Fancy a year long party?
We started Compass back in 2001, and although there were some private testing behind the scenes for a number of months we went public with the airline on 10 September 2001, so we celebrate that day as our official Birthday.
Most will be aware that 10 years is a very long time for a virtual airline. Most do not last more than a few years and a very large number fold within a few months of opening. As a result we are pretty proud that we've been going strong for the past 9 years and that we'll keep on going strong for a good many years yet.
We decided that we couldn't let such a significant milestone go unmarked. As a result we've planned a year long celebration of our first decade. The management team have spent long hours plannng something special that we hope all Compass pilots will enjoy, and that all of our many firends in the VATSIM community will join with us as we host a monthly series of events from 11 Sep 2010 through to 10 Sep 2011 to celebrate our airlines 10th year. The final event, on our 10th birthday will mark the start of our second decade and the years events promise to be a great series of flights. The third flight in the series will be on 20 Nov 10 and will be from Auckland to Vancouver, a long trans-Pacific flight.. This flight is part of our year long series of long haul epics to mark our tenth year of operations.
