Nordic Regional Airlines (Norra), Finnair’s regional partner, received its second leased ATR 72-600 in Helsinki on 3 November after a transfer flight from Toulouse. The aircraft is expected to carry the Finnish registration OH-ATS and enter scheduled service in early 2027. Built in 2020, it previously operated for Braathens Regional Airlines and flew in SAS colours. The two leased turboprops are intended to strengthen Norra’s fleet, which operates regional services for Finnair.
The first aircraft, registered OH-ATR, arrived in Finland in September and began flying Finnair routes on 16 October. Both aircraft are leased from UK-based Avation. The reported six-year lease term has not been confirmed by the companies.
Norra operates regional flights on Finnair’s behalf. The second ATR’s expected registration and service-entry timing remain prospective; no scheduled start date has been confirmed.
