Your airline's history timeline

Watch the video: Your collections

With History timeline switched on, Airline → History tells your airline's story, year by year, built by itself from the accepted flights.

What the timeline shows

1. Founded: the day the airline was set up on Vaeroly.
2. The first flight, then every 100th flight up to 1,000 and every 1,000th after that, with the route flown.
3. The first flight from each hub and the first flight on each aircraft type.
4. The first landing in each country.
5. Event days when 5 or more flights counted for the event.

Good to know:

• Only accepted flights count. A milestone appears within about 10 minutes after the flight that reaches it is accepted.
• A pilot is named only when their profile is public and they don't hide from leaderboards or live maps. See your public profile.
• When the airline is listed in the public directory, anyone can open the page. Otherwise only the airline's pilots and staff see it.

For staff

1. Switch it on under Staff → Airline settings → Optional features → Airline running → History timeline.
2. Open Airline → History. Staff who can post news see Add a line: give a date and a title (and more text if you like) for something the flights can't tell, like a new livery or a partnership. Write lines in your own words: never paste a real airline's history from its website or Wikipedia.
3. Hide takes a milestone off the timeline for everyone else. Hidden milestones stay on your view, faded, with Show to bring them back. Remove deletes a line you added.

Every change is in the activity log.
