FLN Frisia Luftverkehr is an airline based in Nordeich that operates short regional services from the mainland of Germany, in Lower Saxony to the East Frisian Islands, in the North Sea. The airline was founded in 1969 offering fixed flight times to passengers wanting to travel between mainland Germany and the island towns in the North Sea. After their continual success, the airline expanded its operations In 2011 adding more destinations along the coast. The airline merged with the LFH group in 2014 to create a group of companies offering various services, with FLN being the group's airline. The airline operates the Britten-Norman Islander aircraft on their island flights and some Cessna aircraft for their scenic tours. The airline operates to 9 destinations across the Frisian Islands and mainland Germany as well as offering charter services to other destinations including the Netherlands and other neighbouring countries.
FLN allows you to bring up to 10kg of baggage per person per flight. This is your total weight limit across hand luggage and checked baggage. It is possible to bring more luggage, going up to 20kg, but this will cost a surcharge. The airline also states that 20kg is the maximum weight limit and if this is exceeded they could refuse to allow it on board.
The airline only offers an economy product on its aircraft as well as an economy or standard fare type. The seats aboard the aircraft are all the same and standard for that aircraft type, with a capacity of 8 passengers on their Britten-Norman Islander aircraft. The airline doesn't provide inflight catering as the flight duration is short enough to not warrant it. The airline also doesn't offer any other inflight services and operates solely as a basic transport method getting you from point to point at a low and competitive price.
FLN doesn't have any inflight entertainment or wifi connection as the flights are not long enough. The airline additionally has decided to not install USB or charging facilities aboard their aircraft.
