About Us
Our Mission
To become the leading provider of quality virtual
airlines. No really. We feel every major airline
deserves to have a virtual counterpart. Each VA
deserves to have it's own dedicated webpage and
independent management team. This is how we operate
unlike other flight simulator groups that are out
there today.
Our Website
We are very aware of the legal ramifications
for creating a VA based on a real world airline.
You will not see the Lufthansa logo on this web
site (except for screenshots and airplane photos)
or any material from the Lufthansa website.
The website design and colors are very different from
Lufthansa Airline's website to avoid issues with trade
dress rights. The .com domain
was deemed inappropriate since it is associated with
for profit businesses. We chose a
non-profit .org domain name:
http://www.flyingtigersgroup.org/Lufthansa .
All of this was done so that we couldn't be accused
of passing off a trademark. This was done so that
the average Joe would find it very difficult to confuse
this website with the Lufthansa website.
Our Group
As
far as we know this is 3rd or 4th attempt to create
a virtual airline based on Lufthansa. We are confident
that this version will be the definite Lufthansa VA!
What we bring to the table is competent management,
proven skills in web development and a first class service
to our most important asset: our pilots!
We are proudly part of the large Flying Tiger Group, that operate
several highly successful VA's covering the entire planet. These VA's stand
on their own and speak for themselves, but all of these VAs are integrated
using our advanced systems and database, therefore by joining Lufthansa VA
you will automatically have access to all the FTG Virtual Airlines.
Our lively Message Board is buzzing with the latest in flying tips, virtual airline operation, hot
flight simulator gossip and so much more. Most importantly, always remember
that no question or request is ever too small or indeed large. We are here
for our pilots 24/7.
