About us

Since 2002, SWISS Virtual has brought the precision and elegance of Swiss International Air Lines to the flight simulation world. We are a registered non-profit association of dedicated pilots who believe that virtual aviation, done right, can be every bit as rewarding as the real thing. Our motto, "As Real As It Gets," is not marketing copy, it is a philosophy that guides how we operate. It means the procedures, callsigns, and operational culture you encounter here mirror what you would find in a real airline environment, adapted thoughtfully for the simulation context. Every system, every procedure, and every piece of documentation is crafted with care. We would rather do fewer things well than many things poorly. That discipline has sustained SWISS Virtual for more than two decades, and it is the reason our community continues to grow while maintaining the standards that define us.

What makes us special?

All of our PIREPs are reviewed manually by experienced and trained staff members. We provide an extensive range of documentation ranging from FCOM's for all aircraft in our fleet to specific airport information data sheets. Finally, we are the official virtual airline of SWISS and maintain a good relationship to provide even more benefits and insights to our members.

If you want to fly for a truly SWISS-inspired virtual airline, this is the place for you! From a great and fun community to high realism and Swiss excellence. A little exam at the beginning (you´ve got this!), PIREPs validated from real staff and also a great SOP-based knowledge base were what made me curious at first. And it was definitely the right choice. Don´t hesitate and apply now! You won´t regret it.

Swiss Virtual has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in flight simulation. The community is extremely welcoming, professional, and active, which makes every flight even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is fantastic, and you can really tell how much effort the staff puts into creating a realistic and enjoyable environment for everyone. Everything feels incredibly modern and well thought out, and we constantly receive new features, improvements, and updates that make the airline even better over time. The level of detail and dedication behind Swiss Virtual is honestly impressive. Without a doubt, Swiss Virtual is the best virtual airline I have ever flown for, and I would recommend it to absolutely everyone who is passionate about aviation and flight simulation. It’s an amazing community and an incredible, realistic experience overall.

Friendly, professional, realistic (a lot of resources for pilots and every flight is reviewed by a human), and always improving.

Public Review Guidelines

We welcome honest and constructive feedback from pilots. To keep reviews useful and fair, please follow these rules:

  1. Base it on your own experience — You must be a current or former pilot of the Virtual Airline you are reviewing, and only write about what you have personally experienced.
  2. Keep it respectful — No offensive language, profanity, personal attacks, or discriminatory remarks. Criticism is fine, but focus on the airline or its operations, not individuals.
  3. Be specific enough to be meaningful — Helpful reviews include details such as routes, events, community, or support. One-line praise or criticism without explanation may be rejected.
  4. Avoid conflicts of interest — Don’t post if you’re part of a competing Virtual Airline and leaving negative feedback. Don’t review your own airline.
  5. No campaigns or manipulation — Don’t encourage others to post reviews in bulk, whether positive or negative.
How we moderate reviews
  • All reviews are checked by the MNA Team before publishing.
  • We operate on a trust basis — we assume your review is genuine unless there’s a reason to question it.
  • Reviews may be temporarily hidden if they need clarification or breach these rules.
  • If no update is provided when requested, the review may be permanently removed.
  • Initial publication does not guarantee a review will remain visible.
