Norlandair is an Icelandic airline. It was founded on 1 June 2008 when it acquired the Twin Otter flight operation of Icelandair. It operates domestic scheduled services within Iceland, air charter as well as limited international scheduled services to Greenland.
History
The company traces its roots to a company with the same name, founded in 1974, when a few aviation professionals acquired North Air, based in Akureyri. In 1975 Icelandair bought a stake in the company, enabling it to purchase a Twin Otter aircraft for use in scheduled and charter flights, and to begin serving the east coast of Greenland.[1]
In 1997, Flugfélag Norðurlands and the domestic operations of Icelandair merged as Air Iceland. The charter flight department and the maintenance department for the Twin Otter aircraft were located in Akureyri.
