Having put its new Beech 200 on the Norwegian register in January of this year, Gardermoen-based Trans Wing is now using the aircraft to carry out crew changes for the oil industry.\rOwner and chief pilot, Per Nilsen, ferried the Beech 200 home in late December of last year, having bought it from Atlanta Jet in the US. EBAN caught up with him during a recent trip to Aberdeen. \rNilsen explained: "In Norway, we have several airports with 800 metres take-off and landing distance available and the Beech 200 is ideal for use on the shortfield. \r"Also, it is very roomy. You can fly with 12 passengers and they can all have as much luggage as they want with them. Most of our trips are within one and a half hours. For me, the King Air 200 is the best aircraft ever built in that class.\rNilsen says the company will do no more than 500 hours a year in the Beech 200, reflecting that the taxi business is not good in Norway at the moment. "In fact" he said, "the taxi business has never been good in Scandinavia, with most of the companies going broke after a year or two.\r"We are a small country and the airliners are serving the airports very well. They fly very cheaply and in addition, the government in Norway is sponsoring them."\rThe mainstay of Trans Wing's business over the past 10 years has involved Caravans. Nilsen said: "We were regularly doing 5,000 hours a year with the three Caravans but I have now sold them. The business was overnight cargo for the mail and newspaper industry. After 10 years of work around the clock, I thought that was enough for me."\rTrans Wing has no further plans at the moment and Nilsen warned: "The problem with most companies is that they have too many plans. Sometimes it's better not to look to bigger aircraft, just stick to what you know."\rOf Gardermoen airport, which opened roughly two years ago, he said: "The airport is okay. I know it has a very good record in Europe."
