Dalvin121 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 Hey everyone my name is Mctair Grant and I'm currently interested in starting a virtual airline which will be based in MYGF. My question to va owners and pilots are. What makes a good virtual airline or in other words What do you look for in a virtual airline ? If necessary please also state what kind of virtual airlines you don't like and thanks this is greatly appriciated Quote
freshJet Posted May 28, 2013 Report Posted May 28, 2013 If necessary please also state what kind of virtual airlines you don't like and thanks this is greatly appriciated Anything that starts up with free hosting or a free domain, throws together an effortless site and calls it a VA. An then closes within a month Make sure you're well planned and have a goal. The fact that you're in the Bahamas is good news because it's somewhere new and isn't a dominated market like the UK or the US. Oh, and look at real world start-ups and try to reflect on how they go about their business. In other words, no one likes to see you're already flying half of the commercial aircraft available today. Start simple and take it easy 1 Quote

Dalvin121 Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Posted May 29, 2013 Thanks so much for the reply. I am intending to start a virtual airline based mainly using Beech craft 1900 and we were intending to start from small to big and use phpvms and grow depending on our va finances in phpvms. We would start using 4 aircraft and make a detailed schedule instead of the usual 1 plane per route. We would go towards realistic expenses and ticket costs. 2 Quote
viper2191 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 What's the best way to make a website for a new virtual airline? Simpilotgroup asks for too much money. I don't mind paying for web hosting, but what's the best way to make a website??? Site5? Quote
Moderators joeri Posted June 4, 2013 Moderators Report Posted June 4, 2013 david is one off the best coders out here but hey iff you don't want to pay you might want to close before opening.you can also look for a free hosting nice and cheap. and its works like a charm Quote
JTaylor801 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Posted June 4, 2013 I certainly don't want to come off as rude in my remarks, so upfront please understand this is not my intention, my intention is to be honest. If you you do not have the coding skills (nor have the time/desire to learn them) AND you do not want to pay someone like David at Simpilotgroup (who does quality, outstanding work) then I honestly think you should rethink your decision to start a VA. A dozen years ago you could slap together a basic website and call yourself a VA and have some success. However, those days are over as the bar has been raised extremely high. Virtual pilots have many, many choices and if you want to be successful then you must at the very minimum stand on equal footing with the other VA's around you. If you want to be super successful, then you must find something which makes your VA different. David at Simpilotgroup designed my VA's website and he did an outstanding job. http://virtualairlogistics.org I won't discuss how much all this cost, but will say that David put more into the site than what I paid him.

Sava Posted June 5, 2013 Report Posted June 5, 2013 Couldn't have said it better. Being a services provider I can highly agree on what Jerry said. Quote
