About FlyNordic

FlyNordic was a low-cost airline based in Sweden that operated between 1996 and 2008. It primarily offered scheduled and charter services within Scandinavia and Europe. FlyNordic was founded in 1996 and quickly gained popularity for its cheap fares.

In 2000, the airline faced financial difficulties and had its operating licence revoked. It did relaunch shortly after as Nordic East, later being acquired by Finnair in 2003. Unfortunately, FlyNordic went bankrupt again in 2005. FlyNordic was revived a second time in 2005 by Nordic Airlink Holding, another Finnair subsidiary. The airline lasted 2 years until it was acquired by Norwegian Air Shuttle, making Norwegian the largest low-cost airline in Scandinavia at the time.

FlyNordic was fully integrated into Norwegian Air Shuttle in 2008, marking the end of FlyNordic as a separate brand and all of its routes and aircraft being absorbed by Norwegian.

This was my first booking and I used Alternative Airlines twice on this trip. I must say by far the best online booking experience ever.

So easy to use and the payment options are very helpful when you need to book a ticket and you may not have the full amount at the moment. Really recommend Alternative Airlines to my clients and friends.

What a great way to be able to see my family back in South Africa. This is made possible since we can buy our tickets and pay it off over 4 months. With the price of flight tickets so high Alternative Airlines has been a literal lifesaver!
