We know you have lots of choices, so thanks for choosing
vAAL - we're happy to be your virtual airline!

Includes modern AND historical American Airlines routes.
Come enjoy the glory days of the MD-80 and 757!

There are a lot of virtual airlines out there modeled on American Airlines — we’ve tried most of them! So, it wouldn’t be surprising if your reaction to finding us was something along the lines of “another one?” However, we wouldn’t have created vAAL if we didn’t think we could offer something unique to the community. You probably need some convincing — we get it — so consider the following:

A Track Record of Success

vAAL is brought to you by the Fusion Virtual Airline Alliance -- the team behind vspirit, VirtUAL, and PVA-HG. With over 750 members and over 45,000 PIREPs as of December 2023, we know what it takes to sustain an active, high-quality community.

Built on the modern vAMSYS Platform

We won’t lie to you, we wish we could offer you a customized platform from the start. However, we’ve got a lot of experience running a VA on vAMSYS and we think you’re going to love it. It is the latest and most powerful virtual airline management system available. With SimBrief integration included, you will be able to quickly and easily choose your flight, generate a detailed briefing package, and get flying!

A Unique Atmosphere

We don't believe in corporate role play -- there isn’t a “CEO” and this isn't a pretend job. We're just aviation enthusiasts who love flight simulation and want to create a virtual airline experience that is realistic where it counts, but relaxed and informal where it doesn't.

Accurate Schedules

We enjoy access to a commercial flight schedule API that enables us to provide our members with accurate, high-quality schedule data. We routinely update our schedule database, and we also include schedules for all American Eagle regional airline partners.

We think we're the premier American Airlines Virtual Airline out there. Don't just take our word for it - find out for yourself!

vAAL is not a real airline.

We are a virtual airline.

If you’re looking for the real American Airlines, that’s not us!

A virtual airline is a group of aviation enthusiasts simulating the real world operations of an actual airline — in our case,American Airlines — through the use of several flight simulation video games like Microsoft Flight Simulator, Prepar3d, and X-Plane.

We do not book flights, trips, hotels, cars, trains, ferries, or buses. Please go back to Google and find your preferredtravel purveyor if you have come here by mistake.

We have no affiliation with or endorsement by American Airlines or any of its affiliates.
