FSCharter is an online persistent, connected world that puts you in charge of your own virtual career in aviation - from the pilot’s seat to the boardroom. Once you’ve made an account on [**FSCharter.net**](http://fscharter.net/), you can purchase your first aircraft or incorporate your first company and take off on your way to building your empire. Whether you prefer to manage operations from the comfort of your own desk or get behind the yoke and ferry passengers and cargo around the globe, FSCharter has you covered.

Once you’ve made enough money to expand your operations, maybe you’ll open a local courier company and hire a player to work alongside you to keep rural areas connected. Or maybe you’ll slowly start to build up a fleet of luxury business jets and ferry executives to meetings on different continents, demanding premium rates in exchange for delivering on-time services every time. Whatever path you choose to take, build up your reputation as a business or as a freelance pilot and climb the ranks, unlocking more prestigious contracts as you go.

As a company executive, you might prefer to let other pilots around the world fly your defined routes and instead focus your efforts on expanding your business, snapping up that bargain piece of land at the next up-and-coming airport so that you can expand your FBO services to other players.

FSCharter is shaped both by the activities of all of its members and real-world events. If an airport becomes over-saturated, customers will have more choice of service so will be willing to pay less for flights, driving up competition. Flights to popular destinations will also be in higher demand during certain months, so keeping an eye on the market and global trends will benefit the business savvy players.
