VELA flights are flown by people at home
VELA is a virtual airline. The flights in our timetable take place in a flight simulator, flown by real people at home — with the care and the procedures of a real airline.
If you fly the Airbus A320 family in your own simulator and would like to do it as part of a crew, we would be glad to hear from you.
