WHAT IS GREAT LAKES EXPRESS?
Great Lakes Express is a Virtual Airline (VA) which handles regional and feeder service throughout the Midwest United States. Right now there are a lot of Virtual Airlines (VA's) on the Internet, with many hubs, many similar routes, and too few pilots. A lot of VA's are created, grow overnight, and soon have 5 or more U.S. hubs. Great Lakes Express offers a smaller, "regionalized" VA with over 16 years of experience.  We have been here a long time!

WHERE DOES GREAT LAKES EXPRESS FLY?
Headquartered at Cleveland's Hopkins International Airport, the majority of Great Lakes Express flights will originate in the smaller regional airports throughout the Midwest, and will offer connecting service to the larger hubs in the region.  GLE currently operates two hubs: our main hub is located at our Cleveland, OH (KCLE) headquarters, offers flights throughout the Midwest, with our newest hub, Rochester, NY (KROC) offering service to destinations in the Eastern U.S and Canada.

WHAT AIRCRAFT DOES GREAT LAKES EXPRESS USE?
Great Lakes Express is set up to service the smaller regional airports of the Midwest, using the shorter-range, lower capacity aircraft. From these airports, passengers will connect to the larger Midwest Hubs that are serviced by larger, transcontinental and international carriers.  As part of our current revamp, we're operating a fleet of 15 Beechcraft 1900D, with jet service to follow very quickly.

WHY SHOULD I JOIN GREAT LAKES EXPRESS
I'd like to think that with Great Lakes Express, you're getting the best of both worlds. Through Great Lakes Express you have a quality airline that offers a fun, yet realistic VA experience. We don't try to be all things to all people, just the best at what we do.

AUTOMATED FLIGHT TRACKING
For those of you using Microsoft Flight Simulator 9 or Flight Simulator X, we've teamed with VAFinancials to offer automated flight bids, tracking, and reporting.  For those of you wishing to use a different flight simulator, we'll very shortly have a flight report page created, allowing you to manually report your flight times.
