Published on 16/10/2023 at 09:00

In an era of advanced technology and rapidly evolving simulation software, virtual airlines have taken off as a popular hobby and business venture for aviation enthusiasts. Whether you're running a small virtual airline for friends or managing a large virtual airline with a global presence, choosing the right Software as a Service (SaaS) platform is essential for the smooth operation and growth of your virtual airline. This article will guide you through the process of selecting the ideal SaaS platform to manage your virtual airline effectively.

Understanding virtual airlines

Virtual airlines mirror the operations of real-world counterparts, allowing flight enthusiasts to simulate the life of a pilot, air traffic controller, or airline executive. These organizations typically involve scheduling flights, managing routes, maintaining aircraft, and providing immersive experiences for participants. To streamline these activities, a dedicated SaaS platform like FlyZold is indispensable.

Factors to consider when choosing a SaaS Platform for your virtual airline

As your virtual airline grows, the SaaS platform should have the flexibility to scale up and adapt to your expanding needs. Ensure that it can accommodate an increasing number of pilots, aircraft, and routes without compromising performance.

An intuitive and user-friendly interface is critical for your virtual pilots. A well-designed platform will facilitate navigation and reduce the learning curve for new participants. The user experience should be seamless, making it enjoyable for your virtual pilots.

A robust SaaS platform should offer advanced flight planning and scheduling tools. It should enable you to create and modify routes, define flight parameters, and set up realistic flight schedules easily. Integration with real-world aviation data is a valuable feature.

Managing your virtual fleet is essential. Look for a platform that allows you to acquire, maintain, and customize aircraft. The ability to integrate third-party aircraft models can be beneficial.

Efficiently handle memberships, including virtual pilots applications, onboarding, and progression tracking. A good SaaS platform should have built-in systems for evaluating virtual pilots performance and progression.

Data is key to making informed decisions and improvements in your virtual airline. Ensure your chosen platform provides comprehensive analytics, including flight statistics, financial reports, and virtual pilots activity.

Building a community among your virtual airline members is crucial. Choose a platform that includes communication tools like forums, messaging systems, and event coordination features.

Your chosen SaaS platform should integrate well with other software or services you may use, such as flight simulators, communication platforms, or third-party plugins.

Protecting sensitive member information is a top priority. Ensure that the platform has robust security features to safeguard user data and maintain the integrity of your virtual airline.

Reliable customer support and regular software updates are vital to address issues promptly and stay up to date with the latest developments in the virtual aviation world.

Several SaaS platforms cater to virtual airline management, each offering its unique set of features and capabilities.

What is FlyZold ?

FlyZold is a virtual airline management system that allows virtual airlines to manage simply and efficiently their content through our simple and unique interface.

We believe that our solution will bring new impetus to flight simulation, more particularly by bringing a touch of modernity to the existing system by offering even more advanced technologies and by offering an even more advanced interface that can adapt to the majority of virtual airlines.

A virtual airline simulates the operations of a real airline or has been invented from scratch and offers virtual pilots, after registration, the possibility to make regular flights between different destinations, helicopter flights, or cargo flights.

Generally, the flight performed is recorded either automatically by a software called "flight tracker" (our solution uses for example the smartCARS software) during the flight, or after the flight directly on the FlyZold interface of the virtual airline where virtual pilots publishes a manual flight report.

The flight report is called a "PIREP". It includes information related to the aircraft used, the departure and arrival airports, the altitude, the flight time and more generally all the events that occurred during the flight.

Each PIREP is then saved by our system and can be found in the virtual pilot's logbook, where each PIREP can be consulted to find all the information related to it presented in the form of graphs, maps or dashboards.

A virtual airline management system is a web application that makes it simple and easy to manage the various contents of a virtual airline.

The functionalities of a virtual airline management system are numerous. Among other things, it allows several people to work on different pages or blog articles or even to structure the content of a virtual airline (FAQ, articles, blog), to prioritize users and assign them permissions.

FlyZold is a virtual airline management system allowing administrators of virtual airlines to manage all of their content (airports, aircraft, schedules, PIREPs, users) efficiently and fluidly, through a modern and elegant interface.

To create your own virtual airline, you need to follow certain rules, depending on the airline you represent.

In the case of a fictitious airline, you need to make sure that it doesn't exist, and that you have all the copyright you need to create it (including names, logos, etc...). In the case of a real airline, you must first obtain all the necessary authorizations from the real airline you want to represent in order to represent it virtually.

Once you have all the necessary authorizations, all you have to do is create your first airports, aircraft, grades and schedules in our virtual airline management system by clicking on the "Subscribe now" button in the main navigation menu.
