A Virtual Airline set in the world of
Microsoft Flight Simulator
Orbital Airways was founded in 2018 as a casual side-project, never intended to be taken public. That changes now, as we expand and open it to everyone.
Expanding Our Orbit
Orbital Airways aims to be a casual experience for those enthusiastic about aviation and flight simulation.
✔ Casual Professionalism
While we aim to be as professional and realistic as possible, we embrace this as a hobby and not a full-fledged career. We strive to incorporate real-world procedures and realism into a fun, hobbyist atmosphere.
✔ Light Activity Requirements
Our activity requirements are achievable even for busy real-world professionals. New members complete two flights in their first 30 days, after that only one flight per 90 days is required to stay active! Pilots can rejoin and resume at any time if they drop off our roster.
✔ Open Door Policy
Our management has an open door policy — if you have questions or would like to raise a concern, we’re here for you to do so at any time.
✔ Global Operations
Our operations span across the globe between our four wholly-owned operators: Orbital Airways (ORB) and Orbital Express (ORX) with USA-centric flying; Orbital Cargo (ORC) for freight operations; and Air Teremun (TMN) operating our European and Eastern routes!
Come fly with us!
New pilot registration resumes on December 1st!
We are ever-expanding our livery choices for many of the most popular —and realistic— aircraft addons.
We are currently working on adapting our liveries for MSFS24 compatability.
