On October 17th, 2025, IVAO Lebanon and the Middle East Region (XM) jointly organized a Beirut–Erbil Airbridge, connecting Lebanon (OLBA) and Iraq (ORER) through a symbolic flight celebrating unity and cooperation between neighboring nations. The event was co-hosted with Lebanon Virtual Airlines and Levant Virtual Airline, offering pilots a scenic and meaningful route over the heart of the Middle East.

With around 20 pilots participating, the event achieved strong attendance for a non-HQ operation, filling the skies with traffic and teamwork across both FIRs. The Beirut–Erbil Airbridge once again reflected IVAO Lebanon’s growing presence and its dedication to fostering collaboration among divisions and virtual airlines in the region.
