mseiwald Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 With great pleasure Hellenic Airways Group announces the launch of it`s brand new subsidiary SnowStar Scandinavia Airlines on 1st January 2014. SnowStar is based in Oslo (ENGM) and currently operates a fleet of 4 Airbus aircraft (2 A320 and 2 A319) which have been formerly in operation at Hellenic Airways`s wet lease partners. Currently the only international Destination is Stockholm (ESSA) which is served 2 times daily with A319 aircraft. Besides that Snowstar focuses on connecting norwegian cities. Further expansion of SnowStar airlines is planned in the future depending on demand. All Hellenic Airways Flight Crew members can book and fly flights at http://snowstar.flyhellenicairways.com (seperate domain is on the way) and vice versa. It is not required to create a second account. The login data of every pilot of Hellenic Airways and SnowStar airways is valid on both websites and flights at any of the two VA`s will be credited to your account. Have fun flying in Norway! Best wishes and happy new year from the Hellenic Airways Team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshJet Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Not too keen on the name, but it's a nice concept! Livery looks very similar to Nordwind Airlines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benboy123 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Neither the A319 or A320 can land at Røros... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshJet Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Didn't look at your destinations, but in the real world, the smallest of those are served by aircraft like the Dash 8-100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benboy123 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 The only route Snowstar has that is operated with Dash 8-100/-300 in real world is Røros, operated by Widerøe. It has also been operated with Saab 340 and ATR 42 when DAT(DOT LT) had the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mseiwald Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 The shortest runway we fly to is indeed ENRO with 1720m and its true that its too short for the A319 at MTOW. However considering that for this short Hop you dont require much fuel and the aircraft isnt loaded with PAX and Cargo to 100% it is well within possible and legal operating limits. Take Helvetic in Bern for example which runway is with 1730m only 10m longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
