ConfluenceAir

Confluence Air has launched its Regional Lines — four named ATR-42 feeder routes flying out of St. Louis (KSUS). If you've wanted a regional VA that takes the short-haul side of the hobby seriously, this one's built for it. A quick intro if we're new to you. Confluence Air is an independent regional carrier modeled on the United Express feeders: scheduled service to 27 destinations, a fleet of CRJ-550/700/900s and ATR 42/72-600s, real flight numbers, and a phpVMS crew portal that logs every leg through smartCARS. We fly on VATSIM, with SayIntentions AI ATC for 24/7 control, or offline — MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024, or X-Plane 12. The name comes from St. Louis sitting where the Missouri and Mississippi meet. Where the rivers meet, routes begin. The Regional Lines are our ATR-42 network. Each line runs a string of short hops out to a regional hub and an express leg back to St. Louis: River Line — up the Missouri River corridor to Kansas City Illinois Line — across the Illinois prairie to Chicago O'Hare Southern Line — through the confluence country to Indianapolis Ozark Line — the old Frisco railroad route through the Ozarks to Little Rock These are 20-to-40-minute legs into airports most networks skip — Columbia, Quincy, Cape Girardeau, Joplin, Paducah. It's the flying the ATR-42 was made for, and all four lines are live right now as flyable tours in the crew portal. Fly a line end to end and you earn its badge. Joining is free and setup takes a few minutes — grab smartCARS, pick a line, and fly. Website: confluenceair.com Discord: discord.gg/EGKAefbNGB
