Information about BVAir.com British Virtual Airways is a virtual airline for Microsoft Flight Simulator partially based on the real carrier British Airways Plc. BVAir.com will provide you with a fleet of modern and realistic aircraft, a comprehensive route network, quality flight plans and more. We thrive in providing an operational environment as close as possible to the real thing. Like real pilots, you will receive flight briefings containing information on passenger and cargo loads, routing, estimated time of departure and arrival and special instructions. After flying your assigned duty, you will have to report the flight back to us. Your reports get analysed and added to your flight history. In time, your mileage counter will build up to allow you to be promoted. BVAir.com is a community of virtual pilots who want to get more out of Microsoft Flight Simulator.
