Turkish Airlines and Iberia are now in SimRoster

Two more airlines are now live in SimRoster: Turkish Airlines and Iberia. Both were the top requests from our Instagram Q&A, so we wanted to get them right. No placeholder routes, no made-up flight numbers. We pull real scheduled flight data so your roster reflects how these airlines actually operate — the same routes, the same flight numbers, the same aircraft.

Flying for Turkish Airlines

Istanbul Airport (IST) is one of the most connected hubs in the world, and as a Turkish Airlines pilot that is exactly where your career begins. The network THY operates out of Istanbul is enormous, and that is what makes flying for them in SimRoster so exciting.

On a short week you might find yourself hopping between Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir on tight domestic turns. The next week your roster could take you to Lagos, Nairobi, Tokyo, or New York. Turkish Airlines flies to more countries than any other airline in the world, and that variety shows up in your schedule.

• Short-haul: domestic Turkish routes, Greece, Bulgaria, Lebanon, UAE — quick turnarounds that feel like real line flying.
• Medium-haul: European capitals, Central Asia, East Africa — your bread-and-butter flying in the 737 and A321 family.
• Long-haul: transatlantic to the US, South America, and deep into Southeast Asia on the 777-300ER, A350-900, and 787-9.

The fleet is accurate: 737-800, 737-900ER, 737 MAX 8, A320, A321, A321neo, A330-200, A330-300, A350-900, 777-300ER, and 787-9 — all with real TC- registrations, the Turkish civil aviation prefix.

If you want a roster that never gets repetitive, Turkish Airlines is the pick. You will rarely fly the same route twice in a month.

Flying for Iberia

Iberia is Spain's flag carrier and its home is Madrid-Barajas (MAD), one of Europe's great airports. The airline has a character of its own: a mix of busy short-haul European flying and some of the most scenic long-haul routes in aviation, across the Atlantic to Latin America.

As an Iberia pilot your week might open with a quick Madrid–Barcelona or Madrid–London turn, then a red-eye to Buenos Aires or Bogotá on the A350. The range of flying is genuinely different from a purely domestic or purely long-haul airline, and that keeps your logbook interesting.

• Short-haul: dense Spanish domestic network plus European capitals — the A320 family doing what it does best.
• Medium-haul: Casablanca, Tel Aviv, Cairo, Istanbul — routes that bridge Europe and the rest of the world.
• Long-haul: South America is where Iberia shines. Mexico City, Lima, Santiago, São Paulo, Bogotá — these are the transatlantic runs that real Iberia crews talk about.

The fleet covers every range: A319, A320, A320neo, A321, A330, A330-200, and A350-900 — all with proper EC- registrations, the Spanish prefix.

If flying Latin American routes from Europe appeals to you, there is no better airline in SimRoster for that.

Not sure which to pick? You can always switch.

We reduced the minimum service period from 30 days to 14 days. That means if you sign on with Turkish Airlines and after two weeks you want to try Iberia — or any of our other airlines — you can. All your logged hours stay on your record. Your logbook is yours, no matter how many times you change uniforms.

SimRoster now has 12 airlines and more are on the way. Every one of them uses the same real route data. The only question is which network you want to explore next.

Performance improvements in v1.3

v1.3 also ships a round of under-the-hood fixes. Schedule generation is faster, especially for airlines with large route networks like Turkish. A few edge cases in the PIREP form that could cause slow saves have been cleaned up. The onboarding airline grid now loads logos faster on slower connections.

Both airlines are live right now. If you are already in SimRoster, you can switch from the Settings page after your 14-day minimum service. New users will see Turkish and Iberia on the airline selection screen during onboarding.
