https://solarisva.org/ Since the mid-1980s, flight simulation enthusiasts have explored platforms ranging from Sublogic’s early offerings to Microsoft’s iconic simulators, through Prepar3D, X-Plane 11, and now MSFS 2020. Many have joined virtual airlines (VAs) along the way, yet some found these organizations lacked a vital element: a sense of community. In 2018, Solaris Air was founded to fill this gap, with a mission to combine realistic flight operations with a strong, vibrant social environment for pilots. At its core, Solaris Air is more than just a VA—it is a community of flight simulation enthusiasts who connect, learn, and share their passion. A key feature is its active Discord server, which encourages pilots to interact, support one another, and build friendships. This focus on camaraderie and teamwork has set Solaris Air apart, creating a unique space where pilots can truly feel at home while pursuing their shared interest in virtual aviation. Over the years, Solaris Air has grown significantly. Starting on the Sim Buddy platform in late 2018, the airline quickly outpaced the system’s limitations and moved to FSAirlines, where it thrived for three years and welcomed over 800 pilots. By the end of 2022, Solaris Air transitioned to vaBase, building a custom website to better serve its members. Today, the airline offers a broad range of opportunities, from scheduled flights across North America and Europe to global cargo operations and private charters. With its massive flight schedule database and strong emphasis on community engagement, Solaris Air continues to attract pilots eager to join a welcoming and dynamic VA.
