Oct 12, 2015 (newstodate): Plans for a "shadow national airline" in Estonia are shaping up.
As earlier reported, a new Estonian airline system has been formed under the name Nordic Aviation Group.
The new company, set up by the Estonian state, has been mandated to bridge any uncertainty over the future of Estonian air services in case the forthcoming EU verdict requires Estonian Air to repay state aid deemed unlawful, which would spell the end of the carrier.
The state has named Jaan Tamm, formerly with Infortar, as CEO, Erik Sakkov, until now Tallinn Airport board member and marketing manager, has been named CCO, and Ahto Parlo, formerly with Infortar, will serve as CFO.
Chairman of the Board will be Peeter Tamm, from Infortar, and the Board will also include Ain Hanschmidt, Infortar's CEO.
Infortar is the owner of Estonia's Tallink that in late 2014 announced its interest in acquiring all shares in Estonian Air, including the 10 percent stake still held by the airline's former major shareholder SAS.
