Nordic Aviation (Tallinn Lennart Meri) will rebrand itself as Nordica (ND, Tallinn Lennart Meri) with effect from April 1 Nordic Aviation Group board member Erik Sakkov has said.

"With our new brand we will continue to be acting on the principle and the wish to be Estonian – of the kind that people of Estonia would like and that would cause good emotions in foreigners. We wish our aircraft to be flying embassies of Estonia," he said in a press release.

Since its inception late last year, the virtual carrier has chartered aircraft from a variety of European carriers including NextJet (Stockholm Arlanda) (a BAe ATP), Adria Airways (Ljubljana) (a CRJ700), bmi regional (Aberdeen Dyce) (three E145s), and Carpatair (V3, Timisoara) (one Fokker 100). Next month, it is expected to begin using a trio of CRJ900s and two CRJ-700s sourced from sister firm, Regional Jet (Tallinn Lennart Meri).
