The Norwegian airline Braathens SAFE was among the first customers. In 1965 the company stepped into the jet age with an order for 5 Fokker Fellowship F28s. The first aircraft, “Olav Kyrre”, was works number 9 and was delivered to Braathens SAFE in 1969.The airline used this aircraft type until 1986. “Olav Kyrre” signalled a new era in Norwegian aviation by being the first jet aircraft to land at Kirkenes and on Svalbard.
In the first half of the 1970s several new Norwegian airports were built. The Fokker Fellowship became a regular sight at many of them, including the airports in Kristiansund and Molde. At the weekends, when there was little traffic on inland routes, the aircraft were used for charter trips abroad.
The fleet of F-28 aircraft remained in service until 1986. The airline Braathens was "Part of the SAS Group" until Integrated into SAS Braathens with effectivity from April 1st 2005.
