Teddy Air
Encyclopedia
Teddy Air AS was a regional airline
, based at Skien Airport, Geiteryggen
, in Norway
. Operating between 1989 and 2004, the company operated Britten-Norman Islander
, Embraer 110 and Saab 340
aircraft. The company started by providing a scheduled service between Skien and Oslo
in 1990, followed by services to Stavanger
in 1993 and Bergen
in 1994. In 1996, it won a contract with the Ministry of Transport
from Oslo to Fagernes
. It was involved in intense competition with other regional airlines, notably Coast Air
and Guard Air, following the deregulation of the aviation market. It also had a single international service to Gothenburg
, and from 1999 it served Stord Airport, Sørstokken
. From 1999, the company was transformed to a virtual airline
, which wet lease
d aircraft from Golden Air
. The company ceased operations in 2004.
Norving
terminated all scheduled services in Southern Norway. As a consequence, airports such as Skien Airport, Geiteryggen
, were left without an airline and services to the capital, Oslo
. Teddy Air was subsequently established as a Skien
-based company to provide an air route between Skien and Oslo Airport, Fornebu
. Founded by Harald Sørensen in 1989, the largest owners were Skien Business Development Fund and Telemark Business Development Fund. It would provide four round trips with a Britten-Norman Islander
. The company stated that it needed 8,000 passengers annually to cover costs, with the ticket price set at about . The fiercest competition would come from the Vestfold Line of the Norwegian State Railways, where a train from Skien to Oslo ran each hour. The three-hour train trip cost NOK 167, compared to the 25-minute flight. Concession
was granted by the Ministry of Transport
in August 1989, but the airline did not commence operations until 18 July 1990.
In Grenland
, the metropolitan area surrounding Skien, there was a lot of opposition to the airline, and several local businesspeople claimed that it would be better if Norsk Air
was awarded the contract, or Skien Airport was closed and locals instead used the nearby Sandefjord Airport, Torp. Norsk Air stated that it would not be possible for them to make money on the Skien–Oslo route; despite that, it operated from Skien to Bergen Airport, Flesland
and Stavanger Airport, Sola
. In 1993, Norsk Air announced that it would no longer fly from Skien, and would focus all their operations at Sandefjord. Teddy Air subsequently took over the Stavanger route, while the Bergen route was granted to Air Stord, despite Teddy Air having applied for the concession. In 1994, the company had a revenue of NOK 7.5 million, and a NOK 1 million profit.
-airline to operate any route they wished, Teddy Air tried to start services at Moss Airport, Rygge
. Since it at the time was the military-only Rygge Air Station
, with no passenger facilities, the airline was not successful in receiving permission. However, it did choose to start competing with Air Stord on the Skien–Bergen route, starting 8 May 1995. Using its Embraer 110 aircraft, it launched tickets for under NOK 1000, compared with the NOK 1290 fee offered by Air Stord. The latter had aircraft half the size, but offered 31 flights per week, compared to the 16 offered by Teddy Air. In addition, Coast Air
launched two weekly round trips. The routes were mainly used by commuters working on offshore oil platforms in the North Sea
. By 1995, 60% of the airline had been bought by Hermann Løvenskiold.
In 1996, the company won the first public service obligation
tender that was issued by the Ministry of Transport and Communications
. Starting 1 August, Teddy Air started serving Fagernes Airport, Leirin
, with routes to Oslo and Bergen. The contract gave a subsidy of NOK 23.7 million for three years, and was 15% lower than what Coast Air had been receiving. On 20 May 1997, Teddy Air started its first international route, from Stavanger to Gothenburg
in Sweden.
After the opening of Oslo Airport, Gardermoen
, in 1998, which is located 50 kilometers north of Oslo, both Teddy Air and Guard Air announced they were going to start routes to the new airport. Both established six daily round trips—Teddy Air using an Embraer 110 and Guard Air using a Dornier 228. The new airport would make driving to the Oslo Airport about an hour longer from Grenland, and both airlines hoped to create a feeder service. Teddy Air withdrew from the route after one month, after having lost more than NOK 1 million.
In February 1999, Air Stord filed for bankruptcy. On 21 February, Teddy Air launched a route between Stord Airport, Sørstokken
, and Oslo, using Saab 340
aircraft. This allowed four daily round trips during the week, and two on Sundays. Other airlines saw the route as attractive, and Coast Air
launched eight daily round trips between the two airports. Teddy Air was soon forced to withdraw from the route, after it was unable to make any profits from it. The Fagernes routes were lost from 1 August 1999, when the contract was won by Widerøe
.
in 1999. All operations were taken over by the Swedish airline Golden Air
, who would operate the Saab 340 aircraft. At the same time, Golden Air bought half of Teddy Air. In October, Coast Air announced that they had too few aircraft to continue flying from Stord, and would terminate operations. Teddy Air became the only airline to serve Stord. 1999 returned a loss of NOK 6.9 million. In 2004, Teddy Air terminated all services. The contract with Golden Air was discontinued, and the hangar at Geiteryggen was sold. The company remained on paper until 2005, when the equity was gone and the entity was dissolved.
