May 12, 2015 (newstodate): The Danish carrier Primera Air is now to add the fifth Boeing 737-800 aircraft to the fleet of its Latvian subsidiary, Primera Air Nordic.
When this aircraft has been transferred onto Latvian registration, Primera Air will have only one Boeing 737-800 left on Danish roster that also comprises two Boeing 737-700 aircraft from the company.
Seeking new European charter business by benefiting from Latvia's competitive cost base, Primera Air Nordic launched services by October 10, 2014, after taking over its first aircraft only few days earlier.
Not surprisingly, the European Cockpit Association has accused Primera Air of "social dumping" by transferring capacity to a base outside Scandinavia to exploit lower operational costs.
