Mar 20, 2017 (newstodate): One further block has been lifted off the road for the launch of services by a new Norwegian carrier, FlyViking.
The Norwegian CAA has thus issued the company with a license to operate at small airports requiring short landing and steep approach operations which will open up for flights on routes in the country's northern region's small local airports with 800 m runways.
The coming new carrier's operational capabilities have thus been raised from the earlier approval of flight operations at runways down to 1,200 m.
The launch of services will now come after the imminent completion of a risk analysis of these short runway operations, for approval by the CAA.
On February 14, 2017, FlyViking was awarded its AOC and Commercial License, clearing it for start of commercial passenger and cargo services with aircraft above 10 tonnes and more than 20 passengers.
Two Bombardier Dash-8 aircraft are already with the carrier that will shortly take delivery of a third aircraft.
Thus starting out from a modest base, the carrier, managed and owned by Ola Giaver, plans to lease up to 19 leased aircraft, with the first 10 to be delivered on a leasing contract with the Canadian company Avmax, Canada, over the coming two years.
