'''FlyNordic''' was an [[airline]] based in [[Stockholm]], [[Sweden]].<ref>"[https://web.archive.org/web/20051218092833/http://www.flynordic.com/menu/aboutflynordic/companyinfo.htm Company Info]." FlyNordic. 18 December 2005. Retrieved on 7 December 2010.</ref> It operated scheduled and charter services in [[Scandinavia]] and [[Europe]]. Its main base was [[Stockholm-Arlanda Airport]], Stockholm.<ref name="FI">{{cite news | title= Directory: World Airlines | work= [[Flight International]] | page= 84 | date= 2007-04-03}}</ref> In 2007, the airline was bought by [[Norwegian Air Shuttle]] and became a fully integrated part of the latter.

== History ==
Originally established as '''Reguljair''' in 1996, the airline operated domestic services with an [[Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirante]]. Its operating licence was revoked on 14 November 2000, and it relaunched in December as Nordic East. Finnair acquired the company in 2003 and 2004, establishing a new subsidiary, Nordic Airlink Holding, and rebranding as FlyNordic. FlyNordic bankrupted in 2005, while Nordic Airlink Holding was reorganised and took up the FlyNordic name.<ref name="FI"/>

On 24 April 2007, [[Norwegian Air Shuttle]] announced that they had bought 100% of the FlyNordic shares from Finnair. This made Norwegian Scandinavia's largest low-cost airline. As a result of Finnair's ownership in FlyNordic, Finnair owned 5% of Norwegian Air Shuttle.<ref>[http://atwonline.com/news/story.html?storyID=8705 Norwegian to strengthen Scandinavian network with FlyNordic acquisition] ATW Daily News, April 25, 2007.</ref>

On 14 March 2008, Norwegian Air Shuttle announced that FlyNordic would be re-branded Norwegian after 5 April 2008 in order to strengthen and unify the brand. This ended the story of FlyNordic.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://news.airwise.com/story/view/1205452168.html |title=AIRwise News, March 14, 2008. |access-date=March 17, 2008 |archive-date=October 23, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171023064026/https://news.airwise.com/story/view/1205452168.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
