flybe. Nordic (Helsinki Vantaa) will, subject to approval from the Finnish Trade Register (Kaupparekisterin), be rebranded NoRRA Nordic Regional Airlines (N7, Helsinki Vantaa) later next month as ownership of the airline changes hands.

“The new name reflects our company's core business, i.e. regional flying," Flybe Nordic's managing director, Maunu Visuri, said. "Our goal is to continue to be a high-quality and skilled Nordic airline offering excellent service to our customers.”

Finnair (AY, Helsinki Vantaa) took ownership of the carrier earlier this month and is now in talks with Finnish firms StaffPoint Holding Ltd and G.W. Sohlberg Ltd. over their proposed purchase of flybe. (2002)'s 60% controlling stake.
