The beginning Finnish Commuter Airlines was estabilished in 1993 and started flying on irregular basis in the second half of that decade. Cooperation with
Finnair started in 1998 when staff, flight planning, operations control and marketing functions were provided to Swedish regional airline
Golden Air Flyg. The first schedules were started in 2003, all of them on behalf of Finnair and Golden Air Flyg, using
Finncomm Airlines brand. The fleet was made up by a single leased
Embraer E145 which was soon joined by another one and also by two
Saab 340s. Traffic grew and in 2005 the fleet also included the first
ATR 42. By June 2007, through a code-sharing agreement with Finnair, the network had expanded to 15 domestic routes and 4 international ones. In early 2011 larger
ATR 72s had been added to the fleet.
