Welcome to South African Virtual

South African Virtual was founded in March 2025 by Josiah Dennis with one goal in mind—to bring the spirit of South African aviation to the virtual skies. Built on professionalism, realism, and community, we offer pilots an authentic experience flying from our two major hubs in Cape Town and O.R. Tambo. Whether you're exploring local skies or international routes, we provide structured operations, engaging events, and a place where every flight matters. Join us, and be part of the legacy we're building—one flight at a time.

Dear Pilots and Aviation Enthusiasts,

I’m proud to welcome you to South African Virtual — a place where passion for aviation takes flight and where every pilot, no matter their experience level, is part of something greater.

As a 14-year-old aviator and founder of this airline, I started South African Virtual to bring together people who love the skies as much as I do. Whether you’re logging your first virtual flight or you’re a seasoned virtual captain, here, your journey matters.

We don’t just simulate flights — we build a community. One that’s committed to professionalism, realism, and most of all, having fun while learning and growing together. From scenic routes over the African continent to long hauls across the globe, there’s always an adventure waiting.

Thank you for being part of our crew. Let’s climb to new altitudes together!

Blue skies and smooth landings,

Josiah Dennis

CEO & Founder
