CEO – NordFly Group Airlines

Bastjan Alan James Schmidt

I work full-time as a paramedic and have been back in flight simulation since early 2020 after a long break, primarily flying on IVAO and VATSIM.

In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the idea to found NordFly-VAG was born together with a former team colleague.

As the project grew over the years and more airlines joined, I took on the role of virtual CEO of NordFly Group Airlines.


CEO –Chief Executive Officer FlyHoliday Airlines

Malte Gotaut

My main job is as a system administrator. I have been interested in flying since my earliest childhood and have been involved in the hobby of flight simulation for a good 25 years now.

I have been an active pilot with the NordFly Group since the end of 2023 and CEO of FlyHoliday Airlines since June 2024.

In addition to my life as a virtual pilot, I am interested in strength training (fitness) and, when the weather is good, I go into the botany on my gravel bike. In addition, I worked part-time as an instructor in an Airbus A320 simulator (static, non-moving) until August 2024 and I am therefore very familiar with this aircraft.

Co-CEO –Chief Executive Officer FlyHoliday Airlines

Michael Otto

Moin Moin! I’m Michael,

I’ve been fascinated by aviation since early childhood.
It all started with MSFS 2002, which I flew for years, followed later by DCS — and now I primarily fly in MSFS 2020.

I joined NordFly / FlyHoliday in mid-May 2024 as an active pilot and immediately felt at home here.
Since December 2024, I’ve been serving as Co-CEO of FlyHoliday Airlines, following a previous role in the Flight Operations Department (FOD).

Outside of flying, I enjoy photography, going to concerts, and cycling.
