NordFly Group Airlines | Discord Server
Our Discord server is the beating heart of our community. This is where all NordFly Group Airlines pilots come together to exchange ideas, share screenshots, take part in the screenshot contest, plan flights together, take part in events or simply chat in the evenings.
Thanks to our strong community, you can usually get support and help with questions or problems within a few minutes.
Event group flights
Take part in group flights together with our NordFly Group Airlines community, receive an award for doing so and socialise with other pilots.
Our event group flights take place online on the VATSIM network, so that we not only fly together, but also see each other.
No hub binding | No financial system
At FlyHoliday we do not have a hub connection.
This means that if you fly to Faro today, you don’t necessarily have to take off from Faro again. We leave that up to you!
FlyHoliday also does not use a digital financial system because we are convinced that this does not generate any added value.
High quality liveries
FlyHoliday places great emphasis on premium liveries, which are created by our experienced designer and developer, Rick van Dijck.
Through professional collaboration and a constant commitment to quality, we have already invested thousands of euros in our liveries to meet the highest standards on platforms such as XPlane, MSFS, as well as IVAO MTL, XCSL, and VATSIM FSLTL.
Screenshot contest
Once a month, the picture with the most likes is chosen as the screenshot of the month.
The pilot receives an award for this and the best 10 images are presented here on our website.
Modern OperationCenter
The OperationsCenter is the heart of our virtual airline. Here, you can organize your flights, find our SOPs and statistics, book tours, and download software and liveries.
Equipped with all the necessary tools, such as SimBrief integration for route planning, the OperationsCenter provides you with a seamless and exciting flight experience within our community.

Our history in a timeline
FOUNDATION FLYHOLIDAY-AIRLINES
On August 31, the virtual airline FlyHoliday-Airlines was founded in Paderborn, Germany. The appearance concept of the airline was based on the branding of sonnenklar.tv. The airline operates charter and vacation flights within Europe, flying mainly to destinations in the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands and the Middle East.
FIRST RE-BRANDING
The first re-branding of the airline took place at the beginning of November, after several notices to the CEO at the time that the sonnenklar.tv brand was protected.
WITHDRAWAL OF THE FOUNDER – ADMISSION TO NORDFLY
At the end of November, the founder and CEO abruptly withdrew and was henceforth unavailable. A few weeks later, FlyHoliday became part of the NordFly family and has since operated as an independent virtual vacation sister airline.
COOPERATION ATTEMPT – CANCELLATION
Immediately an attempt was made to bring the virtual airline FlyHoliday into official cooperation with sonnenklar.tv and Euvia Travel GmbH and to return to the original branding. After initially positive discussions with the responsible parties, a cancellation was surprisingly made at the beginning of December 2022, much to everyone’s frustration.
SECOND RE-BRANDING
In mid-December 2022, the virtual airline FlyHoliday was re-branded after sonnenklar.tv prohibited the use of the logos.
DESIGN FHTOURS
In addition to the redesign of a logo, the design of the fictitious tour operator “FHTours” took place for which FlyHoliday will operate in the future and whose logo adorns the paintwork of FlyHoliday.
HUB CHANGE
Since mid-2024, FlyHoliday has moved its hub from Luxembourg (ELLX) to Amsterdam (EHAM). The background to this is that FlyHoliday is realigning itself locally in order to have an attractive location for long-haul destinations. FlyHoliday Airlines is also moving into the country of its design developer, Rick van Dijck of rAirDesigns.
