Platinum Airways, the very virtual Open Skies airline, is about to start yet another Destination of the Week theme. As autumn or fall is setting in in the northern hemisphere, Platinum Airways’ pilots are hoping for a dry Indian Summer that will allow them to enjoy the wonderful seasonal colours. The series will visit three North American and two European airports that are located in forest environments.

The month of October is full with colour in the northern hemisphere, as leaves are slowly but surely turning yellow, red and brown. Indian Summer will take DOTW to five airports that will offer the best of these colours. The series kicks off with Buffalo Niagara International Airport (KBUF). From there, we’ll cross the Atlantic heading for Germany’s Baden-Baden Airport (EDSB) on the western foothills of the Black Forest. The third Indian Summer DOTW is KBTV – Burlington, the main airport of what is probably the most densely forested state Vermont. For week four, we’re back in Central Europe, for LOWK (Klagenfurt). The Indian Summer DOTW series ends with CYQT or Thunder Bay on Lake Superior in Ontario, Canada.

Regulars of Platinum Airways’ DOTW series will know that each destination comes with navigational charts and links to scenery files (FS9, FSX and X-Plane) and other aids (like real life approach and departure videos). Pilots visiting a current DOTW are rewarded with a 5% bonus. Past DOTW’s are archived and remain available to pilots, albeit without DOTW bonus.

About Platinum Airways:
Keen to deliver on its mission to keep the fun in the hobby, Platinum Airways is probably the only virtual airline to combine an Open Skies policy, allowing its pilots to fly any mission of their choice with the aircraft of their choice at the time of their choice, with a strategic hub network. The carefully selected hubs, Newark (KEWR), Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW), Vancouver (CYVR), Perth (YPPH) and Brussels (EBBR), should be attractive to a global membership. In addition, Platinum Airways offers its pilots an often cheeky Destination of the Week, Relief, Military and Cargo missions and a soon to be launched Flight Dispatch division. Sticking to the KISS principle (Keep It Straight and Simple), Platinum Airways hosts an active forum and a screenshot of the week competition, with the winner providing the main picture on its home page for the next week.
