Nordair is a regional airline based in Eriksztadt, Werania and operating within the northern and Arctic regions of Euclea. Its destinations include mainly communities where travel by other methods is lacking, as well as service by larger airlines. Its headquarters and main hub is Eriksztadt Airport (OST), on the Weranic island of Ostry.
History
Nordair first emerged as a concept in the late 1980s, when a number of communities in the far north and Boreal Sea signed a petition demanding more consistent and frequent travel to the mainland, citing the lack of dedicated flights, especially outside of Ostry. In the mid-1990s, with the Ostric economy improving, Weranic venture capitalist Ludwig Hall announced plans in November of 1996 to establish and operate a privately-owned low-budget carrier focused on the North Sea and and surrounding communities. Nordair officially was found on 24 June 1998, with two refurbished Margert D3-100s making up its initial fleet. The company's first flight left Eriksztadt for Bürchaft on 2 May 1999. Since Nordair's founding, Hall has remained the company's CEO.
In 2005, Nordair's fleet was expanded with the purchase of a larger Margert D3-200, growing its number of planes in service to three. As of 2019, the company is currently in talks to purchase a Gladiator GRJ-190, which if approved will become the largest airplane in its fleet, with room for 97 passengers.
