| Canadian Xpress Virtual Airline® |
Canadian Xpress® is a Canadian based virtual airline that officially launched on September 4th 2009 and has adopted a free flying policy which means that you are permitted to fly any Canadian Xpress® aircraft that is available for your rank, on any route, at any time.
We support flights on both the VATSIM & IVAO networks and use CXAcars our own custom application to automatically log flights in order to save you the hassle of manually filing your flight reports.
The Canadian Xpress® fleet consists of a wide range of freeware aircraft and payware liveries for the Microsoft Flight Simulator, Lockheed Martin Prepar3D and Laminar Research X-Plane simulators with custom liveries, panels, sounds & flight dynamics that fly as realistically possible (within the constraints of the flight simulator). For every freeware aircraft in our fleet, the Canadian Xpress® livery is available for the most popular payware models.

Whether you are new pilot just starting your virtual pilot career and need help getting started or are a seasoned pilot that needs help flying the latest payware aircraft, our online training courses can help.
Pilot participation is the key at Canadian Xpress® and we encourage this by hosting over 100 events per year including our Monthly Fly-In, VATSIM Friday Night Ops, VFRiday, Sunday Flight Night and our Monthly Photo Contest. We also have our Monthly Challenge, that is a mission based challenge. Pilots get to test their skills in flying a given scenario. The winner of this challenge gets a month’s worth of bragging rights in addition to bonus hours added to their flight log, our Monthly Challenge Award as well as other prizes that vary from month to month. More information regarding our events can be found by visiting the Events menu.
