Welcome Aboard Sky Blue Radio Airlines!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Pilots and Aviation Enthusiasts — welcome to Sky Blue Radio Airlines (SBRA), the official Virtual Airline of Sky Blue Radio!
Powered by phpVMS, our brand-new crew center at skyblueradio.com/sbra brings a professional and immersive experience to the Sky Blue Radio community. Whether you fly for fun, for realism, or just for the love of aviation, SBRA gives you a home in the virtual skies — with the soundtrack of Sky Blue Radio along for every leg.
Our airline runs on the phpVMS platform, the same system used by many of the world’s most advanced virtual airlines. Once you’re signed in to your pilot dashboard, you’ll be able to:
Book and Fly Routes across our growing global network
Track Your Flights Live using our ACARS system

Every flight you complete earns you virtual pay, flight hours, and experience points — all while contributing to the success of Sky Blue Radio Airlines.
Here at SBRA, we believe in realism with a touch of fun. That’s why airport operating costs are automatically factored into your flights.
Every time you complete a leg, your virtual airline balance reflects realistic operational expenses — including:
Jet A fuel costs
Ground crew and handling fees
Landing and gate fees
Maintenance and wear costs
This system keeps the airline economy dynamic, adding an authentic management layer to your flying. The better our pilots perform, the stronger Sky Blue Radio Airlines becomes!
