Welcome to Gateway Island Airways
operations Page.
This page is to explain how the airline functions on a daily
basis. First as a pilot you will be awarded the number of
hours from any previous virtual airlines that you nominate.
Any pilot ,no matter what rank, can fly any route with the equipment
that is most appropriate for that route. We have four hubs
here at Gateway Island Airways, Philadelphia our main hub,
San Juan our main hub for the Caribbean, Honolulu our main hub for the
pacific and Seattle our home in the northwest. You may choose any flights
from any of these hubs. We encourage the use of AC Loader for your flight
planning and also FS Navigator these are two great tools for FS2000 to
FS2004. |

AC
Loader
My name is Brian Keates, CEO of Gateway
Island Airways. I use AC Loader before every flight. It is a great tool
for calculating fuel usage, passenger load and many other pre flight items. I encourage the use of this tool to create more realism in our
flights. This is a great tool at a very inexpensive price. We the
Members of Gateway Island Airways will be eligible for a discount when
purchasing a download of this product. To find out more about AC Loader
click on the picture to go to their website. |

FS Navigator
I
also encourage the use of FS Navigator. This is a great tool for
navigating the skies of flight simulator and also for great pre-flight
planning. Click on the logo to go to the FS Navigator site |
