Vista Express was founded by long time veterans of the virtual airline world pilots who have spent years flying, managing, and building within the flight simulation community. Drawing from that experience, we set out to create a virtual airline that blends professional operations with a welcoming, down to earth atmosphere where every pilot feels at home.

Based at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (KIAH), Vista Express was built on a simple belief: virtual aviation is at its best when it connects people. Our tagline, “Making Real Connections,” reflects our commitment to forming genuine friendships and a sense of belonging, not just replicating real-world operations.

As a startup airline, we’re growing step by step, building our fleet, routes, and systems alongside the community that flies with us. We emphasize realism where it enhances immersion, proper dispatching, structured flight operations, consistent SOPs, but we never lose sight of the fact that this hobby is meant to be fun. Vista Express provides a place where new pilots can learn, experienced pilots can challenge themselves, and everyone can enjoy flying with a supportive group of like-minded aviation enthusiasts.

Whether you’re here for the realism, the community, or the joy of exploring new horizons, Vista Express is a place to connect, grow, and truly enjoy the journey. Welcome aboard.
