North Airways, ICAO code NHA, is a domestic and international virtual airline servicing North America. It currently operates flights from its three hubs at Detroit (KDTW), Las Vegas (KLAS), and Dallas (KDFW). The airline is a major operator of reginal and mid-body aircrafts like the [[Bombardier CRJ 900|CRJ-900]] and the Boeing 737-900.

== History == | |||
North Airways was founded on March 17, 2008 by John Well. The airline leased its first aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, from Manchester International Airways. From there, the North Airways fleet has grown to 33 aircrafts. Two hubs, Detroit and Dallas, were the center of the hub and spoke operations of North Airways. As the airline expanded, a third hub at Las Vegas was established to accomodate the growing fleet and lack of flights in the Western USA.

Today, flights depart and land from the three hubs as well as two three focus cities: Miami (KMIA), Honolulu (PHNL), and St. Maarten (TNCM). International flights outside of North America are conducted with North Airways aircraft, but using IGA codeshares. | |||
The airline is a 1x airline, recommending all flights to be conducted at 1x time acceleration, although most flights are permitted to as high as 4x. | |||
== Livery == | |||
North Airways currently has three different liveries for its aircrafts. The "Polaris Livery," shown above, is the original and standard livery of all North Airways aircrafts. Aircrafts servicing the Western USA and the Pacific and Southeast Asia routes have the "Pacific Livery," which has a Hawaiian Flower instead of the normal design on the vertical stabilizer. Aircrafts that consistently fly codeshares for North Airways' partner airlines and IGA airlines have the "IGA Standard" Livery.
