Title: Happy Birthday to us!
Post by: Chris Liu on May 04, 2014 11:25
That's right, it's not just Star Wars day ("May the 4th be with you" etc) but today is also Intercity's first birthday, we officially started external recruitment this date last year  ;D

But the Intercity story goes back further than 12 months. Me, Chris, Paul and Tom have all known each other for at least a decade or so now and worked together on numerous other flight sim projects (e.g. in a previous life I was a VATSIM ATC examiner). Basically, you're in experienced hands  ::)

We partially built a website, painted a fleet and did some scheduling for a different airline back in 2009 but we never got  to the point of launch, mainly because the thing was just too damn big! However we did recycle a lot of the work into Intercity, here's a slideshow from February 2013 when we we're still finalising a name, logo and livery, which I hope you'll find interesting:

Once again, we'd like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone that had the faith and trust to sign up and fly with us during our first year  :) We have achieved much in our first 12 month and we've got some exciting plans for the next 12.

Happy Birthday!

Thanks to the Chrisses and everyone who has made Intercity possible - long may we continue and go from strength to strength.

Can't believe a year has gone so quickly. Having a great time here at ICX.  Looking forward to the next 12 months. Best wishes all.
