Our Target Group?
Our airline is aimed at pilots with prior experience who can safely fly an aircraft from our fleet from A to B and master the applicable IFR/VFR procedures.

New to Flight Simulation?
If you are new to flight simulation, NordFly is not the right place for you, as we do not offer a classic flight school.

Free and User-Friendly
