About us
The virtual airline for professionals
Intercity is aimed at virtual pilots who want to be able to
simulate real flying as closely as possible. Using sophisticated addon
aircraft on flights with an average duration of just 96 minutes, Intercity is
the airline for pilots who like to fly and be kept busy! Read on to see what we offer in more detail.

Our short distance, high frequency operations favour turboprops and narrowbody jets and we operate only one type for each of our mission requirements to reduce costs. You'll immediately be able to fly any of aircraft. We support quality payware and freeware packages from authors such as Precision Manuals (PMDG), Majestic Simulations (MJC), Aerosoft (AS) Flight Sim Labs (FSL) and Dreamwings (DW). Each type has detailed standard operating procedures (SOPs) outlined and helpful FAQs.

Routes and schedules |

Operating bases/hubs
|
Intercity operate almost
1100 flights
a day on over 500 routes to every corner of North and West Europe, from bases in the
British Isles and Continental Europe. Our flights are normally
between 45 minutes and 2 hours in duration, which means you
spend
more time actively flying the aircraft, rather than
watching clouds and monitoring instruments!
We offer lots of variety and choosing a flight is easy with our simple Schedules Search feature. You can even pick a specific aircraft and fly its complete duty for the day (in your own time of course!). There area also charters and special events throughout the year.
Our schedules are highly realistic and consider:
weekly passenger demand between cities, existing provision by air and
rail, airport slot and parking availability, local restrictions on
operating hours, turnaround duration, optimal frequency and timing
to ensure flights are spread throughout the day and account for time
differences.

||||||||||||
| Pilots are required to fly one flight every 60 days (our
shortest flights are under 45 minutes). Pilots who do not will become inactive for
a further 90 days before being removed from the
airline, however pilots may reapply at anytime. Pilots may apply
for a maximum of 180 days leave per year and during this time
will not be subject to minimum flight requirements; longer
periods of leave will be considered on a case by case basis.
To successfully log a flight it must be a route contained within our
schedules, use the aircraft type specified and safely land. Unlike many
virtual airlines, we'll not reject flights because they landed
heavily or arrived late, although we do record this information for you. |
