Happy New Year! Can't seem to lock the landing gear down? It is a tough transition from enjoying the Home for the Holidays Event to just going back to the day-to-day operations. So why should we risk such an abrupt landing? We don’t! Members can enjoy a back-to back event to kick off the new Year!

AirSource is proud to announce the 2nd Annual World Airline Awards Event! What is it? Taking the top 10 airlines of 2021 as announced by SKYTRAX, AirSource Pilots shall enjoy the routes of their choice, utilizing all 10 airlines in consecutive flights.

Sound easy? It might be, depending on the top 10 airlines for the particular year. Every one of the top 10 airlines must be utilized one time (in any order) for a total of 10 consecutive flights; departure airport must be the same airport as the last one landed. Members may utilize any scheduled or special crew pass flight in the system. Event runs from 2 JAN 2022 until 27 FEB 2022.

IMPORTANT! PIREP comments for all flights must include “Skytrax2021” to assist in filtering the flights for validation and award issuing.

Pilots who complete this event will earn the 2021 SkyTrax award logo in their logbook along with a v$10,000 bonus! Let us all lift off 2022 with a celebration of the top airlines of last year, good luck!

Hmmmmm I wonder if this is Doable in a A320Neo...
That is all I fly these days after the switch to MSFS.
With mostly Asian located airlines, it sounds like a challenge! :)

Thanks for this, Tom. Due to work commitments I couldn't get home for the holidays done in time so looking forward to this one!
