Allegiant VA · Est. 2010

A leisure airline. Modeled by a long-standing VA, setting a new standard in virtual airline ops.

A global community of aviation enthusiasts using Microsoft Flight Simulator and X‑Plane to replicate airline transport operations in an authentic, immersive environment.

Allegiant aircraft parked nose to tail on the ramp in the simulator, MD-80s at the far end and an A320 and 757 nearest the camera.
The same small group who started the VA in 2010 are still the ones who fly the colors today, and drive innovation built on decades of experience.

Why we built it this way

Airline operations, on your own schedule.

We’ve built a robust airline ops simulation that goes beyond simply selecting flights and logging hours. From seniority-based crew scheduling and realistic dispatch procedures to aircraft maintenance, fleet management, and operational decision-making, every system is designed to bring the experience of flying for an airline into your simulator.

We understand that our members have careers, families, and commitments outside the simulator. That’s why we’ve designed our airline around flexibility. Bid for the flying you want, operate your trips when time allows, and participate at a pace that fits your life.

We believe an authentic airline experience shouldn’t require a heavy commitment. Whether you’re looking for a highly structured operational environment or simply a more immersive way to enjoy your simulator, Allegiant Virtual offers the opportunity to experience airline flying on your own terms.

Our goal is to recreate the depth and professionalism of real-world airline operations while preserving the freedom and enjoyment that make flight simulation a hobby.

Realistic operations.

Our History…

A time capsule of how our website has evolved over the years.

  1. The launch site: an MD-80 in flight above a Welcome panel and a Book a flight form.

    How we got started

    Founded by a small group of friends united by their enjoyment of the iconic Super 80 “Maddog” and Allegiant’s unique route network. What began as a group to fly together became Allegiant VA.

    Our first year in the books193 flights completed · 377 hours logged

  2. An early rebuild: an MD-80 tail against a city skyline header, with Welcome and Latest News panels.

    New Horizons

    While we were improving and growing our small community, Allegiant introduced the Boeing 757-200, and a new chapter of longer-range flying arrived. Preparations began to take the leisure network across the Pacific.

    Our first 500 flights577 flights completed · 1,161 hours logged

  3. A later site: an MD-80 in cloud, a crew login, a live flights list and a statistics panel.

    The Airbus Era Begins

    The airline welcomed the Airbus A319 and A320 into service in 2013. A changing fleet brought new aircraft, routes, and opportunities to experience the new and evolving operations.

    2,000 flights and 5,000 hours surpassed2,405 flights completed · 5,106 hours logged

  4. A later site: an A320 at a gate, orange and blue navigation, and tabs for live, arrived and scheduled flights.

    An Airline in Transition

    Things start moving toward an Airbus future, with the A319 and A320 joining the familiar MD-80s and 757s. Meanwhile, our virtual airline continued building its own history, reaching a milestone that once seemed unimaginable.

    Years of Dedication

    From our humble beginnings to thousands of flights across generations of simulators and website versions, our VA has traveled a long way. Years of dedication have brought us to our next chapter.
