March 2026 VA Update

Hello pilots,

In this month's news we will provide some development and VA updates.

Development updates

We have updated our support ticket submission to be more structured, which will allow you to more easily provide all the information we need so we can help you quicker. If you have any feedback about this, please let us know.

Schedule updates

Next month the update of Northern hemisphere Winter to Summer schedules will take place. We will try to complete this as quickly as possible from the second week of April onwards, but this may take a couple of weeks to complete.

Tour updates

We continue to work on updating our existing tours, and if you have tours that you would like to see do not hesitate to let us know!

The monthly tour takes you across Oceania and Southeast Asia. If you have any suggestions on tours you would like to see, please let us know on Discord.

Closed airspaces

The new developments regarding the crisis in the Middle East will be closely monitored, but at this moment with the uncertainty of the near future developments we are not taking any action regarding routes to the area.

Remember that some current scheduled flight time durations may need to be amended due to longer flying times on account of closed airspaces. We would recommend checking your route prior to departure especially if it crosses and known airspaces with known security warnings. A complete overview can be found here. If the great circle route of your flight crosses any airspace with known safety NOTAMs a notice is placed on your flight briefing page.

Please adhere to these closures when performing flights on the VA. Reviewers may reject flight reports that cross long time conflict areas, but there are exceptions. In doubt please check FR24 or Flightaware for the real life flights.

Event Updates

We are working on adding more events to our event calender. Please let us know via Discord what kind of events you would like to see! If you have other events on online platforms that you feel are a good match to include on the VA please let us know. To receive more frequent updates please subscribe to the Event Announcements notifications on our Discord server.
