Fly UK's CEO Chris Sutcliffe comments 'This is a very exciting time for both staff & pilots at Fly UK, like in real life, low cost airlines have revolutionised the aviation industry and the way we travel, we are now pleased to introduce low cost operations to Fly UK, and try to bring in more realism to the VA, by reflecting more real world airline operations to our VA operations'.

Join the low cost revolution - Fly2 IVAO Launch Event!

To celebrate this exciting milestone in the history of Fly UK, we will be hosting an IVAO event this Saturday at 7PM. We are going to fly flight FL202A which takes us to the sun to the historical city of Barcelona. Barcelona is the Catalan capital with glorious architecture such as La Sagrada Familia (above). Construction began in 1883 and is still underway. After the flight we can enjoy a stroll down La Rambla and celebrate some more with a good meal and a drink or two. ATC coverage is expected all the way and we ask all pilots to fly the new Fly2 aircraft (however Fly2 is not on the IVAo MTL yet).

Full information for this event can be found in the Fly2 Special Flight PDF

Fly UK Virtual Airways are also pleased to announce that our new Regional, Scheduled & Charter Routes are planned to commence on Saturday May 6th 2006!
