History

The company started operations in 1986 as Coast Aero Center at Haugesund Airport. In the early years the airline operated Piper PA-31 Navajo and De Havilland Canada Twin Otters. In 1993 it received its first Jetstream 31. 1986 (MCMLXXXVI) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... The PA-31 Navajo was designed by Piper Aircraft to fill a gap in their product line; a large twin aircraft using Lycoming engines for the general aviation market was sorely needed in the mid-1960s, and founder W.T. Piper requested the type be developed. ... The DHC-6 Twin Otter is the most successful aircraft program in Canadas history. ... The Handley Page HP.137 Jetstream was a small twin turboprop airliner, with a pressurised fuselage, designed to meet the requirements of the United States feederliner and regional airline market. ...

In 1999 the airline won a public service obligation contract with the Norwegian government on the route Oslo-Florø-Bergen, with operations starting April 1, 2000 with an ATR-42-300; for the first time another airline than Widerøe flew on the contracted regional network in Norway. But three years later the airline lost the contract to Danish Air Transport, but won the contract Oslo-Fagernes. It also started a route from Haugesund to Oslo in competition with SAS, another operation that gave losses. Coast air also has flown to Aberdeen from Bergen, but hasn't managed to make money on that route either, and closed it down. During most of 2005 the airline wetleased one of the Jetstream 31 aircraft to Vildanden on their route Skien-Bergen. 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ...

In August one of the three previous owners, Trygve Seglem, bought all the stocks in the holding company Kystfly AS through his investment company. The airline (operating company) is losing money. All aircraft leased from the holding company. No financial data is published for the holding company. This article is about the year 2001. ...
