Orbx announces Hammerfest Airport (ENHF) in Noway. Known as one of the northernmost airports in the world, it’s small but interesting and challenging.

While it’s not a commercial hub by any stretch of the imagination, it does host several flights a day operated by Widerøe with its Dash-8’s.

You can check out what it looks like below, including several details beyond the borders of the airport itself.

We also get a release with FSimStudios launching London International Airport (CYXU). In case you’re wondering, this isn’t that London, but the London in Ontario, Canada.

It can be purchased on SimMarket for approximately $17 plus applicable VAT. Below you can read what you can expect and find a gallery of screenshots.
