Notes
a. Although the subsidiary Regional Jet has an air operator's certificate, most of the Nordica regular flights currently use the airline codes of LO/LOT.[1][2][3]

Nordica is the state-owned Estonian flag carrier headquartered in Tallinn and based at Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport. It is the largest air carrier at Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport. The airline was formed after the 2015 bankruptcy of the previous flag carrier Estonian Air. Since most of the flights are marketed by LOT Polish Airlines - a member of the Star Alliance[4], Nordica also carries LOT's flight codes and callsign on most of its flights. Through its subsidiary Regional Jet in a partnership with Scandinavian Airlines, Regional Jet operates four ATR72-600s between Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, Billund, Goteborg, Hanover and other SK destinations.[5]

History

The company was founded on 25 September 2015 by the decision of the Estonian Government,[6] following the liquidation of the previous national carrier, Estonian Air. Operations started on 8 November 2015. Its first flight left Tallinn for Amsterdam on 8 November 2015, the first flight with Estonian service on the same route was on 20 January 2016.

On 30 March 2016, the new brand name Nordica was announced.[7][8][9]

In the first year Slovenian Adria Airways operated most of Nordica's flights while Nordica built up its own fleet and crew. 19 November 2016 Nordica entered into a strategic partnership with LOT Polish Airlines, using the latter's commercial platform, ticketing system and flight code.[10]
