The original Fonnafly AS was founded on 6 November
1970, in Rosendal, Kvinnherad, Hardanger, as a seaplane operator.
At one stage, Fonnafly was one of Norway's biggest
charter/taxi air operators, operating both seaplanes and twin engine
landplanes. In February 1990, the seaplane operation was parted
out and renamed Fonnafly Sjø AS. The company was a pure seaplane
operator until 2004, when the first helicopter was introduced.
The company was again renamed, this time back to Fonnafly AS.
April 1, 2004 was a new milestone in Fonnafly's
history. For the first time Fonnafly became a licensed
helicopter operator. Two Robinson R44 helicopters were acquired and
were operated from bases at Bergen Airport Flesland (ENBR) and in
central Bergen.
A partner to Fonnafly AS, Voss Helikopter AS (Org.
No: 890 425 232) was founded 20 October 2006 by Jon Ove Velure and
Lars Løne. Owned 50% by Løne Holding and 50% by Hardanger
Chips AS, Voss Helikopter operate a single Eurocopter from Bømoen in
Voss.
Fonnafly does not own any aircraft, but lease
aircraft as required. Another milstone was reached in March 2008
when Fonnafly leased their first turbine engined seaplane, a Cessna 208A
Caravan 675 amphibian LN-SEA.
