FlyViking AS is a Norwegian regional airline with head office in Lyngseidet, Troms and based in Tromsø. FlyViking operates regional flights in the northern parts of Norway.
History
FlyViking was founded in 1989 as Lofotfly. It was renamed as Fly Taxi Nord in 2000 and operated Piper PA-31 aircraft, on both cargo- and passenger air charter flights. In November 2015, Ola O.K Giæver Jr., a former employee of Norwegian airline Widerøe, bought the airline and later renamed it FlyViking.
In 2016 FlyViking lost the tender competition on a five-year contract by the Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications to operate 13 of Norway's Public Service Obligation routes starting in April 2017. FlyViking and Danish Air Transport lost the tender round, while Widerøe won all of the 13 PSO routes. On February 14, 2017, FlyViking was awarded a new air operator's certificate (AOC) from the Civil Aviation Authority of Norway, the new AOC allowing FlyViking to transport more than 20 passengers on each flight. The airline operated its first scheduled service on 27 March 2017 from Tromsø to Hammerfest and Bodø using a Bombardier Dash 8-100.[1]
