FlyHoliday, founded in August 2022 in Paderborn and rebranded under new ownership in November 2022, has since operated as the dedicated virtual holiday airline of the NordFly Group Airlines.

As a certified IVAO and VATSIM airline, it has been present in the virtual skies ever since.

FlyHoliday serves as the virtual holiday airline within the NordFly Group Airlines, focusing on vacation destinations across the Mediterranean, Africa, America, and Asia.

Our concept is based on a simple motto:

“Having fun together.”

That’s why FlyHoliday deliberately avoids a finance-based system, hub restrictions, route limitations, or rank-controlled fleet access.

At FlyHoliday, we believe that everyone should fly the aircraft they are most comfortable with.

That’s why we do not restrict fleet access based on type ratings. This gives you the freedom to choose and fly your preferred aircraft right after registration.

At FlyHoliday, there are no hub restrictions.

You decide where your next flight begins.

If you land in Faro today, you’re not required to depart from there again – you have complete freedom in your flight planning.

FlyHoliday has deliberately chosen to operate without a digital financial system.

We believe that such a system offers no real added value for our pilots — on the contrary, it creates unnecessary financial pressure.

With us, you fly without any financial constraints – relaxed, free, and with full enjoyment of the simulation.

10 times a month, the choice is yours.
You choose the departure and destination of your flight.

Want to fly online with a NordFly pilot? No problem!
Joint flights on the network are possible without any limitations.

FlyHoliday is a certified partner airline of IVAO and VATSIM.

Whether offline or on the IVAO and VATSIM networks – at FlyHoliday, the choice is yours!

A key unique feature of our virtual airline is that only actively flying pilots are part of our community.

We ensure this through our quarterly flight requirement, which obligates every pilot to complete at least five flights per quarter.

No worries: Once a year, you have the option to activate a quarterly exemption – for example, during vacations or other personal commitments.
Additionally, the third quarter of each year serves as our official summer break.

To ensure the activity of our pilots, we have introduced a quarterly flight requirement, which obliges our pilots to complete at least 5 flights per quarter.

The third quarter of each year is our official summer break, during which this requirement is suspended.

Our Discord server is the beating heart of our community.

This is where all the pilots of NordFly Group Airlines come together to chat, share screenshots, participate in the screenshot contest, plan group flights, join events, or simply hang out in the evenings.

Thanks to our strong community, you can usually receive support and help within minutes if you have any questions or issues.

FlyHoliday places great value on high-quality liveries and relies on professional partners in the field of aircraft painting.

We spare neither cost nor effort and have already invested thousands of euros in our liveries – whether for X-Plane, MSFS, or IVAO MTL | XCSL & VATSIM FSLTL.

The OperationCenter is the heart of our virtual airline. Here, you organize your flights, access our SOPs and statistics, book tours, and download software and liveries.

Equipped with all the necessary tools – including SimBrief integration for route planning – the OperationCenter offers you a seamless and exciting flight experience within our community.

FlyHoliday has deliberately chosen an open-source software solution. Our system is based on phpVMS 7 and integrates modules from software developer Faith Koz, along with numerous in-house developments.

By hosting on our own server, we achieve near-complete independence from third parties, ensure continuous operation, and can fully adapt the software to meet our specific needs.

NordFly Group Airlines is a virtually operated aviation group, consisting of NordFly, NordFly Cargo, and FlyHoliday Airlines.

Each airline follows its own concept: NordFly as a premium carrier, NordFly Cargo as a cargo carrier, and FlyHoliday as a holiday airline.
