Nort Jet was a Spanish charter airline owned by Euskal Air S.A., a company from the Basque region. The airline had an association with the French airline Air Charter International.
Company history
Nort Jet was founded in February 1989 by mostly Basque entrepreneurs, including Bilbao Bizkaia Kutxa, Caja Vital and Caja Guipúzcoa, three banks of the region. Since Nort Jet had been projected as a Basque airline originally Vitoria Airport had been intended as its headquarters. However, Euskal Air company had to face too many legal difficulties to set up an airport in the Basque Country as a base for its airline. Therefore, operations began with Palma de Mallorca Airport as a base, a location which also would become its only headquarters.
Nort Jet began with flights between Vitoria, Valladolid, Sevilla and Málaga with the aim to find a place in the regular flight market.[http://miaviacioncomercial.blogspot.com/2011/01/nortjet-euskal-air-sa.html Aviacion Comercial - Nortjet (Euskal Air S.A.)]
Owing to lack of assistance from the Basque Government and lack of expected returns, the airline ceased operations on 14 April 1992.[http://gananzia.com/quiebra-euskal-air-pwc La quiebra de Euskal Air puede costar millones a PWC]
