Charter
Leveraging a list of all airports around the world, the Charter system allows a pilot to create a flight schedule without the constraints of having to adhere to the company's route map. The only limitation is selecting an aircraft with the range to complete the flight, and that will fit in the airports.
If you find an airport missing from the list, please send in a ticket.
Creating & Bidding a Charter Flight
On the Charter Page, there are (2) ways you can create a flight. You can choose to use the Create a Flight option listed below -- or -- read below that and you can use the Interactive Map.
Using the Create-a-Flight, there are seven (7) steps you must complete in order to create and bid a Charter flight.

If you're using Worldwide Persistence, your departure airport will be filled in automatically. Otherwise you can fill as many or as little of the following boxes and the system will generate a flight that fits within the constraints you have selected.
Note that if you do not tick any boxes for the runway surface selection and the airport size selection, the system will take this input as allowing all of the options.
