About
Executive
Do you want to fly away from large busy metropolitan hub airports and their traffic with corporate jets exploring an alternative network of smaller challenging airports and their approaches, delivering VIP passengers on time in special destinations? If yes Executive is for you.
Executive is the latest subsidiary of Olympic Aegean Virtual Group. It commenced operations on March 2015. Its goal is the simulation of an executive airline tasked with transporting VIP passengers to/from various business hubs - mainly - and resorts of the world. Executive will operate exclusively VIP/business/executive oriented aircraft and fly to/from VIP/business/executive oriented airports. For the route structure and operations of our corporate jets, pilots of two real executive jet companies were consulted.
For anything regarding Executive, contact the division's manager at executive@oav.gr
For more info please contact the Pilots' Manager.
Features
How does it work?
Executive is simulating the financial model of a real airline (passenger fares, aircraft maintenance, pilot salaries, airport expenses, catering, fuel, etc.). Executive pilots can belong to and fly also with other OAV subsidiaries which simulate the financial model. The company is set up with a route base of 46 Corporate jet destinations in Europe.
All aircraft have unique registrations and are occupied by the pilots until they complete their flight and send their PIREP. Each aircraft is situated in a specific airport and the pilot must fly it from there to any available destination as per the schedule. Once the PIREP is sent, the aircraft moves to the destination airport awaiting its next flight/booking.
Actual aircraft registrations according to the actual fleet of the airline and simulation of actual aircraft purchases or leases
Booking a specific aircraft according to registration for the purpose of flying
The aircraft is released at the airport at which the last pilot landed
Pilots get paid on a monthly basis and also according to their activity
Ticket income depending on the load factor of the flight, ticket costs depending on the distance flown and demand according to the route
Direct and indirect operating costs of a flight such as fuel, aircraft cleaning, landing taxes, etc
Automatic sending of PIREPS through OAV ACARS

Fleet
Airbus A319-100
Fleet Size: 1 | Seats: 20
This model is the corporate jet version of the A319. It incorporates removable extra fuel tanks which are installed in the cargo compartment, and an increased service ceiling of 12,000 m (41,000 ft) giving a range of 6,500 nautical miles (12,000 km). Upon resale the aircraft can be reconfigured as a standard A319 by removing its extra tanks, thus maximizing its resale value.
The aircraft seats between 19 and 50 passengers but may be outfitted by the customers into any configuration. DC Aviation, UB Group and Reliance Industries are among its users. The A319CJ competes with the Boeing BBJ1, Gulfstream G550, and Bombardier Global Express. Because of its wider fuselage diameter, it offers a roomier interior than its competitors. It is powered by the same engine types as the A320, either the CFM International CFM56-5 or the V2527

Hubs
LGAV - Greece
Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos" (Diethnís Aeroliménas Athinón "Elefthérios Venizélos"; (IATA: ATH, ICAO: LGAV), began operation on March 29, 2001 and is the primary civilian airport that serves the city of Athens and the region of Attica. The airport is the major hub and base of Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air. The airport serves more than 14 million travellers annually and its name honours the Greek statesman Eleftherios Venizelos. As of late 2011, the airport is the thirtieth busiest airport in Europe
EGLC - United Kingdom
London City International airport (ICAO: EGLC, IATA: LCY) is OAV Executive's main hub for corporate jets. It was completed in 1987. The 1,500m runway has steep 5.5* ILS from doth sides which requires (in real) special crew and aircraft certification. The airport serves regional turboprop airliners linking cities of Europe with business center city of London. In the late 90's it started accepting corporate jets with lead company London Executive Aviation (LEA) and NetJets following soon.
The core of our operation and destinations was based on these two companies when OAV Executive was being set up.
Real pilots from both companies provided us inside information with key details on their procedures to specific airports many of which today are in OAV Executive destinations list.
KSAN - USA
San Diego (KSAN) International airport is Olympic Executive's USA hub to the southwest.
From there our executive aircraft fly to airports from Southern California up to the Colorado Rockies. All destinations are available by ORBX and 29Palms sceneries if you do not want to use the default available ones in the simulator.
