Fly the Northern route

 Fly via Helsinki and take advantage of the most direct route between Europe and Asia. Thanks to Helsinki's location, the northern route is a geographically convenient way for traveling between Europe and Asia, as well as between Europe and America. The northern route reduces the overall flight time by 3 hours on average, compared to a regular hub of central Europe or the Middle East.
 The airport of Helsinki is efficient, compact, and easy to navigate. It's the ideal airport for transferring between Asia, Europe, and the US with short transfer times.

Nordic selects the ATR 72-500

These brand new turboprop aircraft will seat 74 passengers in an all-economy cabin layout. Operating alongside our Embraer E175s, the ATR 72-500 will enable Nordic to further expand its domestic and regional network.

Nordic orders additional twin-aisle aircraft; postpones narrowbody fleet renewal decision

Nordic is extremely excited to announce the leasing of 7 additional Airbus A350-900s, bringing our overall A350 fleet up to 10 aircraft! Adding to this, Nordic is also welcoming a new member to the family, the Airbus A330neo! The airline has leased a total of five A330-900neos from our great partner, the Air Lease Corporation. These brand new aircraft will further enhance our passengers' experience and will aid in achieving our goal becoming a major player in connecting Europe with Asia and America.

After the recent worldwide grounding of Boeing's 737 MAX, Nordic is taking the opportunity to postpone their plans regarding the replacement of the 737-800s currently in service. Until the ban on the 737 MAX family is lifted and the first thoughts have been expressed from the public, Nordic will capitalize the given time to make a decision that will benefit the airline and the passengers who choose to fly with us. Therefore, a decision is not expected until Q1 2020. Until then, short-term leasing of additional 737-800s is expected in order for the airline to be prepared for the high-demand Christmas period.
