belong to, not a website you file hours into.

  • Scheduled Operations

    A published timetable built from real Air India city pairs, flown on a rotation you choose. Every sector has a flight number, an aircraft and a departure slot, so the network behaves like an airline rather than a list of random flights.

    Available at launch

  • Career Progression

    Start on the A320neo across the domestic trunk routes and work towards wide-body command. Ranks are earned through consistent, honest flying — never bought, and never handed out for turning up.

    Coming in a future phase

  • Community Events

    Group departures, long-haul crossings and training sectors flown together on the online networks. Events are where the community actually meets, and where new pilots learn our procedures fastest.

    Available at launch

  • ACARS Flight Tracking

    AIV ACARS is a desktop companion that will record your flight and file the report for you — no manual paperwork, no disputed hours. This is coming in a future phase and is not available today.

What Air India Virtual is building

Indian routes are some of the most rewarding sectors in simulation. We wanted them flown properly.

Why this airline exists

Preview network

Routes worth planning your week around

Six sectors from the schedule being prepared for launch — domestic shuttles, Gulf hops and the long crossings that give an airline its character. None of these are bookable yet.

View the network

The fleet

Five types. One coherent airline.

A deliberately small fleet, chosen so pilots can move between types without relearning the airline. Narrow-bodies hold the domestic network together; the wide-bodies take it intercontinental.

Upcoming programme

Fly together, not just alongside

Our first events are being scheduled now. Dates are confirmed on the community server once the founding roster is in place — everything below is preview content.

Your next flight begins here.

Air India Virtual is being built now, and the pilots who arrive first will shape how it flies — the schedule, the standards, the events. If you fly a desktop simulator and want an airline that takes the operation seriously without taking itself too seriously, there is a seat here for you.
