31 March 2020:  New airports and routes

Dear pilots and visitors.

Atlas is proud to announce the addition of two new destinations to our network: Washington Dulles (KIAD) and Eindhoven (NL).

Furthermore, we have added 78 new routes to our network, serving not only these two new destinations but also existing airports. There's some interesting long-haul flights like Frankfurt-Honolulu, Dubai-Melbourne, Dubai-Sydney and Dubai-Auckland. But there are also short-haul flights to previously underserved airports like Dusseldorf and Wilmington.

Remember that if you fly a route for the first time, you get extra points, and if you are the first to fly to a new destination you get an award. 

We hope you enjoy these additions and come fly with us. 

best regards,

Atlas Virtual Airlines

17 January 2018:  The end of the Tupolev Tu154b

Due to its lack of popularity, all Tupolev Tu154b aircraft have been retired with immediate effect, and are replaced with McDonnell-Douglas MD-81.

I hope that this change will ignite some increased interest in the mostly unflown scheduled flights that were hitherto serviced with this aircraft. with kind regards, Mike Bravo
