Welcome to

The largest general aviation airfield in the Netherlands and a major training center for flight training.

Season 1: Polder Poineers

‘The margins are thin. The weather is unforgiving. 12 Episodes. 10 brand-new struggles.’

Welcome to Polder Pioneers—a story-driven flight simulation docuseries following the high-stakes rise of Special Air Service Virtual Airline Group.

Building a virtual airline from the ground up sounds like a dream. The reality? The brutal OnAir Airline Managers' economy management, unforgiving weather, unforgiving flight physics, and mounting repair bills that threaten to ground the entire fleet.

Follow Compass as he navigates the chaos of running a fledgling aviation operation. From razor-thin profit margins and risky cargo runs into tight grass strips, to sudden mechanical failures and heated conflicts with management, Polder Pioneers strips away the polish to show what it really takes to survive in the virtual skies.
