Delta Virtual Airlines Celebrates 25 Years

This month marks a remarkable milestone for Delta Virtual Airlines as we celebrate 25 years of community, dedication, and passion for flight simulation.

Since our founding in 2001, Delta Virtual Airlines has grown into one of the longest-running and most respected virtual airlines in the flight simulation community. What began as a small group of enthusiasts has evolved into a global community of pilots brought together by a shared love for aviation and online flying.

Over the past quarter century, thousands of pilots have logged flights through DVA, explored destinations across the world, and formed lasting friendships along the way. The success of Delta Virtual Airlines has always been driven by the incredible dedication of our members.

Join the Celebration — DVA25 Events

To celebrate this milestone, we encourage all pilots to participate in our DVA25 anniversary events throughout the month. These events are a great opportunity to fly together as a community, connect with fellow pilots, and celebrate everything Delta Virtual Airlines has accomplished over the past 25 years.

Whether you're a long-time member or a new pilot just getting started, we invite you to join the fun and help make these anniversary flights truly special.

Thank You to Our Community

This milestone would not have been possible without the continued support of our pilots, staff members, and the broader flight simulation community, including networks such as VATSIM, which help bring our flights to life every day.

Your passion and dedication are what make Delta Virtual Airlines more than just a virtual airline — it is a thriving and welcoming community.

Looking Ahead

While this month is a time to celebrate our past, it is also an opportunity to look forward to the future. We remain committed to continuing the legacy of Delta Virtual Airlines and providing an exceptional virtual airline experience for years to come.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.

Let’s celebrate together and make this anniversary month one to remember.

12/25/2025 Merry Christmas Joe Burner
Dear Delta Virtual Airlines Member Pilots and Staff,

As we celebrate the Christmas season, I would like to take a moment to extend my sincere thanks to each of you—our pilots, staff, instructors, and community member pilots —who make Delta Virtual Airlines such a special and respected organization.

Christmas is a time of reflection, gratitude, and togetherness. Over the past year, your dedication, professionalism, and passion for virtual aviation have continued to elevate our community and strengthen the values on which Delta Virtual Airlines was founded. Whether you logged flights across the globe, supported fellow pilots, contributed behind the scenes, or helped mentor new members, your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

This season also reminds us of the importance of camaraderie and service—values that define both aviation and our Delta Virtual Airlines family. We are proud of what we have accomplished together and look forward to another year of growth, innovation, and shared success in the skies.

On behalf of the Delta Virtual Airlines senior leadership team, I wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a joyful, safe, and prosperous New Year. May the holiday season bring you peace, happiness, and many smooth landings.

04/17/2025 Discontinuation of POSCON Support Joe Burner

Dear Delta Virtual Airlines Community,

We regret to inform you that, effective immediately, Delta Virtual Airlines will no longer be supporting POSCON (Positive Control Network). After careful consideration, it has become clear that the limited data and persistent issues, particularly the challenge of ATC online controllers rarely being available, have hindered the effectiveness and reliability of POSCON for our operations.

We have always strived to provide the best virtual aviation experience for our pilots, and after evaluating the available options, we believe that focusing on other platforms better aligns with our goals and the needs of our virtual airline community.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we continue to support other online networks such as VATSIM and IVAO, which ensures a more consistent and reliable flying experience for all. We encourage you to reach out to our operations team if you have any questions or concerns regarding this change.

Thank you for your continued dedication to Delta Virtual Airlines. We remain committed to offering the highest quality virtual airline experience.

Best Regards,
Delta Virtual Airlines Senior Leadership Team
