5. On this site we have the option to

  • buy a new aircraft from the manufacturers list
  • buy a used aircraft from the traders list
  • lease an aircraft from another airline
  • order a aircraft which is out of production

We want to buy a new aircraft and click on "The manufacturers list".

6. Because we do not have a lot of money (23.000.000v$) we want to build up a small fleet for short intercity flights, so lets buy a Beech King Air 350 by clicking on the "Buy"-Icon

12. You have successfully created a new fleet and added your first airplanes to it - cool. The last step before actually jumping into the pilot seat and earn some money is to set up a routes which define where our Virtual Airline is going to operate.
