Independent. Regional. Built from the city it calls home.
Confluence Air is a virtual airline headquartered at Spirit of St. Louis Airport (KSUS) in Chesterfield, Missouri. We operate as a United Express–style feeder, connecting regional markets to United hubs through realistic route planning. We are not owned by United Airlines. We operate independently, the way real regional partners like SkyWest, GoJet, Republic, and CommutAir do. A second hub at Pittsburgh flies the Embraer E175 and E195. From Denver, our western gateway and 777 base, the Boeing 777-300ER flies scheduled long-haul. Executive charter flies through JetCard from bases across the United States, Europe, Mexico and the Middle East. One operating standard runs through all of it.
We believe a virtual airline should feel real. That means deliberate procedures, consistent standards, clear accountability, and a community that takes pride in the operation. It also means staying welcoming. Realism and accessibility are not in conflict — we hold both.
St. Louis sits at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Our name marks that meeting point, and our logo turns the city flag into an airline roundel: two rivers joining at a gold confluence, framed in blue. We carry St. Louis with us on every tail.
Connect communities. Fly professionally. Build something authentic. We are not trying to be the largest virtual airline. We are trying to be one of the most realistic and enjoyable regional VAs you can fly for.
Confluence Air is built on a stack of products and communities that make realistic virtual airline operations possible. We acknowledge and appreciate each of them.
