This page is the original concept from May
1998.
Has changed in many ways since then.
The
ownership of Duckling Air is danish and its head quarter is based in Vaerloese, Denmark .
The company's present income is primarily based on taxi and charter flights, but the
general expansion in airline traffic is also noticable in Denmark. Even more so after FS98
was put on the market. The demand for a competitive, danish airline company, being able to
serve and operate domestic as well as international routes, has increased drastically. The Duckling Air fleet currently consists of short and long distance aircraft. Our
company obtains its planes from well-established aircraft manufacturors, through the
Duckling Air Factory and maintenance Workshop ( DAFW ), mainly situated in Vaerloese, but
having regional branches in Chicago, Illinois and Springfield, Missouri (USA).

Primarily FS98, because it will simplify orders/delivery of aircraft and also present the possibility of using the more advanced addons within the area of navigational equipment and cockpit layouts.
R8ight/ownership to names, designs, hubs, ideas, scenery and airport enhanchments, planes asf. will, after the conversion and expansion of the present company still belong to and be owned by the present owner of Duckling Air. After conversion the company name will still be " Duckling Air " and the present logos, designs asf. are to be used by the new company. The company's net capital, reserves, outstanding account, and all assets in general will also and still, after the conversion be the property of the original owner. It is still not decided whether the company/airline will be converted in to a Ltd/Inc. after the conversion and expansion.
Charter and air services on routes will mostly be carried out by the company fleet, but it is likely that planes from Greenlandair for Flightsim will execute some of the flying, and perhaps even enter into some kind of collaboration on a more regular basis.

| It is not the intention that either of the two initiators, Jens Borgstroem and Esben Emborg, are to run the company, nor be the ones that do the actual build up that is needed. The principles and ideas, laid down by the initiators are, on the other hand, to be opheld, and they reserve their right to put forward suggestions and see that the new company is in fact based upon and also run according to the ideals behind it all and to the lines given for the project. |  |
Another example: Having a route on a regular basis to look after as a pilot, it's no good if it has to be flown on a tight schedule, say every Tuesday and Friday at certain hours, meaning that the member in question has to postpone his/her everyday life to uphold the obligation. The idea is that the pilots report flights once a week or once every fortnight. The dates and hours for the flight must be adjusted by the pilot so that the logbook readout is correct. Even if the flight was actually conducted on a Sunday afternoon but scheduled for a Thursday evening, it is easily manipulated in the setup of FS98. In general, the members participate when and if they have the time. ..... In fact there are known examples of members of Virtual Airlines, who were happy to participate, but on the other hand had to give it up because of the restrictions and obligations to uphold certain tasks at certain hours. ..... Pilots, who only wish to do a flight sometimes, are also very welcome. As an idea, they can do charter flights with passengers or cargo routes, to be agreed upon in a collaboration between the individual pilot and the flight-planner in question. Communication can be done via @mail, which is practical due to a great many persons, having shown interest in the project, in fact live 'abroad' ( from a strictly danish point of view :o)
One of the basic ideas re. flight planning is, that these plans to some degree have start up situations and also weather conditions implemented, and, hopefully also some adventures included . In this way some of the elements of unpredictable events can be a part of the every day life in Duckling Air.
All categories are welcome - some to do the build up of the company, some to maintain the every day running of the company, pilots, flight/route-planners, clerks, WEB designers - in fact, 'you name it'. 8
To get a clear overview, a survey on interest among simmers is necessary, so please, and this is important, do sign up ! And please also do so, even if you're only interest is e.g. flying a charter route8 from time to time, doing the planning on one or two general routes ( for stationary purpose ), participate in a part of the build up - in fact - when you feel like it !
To obtain the best, correct and most expedient structure for the company, it's essential that a couple of interested persons can and will take it upon themselves to coordinate the start up phase. It would be very nice if one or more of these persons in fact had some experience from other Virtual Airlines and/or from running a real life Airline. Jens Borgstrøm from Duckling Air and Esben Emborg from Flight Simulator Denmark promise to give all support possible and needed, but stress, that they are not experienced when it comes to starting up and running a Virtual Airline.
