NewHangar is now Aviatr

NewHangar has officially rebranded to Aviatr. What started in 2022 as a flight school directory has grown into a full pilot platform — digital logbook, live flight tracking, EASA exam prep, training games, an airport directory, and a community of aviators across Europe. The new name and tagline, "Fly Further.", reflect that journey.

What's New

  • Complete redesign — every page rebuilt with a fresh, polished look and a reorganized dashboard
  • Airport Directory — 3,600+ European airports with runways, frequencies, live weather, and Strava-style exploration tracking
  • Community — public pilot profiles, a social feed, clubs, and reviews for flight schools and medical examiners
  • 13 languages — now also in Czech, Danish, Greek, Norwegian, Romanian, and Swedish

Same Team, Same Mission

Behind the new name is the same team with the same mission: making aviation accessible to everyone. All your data, settings, and progress carry over, and your existing links keep working.

Fly Further.
