Our Hubs and Focus Airports
General Information
About us
What makes us special?
The biggest difference between FlyHoliday and many other virtual airlines lies in one key point:
• Only active pilots fly with us.
While other virtual airlines often boast hundreds of registered members – many of whom are inactive – we focus on quality over quantity.
Thanks to our mandatory quarterly flight requirement, we ensure that only genuinely active members are part of our airline. Every pilot must complete at least 5 flights per quarter, with the third quarter serving as our official summer break.
⚪️ Flexibility Over Restrictions
We deliberately avoid complex systems like financial or typerating restrictions.
At FlyHoliday, flying should be fun – whether you're planning a big tour or just looking to enjoy a relaxed flight after work.
⚪️ Our pilots enjoy:
• complete freedom in route planning
• free aircraft selection
• the ability to fly offline, on IVAO or VATSIM
⚪️ A Strong Community
Our active Discord community is the heart of FlyHoliday.
It’s primarily German-speaking, but open to international pilots as well – perfect for casual chats, group flights, or just relaxing in our voice channels.
⚪️ The NordFly Group – More Variety, More Possibilities
FlyHoliday is part of the NordFly Group Airlines, one of the largest fictional airline groups in Germany.
The group includes:
• NordFly – our premium airline for scheduled and long-haul flights
• NordFly Cargo – our flexible cargo division
• FlyHoliday Airlines – our colorful leisure carrier
As a pilot, you can fly for all three airlines within the group – with no additional permissions* or limitations*.
* only 10 accepted flights required
⚪️ The Operations Center – Our Digital Cockpit
Our unique Operations Center, based on phpVMS, has been heavily customized and developed into a fully independent system tailored to our group’s needs.
With a focus on user-friendliness, clarity, and functionality, our system offers:
• full SimBrief integration
• flight creation in just minutes
• a clear, intuitive interface
⚪️ What Awaits You at FlyHoliday:
• 10 free flights per month

Thanks to FSLTL, MTL, and XCSL, you’ll always be visible in FlyHoliday colors to other pilots on the network.

Joining FlyHoliday – One of the Best Decisions I've Made Becoming a part of FlyHoliday – part of the larger Nordfly Group – was probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my virtual aviation journey. I’ve been passionate about flight simulation since the FSX days, and I was finally ready to take the leap into online flying. What I was looking for was a virtual airline where I could feel comfortable and supported — and FlyHoliday has truly delivered. The community is incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the transition to online flying much easier. The Operations Center is modern and easy to navigate, and the rules are simple yet flexible — just the way I like it. I have the freedom to choose my aircraft, routes, and even my home hub, which makes the experience both personal and enjoyable. What really helped me get started were the regular group events and the sense of community. You're never just a number here — you're part of a team. The holiday fleet is diverse, and the liveries are not only professional but also look fantastic in the sim. All in all, FlyHoliday offers a complete and well-rounded package for anyone interested in relaxed, scenic, and fun virtual flying with a vacation vibe. But don’t just take my word for it — try it yourself and see what makes FlyHoliday so special.

Perhaps I am a bit biased because I am a staff member. But from a pilots point of view, FlyHoliday is one of the best and, in my honest opinion, true to life virtual representations of a leisure airline. Before I joined NordFly Group (of which FlyHoliday is a part of), the professionalism of both, the design of the websites and liveries as well as the general flight operations, instantly caught my eye. If you join FlyHoliday (or NordFly Group in general) you do not only get access to complex, detailed flight operations, but also to a great community. The most postive aspect is that you are not just a simple pilot or a number, you are an active part of said community. NordFly Group gives you a chance to shape the community and thus the airlines itself through your ideas and commitment.

An airline that stands out for its excellent support. A great team that enjoys what they do. A wide range of interesting destinations that can be reached with many different aircraft models. Additionally, I personally like the livery quite a bit, and it's definitely instantly recognizable when you see a Holiday at an airport.
