Our streamlined fleet, professional operations, and pilot-first culture make every journey meaningful.
Vista Express blends real-world airline operations with the flexibility virtual pilots need.
Vista Express delivers a seamless flying experience supported by modern tools, immersive routes, and a welcoming community.
Vista Express is a Houston-based virtual airline centered around one core belief: flight simulation is better when it brings people together.
Operating from our main hub at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (KIAH), we focus on building a community where pilots connect, learn, and grow through shared experiences. Our tagline, “Making Real Connections,” represents our commitment to forming genuine relationships—not just between destinations, but between the people who fly with us.
As a growing startup VA, we’re building our network, fleet, and operations step by step, inviting our pilots to help shape the airline’s future. With realistic procedures, modern tools, and a supportive atmosphere, Vista Express offers a place where virtual aviation evolves alongside the community at its heart.
Not at all. Vista Express welcomes pilots of all skill levels—from brand-new sim pilots to seasoned IFR flyers. Our community and training resources are here to help you grow at your own pace.
