Welcome to SWISS Virtual
Flight simulation for Friends of SWISS
We bring SWISS and flight simulation together
SWISS Virtual is a global community of flight simulator pilots joining forces to reproduce the entire flight operations of SWISS in the most realistic way possible. We represent the airline in the diverse world of flight simulation and pride ourselves on excellence.
Each flight is analyzed by our flight operations team and valuable feedback is provided to continuously improve your flight simulation pilot skills.
We are the Friends of SWISS
Our flight simulator pilots collectively spend thousands hours of their time representing SWISS to the best of their abilities in the flight simulation community. This makes our association the most vibrant and active fan community of SWISS.
As a community, we go beyond flight simulation and support the next generation of aviation talents in finding their calling in a career in aviation. For this purpose, we work together with partners across the aviation industry in Switzerland.
What is SWISS Virtual
We are a non-profit association based at Zurich Airport, Switzerland. Within our community, we are considered to be a “virtual airline”. This means that we provide the environment needed for flight simulator pilots to enjoy their hobby in the most realistic way possible.
Our purpose is to provide a community for people passionate about the airline SWISS, help our flight simulator pilots improve and expand their skills and support young talents aiming for a career in aviation.
While flight simulation is generally a recreational game, we consider it a comprehensive hobby. We aim to reproduce the SWISS flight operations as accurately as possible, with enormous care to procedural accuracy. We proudly represent SWISS on the VATSIM and IVAO online multiplayer networks.
