Domain problems on the website
Date: December 03, 2025 | Author: (AOC Director)Hi everyone,
by the poll results, i assume nowing our problems with the domain name of the website interest you.
Our first domain we wanted to buy was a .be domain, cheap and meaningful for the va, but when buying a .be domain you will need to verify your identity, wich i did, but they refused, so i sent an e-mail to their support and they asked for proof of residence, and a signed document of brussels airlines to register the url, wich we don't have, yes and i had already given them a proof of residence, we are on the opinion that, brussels airlines would never even consider sending us a document for authorization and that if we don't ask they will do nothing because it is doing some publicity and not harmfull to the brand.
Our registar, by chance offered a free .store domain with the .be domain, so we had a working domain (yes DNS belgium, the guys who are blocking the .be domain are from what i now the only one's in the world to ask for identity proof, .store DNS only asks for e-mail verification and .com's one for nothing), this is why we switched to a .store domain, wich took around 24h to be activated to the website, in the mean time we bought and activated the .com domain, because it was with an other registar wich is our hoster too, adn that is why we have gotten in around 2 hour a second switch.

Executive promotions

These two were among the very first to join me on this journey, and definitely won’t be the last. With the recent surge of new members (thanks to a very effective TikTok… woops), expanding our leadership team is a natural and healthy step as our company continues to grow, both in pilot count and in departmental structure.
I want to express how proud I am of Bash and Jules and oh boy, how long I looked forward to this moment! We are all lucky to have them contributing daily to the success of Brussels Airlines FLYLAT. Their hard work and passion push this project forward every single day.
- BASHKIM will be promoted from Chief Pilot to Flight Crew Director Taking charge of the Pilot Training & Management Department
- jules1468 will be promoted from Dispatcher to AOC Director And will be in charge of the Airline Operations Control Department
Please congratulate them for this glorious achievement!

Date: November 25, 2025 | Author: (CEO)IMPORTANT: Cancellation Flight OPS
Date: November 24, 2025 | Author: (CEO)As you all know, there are strikes going on at our hub (EBBR). It will be in effect from 25/11/2025 - 21:00UTC (il y a 2 jours) until 26/11/2025 - 22:59UTC
This will also have an impact on our flight operations. Therefore, the Flight OPS department decided that we are cancelling all our flights EXCEPT:
- All returning flights
- EBBR -> LLBG
- EBBR -> EPWA
- EBBR -> LFMN
You may see in the NOTAM that it says "NO DEPARTING FLIGHTS", but our management negotiated with BAC (Brussels Airport Company) and the Unions, to only operate 3 routes.
New Record Monthly Turnover
Date: November 23, 2025 | Author: (CEO)Once again, I’m very happy to announce that we’ve already broken our previous record of 150 million euros! As of today, our turnover has reached 156 million euros, and the month isn’t even over yet!
Considering that we’re still waiting for Simmy to release the new update so we can purchase additional A/Cs, our only major expense right now is fuel. This means we’ll likely “have” to order even more aircraft than expected next month. Oops! 🤭
All of this is thanks to your hard work, dedication, and commitment to Brussels Airlines Flylat and its mission. I’m excited to see us grow even further, especially our Flight Crew. So if you invite your friends or fellow flight simmers and introduce them to us, you’ll be helping not only the company, but also yourself, by boosting your own reputation.
PROMOTION
Date: November 22, 2025 | Author: (Chief Pilot)A huge congratulations to Louisvxm for reaching a milestone of 11 flight hours with Brussels Airlines. This achievement marks his well-deserved promotion from CADET to SECOND OFFICER, officially earning his two stripes!
Throughout his journey so far, he has completed 5 flights and safely transported over 600 passengers, demonstrating both skill and commitment in every flight. This promotion is a true reflection of his hard work, professionalism, and passion for aviation.
Congratulations once again, and here’s to many more successful flights ahead!
Logo Change
Date: November 20, 2025 | Author: (CEO)Here we are again with a poll!
Would you like us to keep our current logo or change to one more suiting to FlyLAT? What do you think?
POLL regarding A/C purchases...
Date: November 15, 2025 | Author: (CEO)Would you like us to invest in a320NEO's? My opinion is that most of us bought the FENIX320, and see no reason to fly a freeware plane (fwb32N), so no reason for us to fly actual 320N's in flylat nor investing in a more expensive plane. But nevertheless, I want your opinion!
Keep in mind, if you do a flight in flylat using (for example) an a320NEO, but you fly the Fenix320 model. Flylat disagrees and you are not able to connect. What I mean by that is, if you choose a NEO A/C in flylat, you actually have to fly one in MFS.
Minor announcement
Date: November 15, 2025 | Author: (CEO)We opened a new route to the greek island of Corfu! EBBR/LGKR
SN3047 & SN3048
Promotion
Date: November 11, 2025 | Author: (Chief Pilot)A huge congratulations to Fenne for reaching a milestone of 11 flight hours with Brussels Airlines. This achievement marks his well-deserved promotion from CADET to SECOND OFFICER, officially earning his two stripes!
Throughout his journey so far, he has completed 5 flights and safely transported over 600 passengers, demonstrating both skill and commitment in every flight. This promotion is a true reflection of his hard work, professionalism, and passion for aviation.
Congratulations once again, and here’s to many more successful flights ahead!
Registration of New A/C? (Belgian Icons)
Date: November 10, 2025 | Author: (CEO)Our company executives (me) decided to place a new A/C order later this week. We have additional budget in making 2 **Belgian Icons**. Yes you heard me! BELGIAN ICONS!!!!
Now the only way to separate a normal A/C with an icon A/C in Flylat is giving them a special registration.
For example, normal A/C have OO-SS registrations. How would you like our purchasing department (me) to register our new icons? (Only 7 characters allowed)
For example: Amare: OO-AMRE, TinTin: OO-TINT....
You can choose what we take, do we stick with the "OO-..." or put that away and take full advantage of the 7 character limit? You decide! Answer this poll or suggest something else in the discussion channels!
Opening of our Airline Operations Control Department (AOC)
Date: November 9, 2025 | Author: (CEO)We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our AOC department, the team responsible for ensuring your flights are guided safely through the skies!
jules1468 and I have worked hard to implement an efficient system for our dispatchers, and it’s finally ready. We’re proud to open this department with Jules as our first **Dispatcher**!.
Even though some updates are coming to our dispatching software, it will remain fully functional. From now on, Jules and I will be here to guide you through every flight, ensuring smooth and safe operations!
Congratulations jules1468!

Opening of Three New Departments!
Date: November 5, 2025 | Author: (CEO)Greetings, we’re opening three new departments at Brussels Airlines FlyLat, marking an important step in our continued growth and professionalism. We’re looking for motivated members who know the basics of FlyLat, are eager to learn, and are enthusiastic about helping our virtual airline grow.
Pilot Management/Training Department:
The **Chief Pilot** will lead training for new Cadets, guide them through the Line Training program, and oversee pilot promotions/demotions. Department Head: **Flight Crew Director**.
Flight OPS Department:
The **Flight OPS Manager** will ensure aircraft remain operational, manage flight schedules, maintain profitability, and handle maintenance scheduling. This role oversees the entire fleet. Department Head: **Flight Operations Director**.

DM LUCAS IF INTERESTED.
This Month’s Numbers: October Profit Exceeds Expectations!
Date: November 1, 2025 | Author: (CEO)Unbelievable! Our finance department (aka me…) did not expect us to break even, let alone turn a profit, in October. We invested in 7 new aircraft, spending nearly **$100 million**, and honestly didn’t think we’d recover that cost this quickly. Don't forget we nearly **quadrupled our previous month earnings**...
But thanks to our amazing pilots and their outstanding work on newly launched routes, we did it! In record time, we opened 6 new routes, a groundbreaking achievement for us.
Yes, we’re still sitting at a $157 million loss for 2025, but that’s entirely due to our expansion strategy and aircraft investments. Stay tuned for more updates soon… and maybe even a few more aircraft purchases. **Spoiler: Next month introducing: ... Belgian ic**s**..**
HUGE CONGRATS: BASHKIM Reaches 100 Flight Hours!
Date: October 29, 2025 | Author: (CEO)Massive congratulations to **BASHKIM for reaching an incredible 100 Flight Hours!** This is an amazing achievement, especially accomplished in such a short time. Your dedication and consistency in the virtual skies truly stand out.
Already flying as Captain, we can only imagine what heights the future holds for you! Keep soaring high and inspiring others! Blue skies ahead!
PROMOTION: jules1468 Promoted to First Officer!
Date: October 28, 2025 | Author: (CEO)Congrats to **jules1468 for reaching 26 flight hours!** He's promoted to **First Officer**. Enjoy those 3 stripes mate!
AOC Issue Resolved (ACARS Log Off)
Date: October 27, 2025 | Author: (CEO)Dear pilots, as you all might now, we had an ongoing issue with our ACARS system where the mandatory log off message would never be delivered to our AOC after landing.
The reason was that after landing, the Fenix sim resets the current flight plan. Once the Flight plan gets deleted, so does your flightnumber in the INIT page. Our ACARS system **NEEDS 2 flightnumbers inputted (INIT Page & AOC MENU)**.
So once at the gate, and you are going to send your arrival message, you need to **re-imput the flight number in the INIT page** and then you are able to send the message to our AOC!
If you have any questions feel free to ask them any time.
PROMOTION
Date: October 23, 2025 | Author: (CEO)Dear pilots,

New Route to Kos International Airport & Flightnumber Code Change
Date: October 21, 2025 | Author: (CEO)For your info: Following our recent verification with FlyLAT, our flightnumber code for **all new routes is now SN**. **Important:** Existing (old) routes still use BEL, ex. BEL2028.
Our most recent new route, to Kos International Airport (LGKO), uses **SN3029**, not BEL3029.

NEW A/C PURCHASE
Date: October 20, 2025 | Author: (CEO)I’m pleased to share some exciting news regarding our ongoing expansion. Our growth strategy is moving forward at full speed, and the results are beginning to take shape. Earlier today, we held a productive meeting with Airbus to discuss the next phase of our fleet development. Following those discussions, we made the decision to place an order for eight new aircraft as part of our continued commitment to strengthening and modernizing our operations.
"This marks an important milestone in our journey toward expanding both our capacity and network reach. The addition of these new aircraft will not only enhance our operational flexibility but also support the growing demand we are experiencing across our routes."- Lucas, CEO
Please join us in welcoming the newest additions to our fleet:
A320-215: OO-NN
A320-215: OO-OO
A320-215: OO-PP
A320-215: OO-QQ
A320-215: OO-RR
A320-215: OO-SS
A330-9n: OO-SFA
The six A320s are currently located in Hamburg (EDHI) and are expected to arrive at EBBR tomorrow. They will be ferried either by an external company or by our own pilots.
In addition, we have acquired a brand-new A330-900neo to support the expansion of our long-haul network in Africa. This aircraft is presently in North Africa and will be flown to EBBR later this afternoon.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication, which enable us to grow faster than ever before.

RECORD PROFITS: Beating Last Month’s Total Revenue by Mid-October!
Date: October 12, 2025 | Author: (CEO)Hey everyone! I’m beyond proud to announce that we’ve already **beaten last month’s total revenue, and it’s only October 12th!** That’s absolutely incredible and officially a new record for us!
Last month (September), we brought in 46.3 million in revenue, but had huge expenses totaling 77.9 million (aircraft orders), leaving a net loss of -31.5 million.
As of today, we’ve already passed the 46.3 million revenue mark and already reached a **net profit of 32 million**, with 50 million in revenue and just 17 million in costs. At this pace, we’re well on track to build the capital we need to grow even faster and hit our goal of **50 aircraft by February 2026**.
Our finance team also believes we could break even, or even end 2025 with a profit! Let’s keep this momentum going!

New Non-Standard Procedures (NON-STD) Implemented
Date: October 1, 2025 | Author:Attention pilots, we are introducing a new set of **Non-Standard Procedures (NON-STD)** for our operations. These procedures define how and what to communicate to the AOC during and after any situation that falls outside normal operations.
Effective immediately, every pilot in the company is required to follow them. They are designed to keep our operations consistent, realistic, and professional. **It is important to note:**
- Aircraft and crew safety always come first. Real-world emergency checklists and actions take absolute priority.
- Communication with the AOC should only be made once it is safe to do so.
- Following any NON-STD procedure, the aircraft will be placed directly into **A-CHECK maintenance** by our dispatch team in FlyLatt. This ensures a genuine financial impact, reinforcing that our operations are more than just fiction.
Please read the full procedures carefully and apply these in your future flights.
