Our story
- August 2010
The list begins
Erik J. Ehrhardt starts the Virtual Airline List to collect as many virtual airlines as possible in one directory: easier for pilots to find theirs, easier for airlines to attract pilots.

A pause, then a new home
After five years the list stops for internal reasons. In July 2015 the Italian virtual flying group Italiani Volanti takes it over and brings it back to life.
- Today
Pilots vote, every month
Hundreds of airlines are listed and pilots vote for the ones they fly with. Every monthly winner joins the hall of fame.
How the vote works
The vote shows pilots how active an airline is when they look for a new one to join. Even an airline at the bottom of the list with one or two votes is still active. The ranking also adds some healthy competition, which pushes airlines to improve.
We monitor votes and remove fraudulent ones, so the ranking stays fair.
Finding the right airline
Rankings change every month, so we also offer a search page: filter airlines by simulator, country, network and features to find your best match.
