About Us – why we do it?

… it seems that we like doing it

 

Foreword

 

Your Airways history dates back to the end of the year 2007, when the founders of  Your Airways (then known as JH Air) discovered the wonderful Maddog 2006. Since then, the Your Airways has went through several changes that have made us the biggest active virtual aviation related service provider in Estonia.

 

Today, Your Airways is a virtual airline, based in London, Gatwick UK and Tallinn, Estonia. Officially Founded in 2008, Your Airways is the first independent and longest running virtual airline run by Estonians. Our fleet includes Boeing 777-200LR and Boeing 737-900 NGX modelled by PMDG. We operate to various destinations all over the World (after 77L added to fleet). All flights are made in VATSIM network and operated as real as possible using the latest charts, scenery, real operation manuals and procedures.Your Airways is organized according to stringent EASA regulation, valid in the European airspace, since Estonia is a member of the European Aviation Safety Agency.  As safety and a professional attitude are some of the foremost principles of our operation, fulfilling these serious requirements is easy for us. Our goal is to maintain ourselves as the leading virtual scheduled, charter and VIP flight operator for Estonian virtual pilots. All information about operations can be found under the “intranet” section, accessible only for pilots and members of staff.

 

Concept Now


Since Estonia has a total population only about 1,3 million people, we are not a big airline and will never be.  Due to that fact, Your airways is an airline mainly focused on our pilots needs. That means that we are trying to take care of our pilots wishes about fleet, destinations, etc. At the same time, we are trying to “be” a some sort a realistic airline – if we have 10 pilots, we can not have a 10 different aircraft types in the fleet. We try to focus on less types but with a depth – we have aircraft type related procedures for airports that have restricted runways, mountains nearby or some other sort of “individualities”.

For our “virtual clients” we are a small relatively low cost airline – something between ryanair and Singapore airlines. At the same time, we want to have our passengers a unique journey with some humoristic occasions – something like “fresh” airlines from the TV series “Mile High”.
