Atlantic Northeast is a Virtual Airline, which flys it's flights in Microsoft
Flight Simulator 2002, 2004, and FSX. We burst onto the VA scene in 2003 as
a leisure airline, operating a couple of Boeing 757 aircraft on routes to holiday
destinations in Spain and North Africa. Since then, we haven't looked back,
and have grown to become one of the largest virtual airlines on the web.
The airline was founded, and is still run, by Andrew Butcher. When the organisation
was first established, Andrew was a high school student. Since then, he has
completed a university degree in Business and Information Systems, and has spent
two years working at a consultancy firm in London. Currently taking a career
break, he will begin a teacher training course in September as he prepares for
the next stage in his career. All the while, he has kept and eye on the running
of the airline.
Andrew is now supported by a large team of individuals. Each of our five hubs
is headed up by a Hub Manager. Allen De Lint, Hub Manager for Stansted is a
close friend of Mr Butcher and played a key role in setting up the airline.
He joined the company formally in early 2005 when Atlantic Northeast was merged
with his own airline, Siskin Aviation; a major Boeing 737 operator also based
at Stansted.
The start of 2009 is a very exciting time at Atlantic Northeast. A complete
website redesign has seen the airline maintain it's position as one of the industry
leaders, with significant time and money being invested into the new system
which is likely to take us well into the next decade. The airline never stops
looking for new ways to break new markets, and is currently helping to support
a new UK regional venture.
