Nordica is Estonia's flag carrier. It is solely owned by the Estonian government. The company was founded on 25 September 2015 by the decision of the Estonian Government,[1] following the liquidation of the previous national carrier, Estonian Air. Operations started on 8 November 2015.
The new brand name, Nordica, was announced in March 2016 and used commercially in March 30, 2016.[2][3][4]
Currently, all flights are operated under the AOC of Slovenian carrier Adria Airways, also using its operating systems and equipment, due to the company possessing neither an AOC nor equipment.
NAG's first flight left Tallinn for Amsterdam on 8 November 2015 at 6:58, the first flight with Estonian service on the same route was on 20 January 2016 18:10.

All aircraft wear 'operated by Adria'-sticker, because the airline currently uses the airline certificate of Adria Airways.
As of May 2016, the Nordica fleet consists of the following aircraft:[5]
