Midway Virtual Airlines is based on the real-world Midway Airlines. There were actually two Midway Airlines, both now defunct. The original Midway operated from 1976-1991 and was based out of Chicago Midway Airport. The second airline, based out of Raleigh-Durham Airport, was in operation from 1993-2003. Midway Virtual uses flights and aircraft from both airlines. We have over 900 routes ranging from short hops to cross-country flights.
Our ACARS application (kACARS) allows pilots to automatically record their flights and send a PIREP directly to our system. Although not required, we encourage pilots to fly online on VATSIM. If you've never flown on VATSIM, we are more than happy to get you started.
Midway Virtual also incorporates a financial model: flights incur expenses and generate revenue, and hopefully pilots and the company make a profit.
