Partnair
During the later 1980s it was Norway's fifth-largest airline by revenue, operating a fleet of three Convair CV-580 and six Beechcraft Super King Air.The airline was established as Paralift in 1968 to allow a group of friends to operate a Cessna 182 for parachuting.The crash of Partnair Flight 394 on 8 September 1989 was the final blow for the company, which filed for bankruptcy on 11 October.[5] The company was incorporated on 30 June 1971[6] and received a commercial air operator's certificate in the fall.[1] The airline took delivery of a de Havilland Dragon Rapide in August, configured for parachuting.Paralift was able to operate many routes cheaper than scheduled services given that the entire aircraft was filled up.Within three years Paralift was operating five such aircraft,[12][13] and had also bought a Piper PA-31T Cheyenne and a Cessna 404 Titan.[19] Instead, Partnair took delivery of two used Cessna 550 Citation II corporate jets, but these were retired within a year.In addition to Partnair moving its flights there, it signed a two-year contract to operate the terminal on behalf of the Civil Aviation Administration.Partnair used the aircraft to fly domestic charter for oil companies, mostly to Andøya Airport, Andenes, as well as larger corporate groups internationally.[25] A new hangar and office building was completed at Oslo Airport, Fornebu in May 1985, having cost 15 million Norwegian kroner.[28] In the second half of 1984 the airline developed plans to start scheduled traffic, and applied for concession to operate out of Sandefjord Airport, Torp to Gothenburg and Copenhagen.Ticket sales and check-in was managed by NSB Reisebyrå, a subsidiary of the Norwegian State Railways.[23] After having lost 10 million kroner of its investment, Tenvig decided to withdraw from the airline and closed it down in April 1987.After about a year the company was again running without a deficit and Helikopter Service sold its shares to the brothers Terje and Rolf Thoresen.Nye Partnair was incorporated in January 1990 and bought large portions of the estate in bankruptcy.
