In information technology and data management, overflyt is used to refer to data migration between systems, databases, or cloud environments. The concept covers planning, mapping of data schemas, extraction, transformation, loading, validation, and cutover. In project management, successful overflyt requires stakeholder alignment and testing to minimize service disruption.

In aviation and international law, the standard English term is overflight. Some translations of official documents may render overflight as overflyt in Norwegian or Danish, but this is not a term used in English-language aviation contexts. Etymology: from over- plus flyt, related to movement or transfer in Germanic languages; cognates include Swedish överflytt, Danish overflyt, Norwegian overflytting.
