This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Sterling Airlines? Wrong! If the Sterling Airlines is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Sterling Airlines then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

Nordic Travel Holding, [Denmark|focus_cities=[Stockholm-Arlanda AirportOslo Airport, GardermoenBillund AirportGothenburg-Landvetter Airport owned [low-cost airline, based in
Copenhagen, Denmark. It was created in September
2005 through the merger of two Danish airlines - Sterling European Airlines A/S and
Maersk Air A/S - which had been bought by Icelandic investment group
Fons Eignarhaldsfelag a few months before. One month after the merger, Sterling Airlines was sold to the FL Group, which owns
Icelandair.
On 6 January
2006, Hannes Smárason, CEO of the FL Group, stated that a merger of easyJet and Sterling was a possibility.
At the end of 2005 Sterling Airlines had 1,600 staff and 29 aircraft, making it almost twice as large as Icelandair. The company flew to some European 40 destinations, with Copenhagen,
Oslo and
Stockholm as principal hubs.
History
For the history of Maersk Air, see Maersk Air.Sterling Airlines traces its history back to 1962, when Ejlif Krogager, founder of Danish travel agency
Tjæreborg (today part of MyTravel Group PLC), started the
charter airline Sterling Airways with two old Douglas DC-6B bought from
Swissair, in order to better service his own package tours from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean. In 1965 Sterling received its first Sud Aviation Caravelle, and in 1968 the
company was bought out of the Tjæreborg Group and started servicing other travel agents as well.
In 1987 the company celebrated its 25th
anniversary with 19
aircraft and almost 1,300 staff, but a few years later, in
1993, Sterling Airways went
bankrupt. In 1994 the estate after Sterling Airways re-created the company as Sterling European Airlines, with three aircraft and 182
staff.
In
1996 Sterling was bought by the Norway shipping company
Fred. Olsen & Co..
In 2000 Sterling started with regular air services to Málaga and Alicante, to compensate for the diminishing charter travel business. More routes were added in 2001, when it was also decided that Sterling should leave the charter industry and become a fully fledged low-fare airline. During 2002 Sterling opened 21 new routes, primarily between
Scandinavia and
Southern Europe, but also routes from Copenhagen to
Oslo and
Stockholm.
In 2003 Sterling expanded its fleet from six to eight aircraft and opened 11 more routes between Scandinavia and
Southern Europe. Passenger numbers reached a record high of 1,3 million; a 40 % increase on 2002. In 2004 the fleet grew to 12 aircraft.
In March 2005
Fred. Olsen sold Sterling to the Icelandic investment company
Fons Eignarhaldsfelag hf, owners of the small
Iceland Express airline, and the
managing director of
Iceland Express,
Almar Örn Hilmarsson, was promoted to new managing director for Sterling. In June 2005 the
Fons Eignarhaldsfelag bought Maersk Air from the
A.P. Moller-Maersk Group and announced that they wanted to merge the two airlines under Sterling Airlines A/S. In September 2005 the merger was approved by the authorities and Sterling Airlines A/S was the only operational company — the fourth largest low-fare airline in Europe — and only a month later
Fons Eignarhaldsfelag sold the company to the
FL Group.
In April
2007 Essential Aircraft Maintenance Services ( EAMS) has been established by LD Equity 2 based on the acquisition of Sterling’s aircraft maintenance department. LD Equity 2 has, together with a new management team, acquired Sterling's aircraft maintenance activities and has established Essential Aircraft Maintenance Services A/S.
