===TransGear Airways last vintage event held===
===TransGear Airways last vintage event held===
[[TransGear Airways]] (TGA) held possibly its last, original-format event on March 13th. Despite being plagued by new glitches in 2.0 and the MP server, the event was a technical success. Organizer Rob Shearman (MD-TERP) plans for a bold, new format for upcoming events, involving two, intermediate-stop airport hubs instead of one, final destination hub. Alternatives had been looked at, such as a European Hub, but the airline is now committing itself to the new format. Updates can be found at [http://transgear.treborlogic.com its website].

==Virtual Airline News==
===Atlas Virtual Airlines talks and hearings begin===
Well, folks, the talk of the Multiplayer forums for the past month or two has been revolving around the new, "super-[[virtual airline]]" of FlightGear: [[Atlas Virtual Airlines]]. Intended to solve the increasing issue of underpopulation throughout the FlightGear Virtual Airline world, AVA has merged almost all active/idle VAs into one, drastically lowering the number of Virtual Airlines. AVA is now well into the planning stage, and many important aspects of the airline have been decided. The original hub, for instance, will be [[Frankfurt am Main Airport|Frankfurt am Main]] (EDDF). A livery scheme ([http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4033/4386802750_e053a48108_o.png click for a B1900D preview]) has been chosen as well. Another huge step was made in the purchasing of a domain, [http://www.atlasvirtualairlines.com AtlasVirtualAirlines.com], which will be worked on in the coming months.
Talks have now moved off-forum to a different location, but discussion still takes place occassionally on-forum. The project is currently being overseen by SkyWlf77, Armchair Ace, and Kyokorama.
===New VAs spring up===
Two new VAs, independent from the new Atlas Virtual Airlines, have emerged: Triangle Airlines, run by user Jericho, and Sandy Oceania Airlines, COed by QF52. Both promise expanded fleets and will operate the [[Airbus A380]], and livery designs are in the making. Progress can be followed on the Forums.
