Vulture Air is a non-commercial virtual airline in Second Life®. VA serves the Second Life® Grid with commuter travel between regional airports in the Blake Sea, Nautilus, Corsica, and Satori continents. Vulture Air also owns a subsidiary company, GridEx, which specializes in shipping role-play services.
History
Born from "Vulture Gear Shipping & Salvage" on the sooty shores of Port Babbage, Vulture Air has grown into one of the largest airlines in Second Life. Formerly operating on a commercial model with tickets priced at L$10 (approx $0.35 in U.S. currency), with a free shuttle service running between Hollywood International and the SS Galaxy cruise ship; the airline now operates a "pay what you want" system where tipping is encouraged but not required. Scenic tours, personal and group charters also continue to be available.
During June 2014 Grid Airlines and Vulture Air announced "Vulture Connection," an extension of the Vulture Air brand, operating on the Sansara and Heterocera Atoll continents by Grid Airlines. Grid Airlines will operate flights for Vulture Connection on its already established routes. Further details and an inaugural flight celebration to be announced soon.
During 2014, Vulture Air became the premium carrier for Tastemaker's Travel offering airfare and support for their Premium Travel Club and other travel services.
