What Norrønafly does

Norrønafly Propeller & NDT is a privately held Norwegian aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) provider headquartered in Oslo, operating since approximately 1970 with 18-20 employees. The company sells, maintains, and repairs aircraft propellers and delivers non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection services for aircraft bodies, propellers, and components, holding EASA Part 145 (NO.145.0123), UK Part 145 (UK.145.01680), FAA, and EASA Part 21J Design Organisation certifications. Core technical capabilities include eddy current, ultrasonic (conventional and phased array), fluorescent penetrant, and magnetic particle inspection, all performed by inspectors certified to European Standard EN4179, alongside 40+ years of propeller composite service experience.

The business operates three principal revenue streams: (1) propeller maintenance services (base and line maintenance, repair, overhaul, corrosion prevention, exchange propellers, 24/7 AOG support), (2) spare parts distribution (30,000+ line items covering Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, Saab, Maule, and other aircraft types, shipped via overnight carriers worldwide and listed on the PartsBase marketplace), and (3) NDT inspection services. Authorized MRO partnerships cover Dowty (GE Aerospace) propeller types R354, R375, R389, R390, and the newly added R381 for Saab 2000, plus licensed distribution for Sensenich, MT-Propeller, Collins Aerospace (Hamilton), McCauley, and Hartzell. Norrønafly serves a diversified B2B customer base of 100+ active accounts including regional airlines (Norwegian Air Shuttle, SAS, Amapola Flyg, Sprint Air), fleet workshops, private aircraft owners, and military aviation clients across Nordic countries, broader Europe, and globally. A July 2024 sister-company affiliation with DAO Aviation in Denmark extends the group's footprint into airframe, avionics, TPE331 engine, and design organisation services under common Scandinavian ownership.
