Finnair has released this statement:
Danish Air Transport (DAT) has acquired 60% of Nordic Regional Airlines AB (Norra) from Finnair, which held the 100 % stake in Norra on an interim basis after Norra’s previous owners who held 60% of shares exited the business in November 2017.
Finnair continues to own 40% of the company. As such, the transaction has no impact on Norra’s operations, personnel or purchase agreement between Finnair and Norra.
Norra operates Finnair’s domestic and European routes with a total of 24 ATR and Embraer aircraft.
The transaction requires approval by the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority.
