About the alliance
Interline Freight Partners brings serious cargo virtual airlines together under one banner, so good operators are easier to find and fly with. The alliance provides three things and touches nothing else about how each member runs its own airline.
- Interline runs
- One shipment, two networks. A member flies the first leg, hands it off at a shared hub, and another member flies it onward — a weekend event with a shared tally.
- Shared events
- Joint operations and fly-ins across member airlines: a larger community to fly alongside than any one cargo VA has on its own.
- Recognition
- A founding-member mark for your site and Discord, plus cross-promotion so every member reaches a wider audience.
Member airlines
Independent cargo operators, each keeping its own identity. Founding membership is open; the airlines that join first help shape the alliance.
How an interline run works
An interline run is a single shipment flown in legs across two members' networks. There is no shared software: each pilot flies in their own simulator and logs the flight in their own VA. A shared sheet records the handoff.
What Interline will never do
- Own, control, or absorb your airline.
- Poach your pilots — no member recruits from another's ranks.
- Take your roster or your member data.
- Change your branding, your platform, or how you run your VA.
- Charge fees, or ask for money.
- Demand exclusivity — fly with whoever you like.
Any member can leave at any time and keep everything it came in with — its pilots, its brand, its data.
Requirements to join
- An active cargo or cargo-capable virtual airline.
- A website or Discord where your operation lives.
- Willingness to display the Interline founding-member mark.
- Run in good faith — real operations, real pilots.
Common questions
- Does it cost anything?
- No. There are no fees or dues of any kind, now or later.
- Do we lose any independence?
- No. You keep your airline, your pilots, your platform, your branding, and your roster. The alliance owns nothing and controls nothing.
- Which simulators?
- Members fly across MSFS and X-Plane. Events are arranged so pilots on either can take part.
- How many members are there?
- The founding group is forming. Pagani Air Cargo is the first member, with a small number of founding seats open.
- Can we leave later?
- At any time, keeping everything you came in with. Membership is a handshake, not a contract.
