Estonia’s Nordic Aviation rebrands as Nordica
Estonia’s new national carrier, Nordic Aviation Group (NAG), has rebranded, taking the name Nordica. Unveiled March 11, the company uses a dragonfly as its logo. NAG was set up by the nation’s govt as a fall-back in advance of the demise of Estonia Air last autumn. The EC had found Estonian Air had breached state subsidy rules and was ordered to pay back some E85m (US$95mn) in aid. Unable to do so, it filed for bankruptcy. Nordic Aviation Group is a virtual airline, a not uncommon practice in the Nordic nations, whereby an entity is set up to operate the sales and marketing functions of an airline, but subcontracts the actual flying to a third party. Nordica plans to make a transition to its own aircraft in the coming months. <br/>
