    IBC Airways Virtual Replacing Cayman Corporate and Cayman Cargo

    I saw on the website that the pages for a Cayman Cargo and Cayman Corporate are dead links, and an opening position is available for Cargo Ops Director (not
    that I am applying...yet ). Well, to make it a bit more realistic, and to get a broader scope of operations in the FlyCay Corporation, I think that the Corporate and
    the Cargo should be combined into an "IBC Virtual" that is based off the real airline.

    IRL, IBC Airways is "an FAR Part 135 on-demand airline headquartered in unincorporated Broward County, Florida, near Fort Lauderdale. IBC Airways operates
    on-demand cargo services to the Caribbean. Its main bases are Miami International Airport (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). In
    2005, IBC Airways began offering on-demand passenger services."

    The destinations include:
    Domestic destinations:
    Florida Miami
    Ft. Lauderdale
    Palm Beach
    St. Thomas
    St. Croix
    San Juan

    International destinations:
    Bimini
    Freeport
    Marsh Harbour
    Nassau
    Grand Exuma
    Grand Cayman
    Guantánamo Bay
    Havana
    Santiago
    Santo Domingo
    Cap-Haïtien
    Port-au-Prince
    Kingston
    Montego Bay
    Providenciales


    The fleet includes (# signifies fleet size):
    Learjet 55: 1 - Freeware, Default Lear 45
    Embraer ERJ 145: 2 - Wilco
    Saab 340B: 3 - FFS/Freeware
    Saab 340A (Cargo): 8 - FFS/Freeware
    Fairchild Metroliner - Iris FSS (In development)


    Now, I know that many of the routes presented are already covered by Cayman Airways. But, I think that this airline could work well into our fleet, and would encompass both a Corporate/Charter division and a Cargo Division. In addition, to address the fleet, I personally would welcome and enjoy smaller aircraft (including turboprops). But, larger aircraft could be included to ensure that long-range cargo operations will be able to be realized.
    Chartering Operations would be done as follows: either a) Routes and flights would be given out by the director/events coordinators (giving them things to do during the off-months) or b) routes would be scheduled and would be available on all dates.
    This would, in my opinion, be the best option for this airline and the best choice when delving into Chartering and Cargo Ops.

    I just tested the FFS Saab 340 in FSX. Gauges work perfectly, doors, animations, lights, etc. match up. I have yet to do a flight test. VC is not clickable for some reason, but that should be fixed with a FSX Panel Update found around the net.

    Well, this is an eye opener.
    I welcome the proposed idea! (this doesn't happen too often )

    Hope it does go through, and I do hope this isn't the first and last time we are hearing about this...

    Regards,

    Tayvis.
