| Canadian Xpress Virtual Airline® |
Canadian Xpress® is a Canadian based virtual airline that officially launched on September 4th 2009 and has adopted a free flying policy which means that you are permitted to fly any Canadian Xpress® aircraft that is available for your rank, on any route, at any time.
We support flights on both the VATSIM & IVAO networks and use FSAcars to automatically log flights in order to save you the hassle of manually filing your flight reports.
The Canadian Xpress® fleet consists of a wide range of freeware aircraft (FS9 & FSX) with custom liveries, panels, sounds & flight dynamics that fly as realistically possible (within the constraints of Microsoft Flight Simulator). For every freeware aircraft in our fleet, the Canadian Xpress® livery is available for the most popular payware models. |

Canadian Xpress® is a
VATSIM Authorized Training Orgranization
which authorizes us to train, evaluate and issue VATSIM
pilot ratings to our pilots. Whether you are new pilot
just starting your virtual pilot career and need help
getting started or are a seasoned pilot that needs
help flying the latest payware aircraft, our online
training courses can help.
Pilot participation is the key at Canadian Xpress®
and we encourage this by hosting
over 100 events per year including
our Monthly Fly-In, VFRiday, Bush League
Sunday and our Monthly Photo Contest.
We also have our Monthly Challenge, that is
a mission based challenge. Pilots get to test their
skills in flying a given scenario. The winner of this
challenge gets a month’s worth of bragging rights
in addition to bonus hours added to their flight log,
our Monthly Challenge Award as well as other
prizes that vary from month to month. More information
regarding our events can be found by visiting the
Events menu.
