Welcome to NordFly!
Dear visitors,
I would like to warmly welcome you to the official website of our virtual airline, NordFly. I am delighted that you have found your way to us.
On the following pages, we want to give you far more than just a first impression: discover our concept, our history, our virtual flight operations and the people whose enthusiasm makes NordFly what it is today. For us, NordFly is far more than a shared hobby – it is a place where a passion for virtual aviation, shared experiences and an exceptional community come together.
And who knows? Perhaps we will soon be welcoming you as part of our unique community!
One more note: While I am welcoming you personally and formally here, the following pages deliberately take a more relaxed, familiar tone.
I hope you enjoy exploring our website and that NordFly will inspire you as much as it inspires us.
Virtual airline · since 2020
Make flight simulation more than just flying from A to B.
NordFly combines the freedom of modern flight simulation with the experience of a genuine airline community. Since 2020, we have continuously developed our virtual airline with realistic procedures, modern systems and, above all, the shared enjoyment of flying. We add real value to your simulator flights and turn individual journeys into a connected airline experience.
We deliberately avoid unnecessary restrictions and complicated economic simulations.
Over the years, this proven concept has helped make NordFly one of the best-known and largest fictional virtual airlines in the German-speaking region.
Whether you regularly fly on VATSIM or IVAO, fly with SayIntentionsAI or prefer flying offline: at NordFly, you decide what your virtual airline experience looks like.
Virtual airline from Germany
More airline. Fewer restrictions.
NordFly is a fictional virtual airline for flight simulation and the premium carrier of NordFly Group Airlines. Instead of a complicated economic simulation, we focus on an authentic airline experience with modern systems, high-quality liveries and an active community.
You choose where to depart, which aircraft to fly and whether to book a route from our extensive schedule or plan your own flight. SimBrief integration, Stratos ACARS, our own Livery Installer and easy-to-understand SOPs support you from your very first flight.
Custom free flights
Want to fly independently of the schedule? Choose your departure and destination freely and plan your own route.
Free choice of aircraft
From the Airbus A319 to the A380, from the Boeing 737 to the 787 – no restrictions by rank or type rating.
Active community
A lively community of pilots who fly together, share experiences and support one another.
High-quality liveries
Highly detailed NordFly liveries for MSFS and X-Plane – consistently designed, with real attention to detail.
Online or offline
Fly on VATSIM or IVAO, with SayIntentionsAI, or simply offline – whichever suits your flight simulation style.
No hub restrictions
Start your next flight at any airport, regardless of where your previous flight ended.
No economic system
No virtual money, nothing to buy – no hubs, type ratings, fleets or routes. Flying is what matters here.
Locations
Four hubs. Worldwide destinations. Unlimited possibilities.
Hamburg Airport “Helmut Schmidt” has been NordFly’s home and main base since 2020. As one of Germany’s longest-established commercial airports, it is a starting point for routes across Europe and beyond, with no restrictions on where pilots may begin.
Berlin Brandenburg Airport “Willy Brandt” has been our capital hub since 2023. Its flight programme brings together domestic routes, European cities and popular holiday destinations, offering plenty of variety for NordFly pilots flying across the continent.
Munich Airport “Franz Josef Strauß” has represented NordFly in southern Germany since 2024. From here, our schedule reaches destinations across Europe and beyond, with the nearby Alps and southern European holiday regions adding to the appeal.
Stockholm Arlanda, Sweden’s largest airport, has been our Scandinavian hub since 2023. Its routes focus on northern Europe, major European cities and further international destinations, reflecting both the Nordic region and our growing international community.
We’re especially proud of this: NordFly is the only virtual airline in Germany to receive official support from Hamburg Airport – recognition that means a great deal to us.
NordFly Group Airlines
One group. One account. More possibilities.
NordFly is part of NordFly Group Airlines. Your NordFly account is not limited to a single virtual airline. After completing 10 successful flights, the other airlines within the group become available to you as well – using the same account and within the same community.
Depending on your route, aircraft or type of operation, you can then switch between NordFly, NordFly Cargo, FlyHoliday and EuroFly without maintaining a separate profile for each airline.
Fleet
From city hoppers to ultra-long-haul aircraft.
NordFly operates a balanced, modern virtual fleet featuring high-quality liveries and support for popular add-on aircraft in X-Plane and MSFS. Combined with detailed MTL, X-CSL and FSLTL packages, our aircraft also make a strong impression on online networks.
