The NordFly fleet

We want to offer a fleet that is as balanced and varied as possible. We make sure each aircraft type is available for as many of the supported simulators as possible. Because technical, organisational and financial factors also play a part, we unfortunately cannot add every aircraft type.

When putting our fleet together, we also take the model libraries FSLTL, IVAO MTL and X-CSL into account. After all, other pilots in virtual air traffic should see our aircraft in the right livery.

Our submission options are limited, though: as a virtual airline we can submit a maximum of 15 aircraft types to FSLTL and a maximum of 10 aircraft types each to IVAO MTL and X-CSL. These limits therefore also shape our fleet planning.

Our fleet represents many hours of work and considerable costs. Creating high-quality, true-to-detail liveries alone takes a lot of effort. The aircraft then have to be integrated into our systems, added to the schedules and made available in the NordFly Group Installer™.

That is why many steps are needed before you can install and fly a new aircraft with us.

Yes, we regularly look at new aircraft types and liveries for our fleet. Besides the technical and organisational limits, cost also plays an important role.

One example: adding an aircraft type such as the Airbus A320 costs us around €110. This covers the liveries for X-Plane 11 and 12, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 as well as FSLTL, IVAO MTL and X-CSL. Depending on the model, a further €5 per registration is added if we cannot adapt it ourselves.

On top of that, we invest many hours of work to fully integrate the new aircraft into our flight operations and make it ready for you.
