Nov 11, 2020 (newstodate): The new project to launch an airline providing domestic flights in the Norwegian market has taken a further step towards start of services.
The yet-unnamed carrier has applied for an own AOC with the Norwegian CAA, and when granted plans are to offer direct low-cost flights also to Europe with an initial fleet of five Boeing 737-800 or Airbus A320 aircraft by H1, 2021, supported by a staff growing to 400 employees by 2022.
The new airline project that made its first public appearance early in October 2020 is spearheaded by Erik G. Braathen leading a team of seasoned professionals in Norway's aviation industry including Brede Huser, Thomas Ramdahl, Asgeir Nyseth, Alf Sagen, Bjorn Erik Barman-Jenssen and Tord Meling.
The company works to secure funding based on private capital and also sent a formal request for financial support to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries - which was however rejected earlier this week.
