Nordic Aviation Group to launch operations using own aircraft on 20-Jan-2016

Nordic Aviation Group announced (20-Jan-2016) its first own aircraft will depart for Amsterdam service on 20-Jan-2016 with Estonian crew on board. Nordic Aviation Group Board Member Erik Sakkov said: "Until now, we have struggled to ensure the continuation of direct flights from Tallinn with the help of our partners. Now we can start properly focusing on quality. Creating our own fleet and having Estonian teams on board will create these opportunities." The service will be operated using Bombardier CRJ700 aircraft, which will be predominantly deployed on Amsterdam, Brussels and Kiev services. The aircraft is operated by Nordic Aviation Group under Adria Airways' Air Operator's Certificate, under a dry lease contract with Regional One. The carrier plans to increase its fleet by one aircraft monthly, with the second CRJ700 to commence operations in Feb-2016. By summer 2016, Nordic Aviation hopes to increase its fleet to six CRJ type aircraft. [more - original PR - Russian]
