Most operations are under contract from the government, flying subsidised services to commercially unviable destinations. History Founded by Viggo Wideroe together with four friends, it provided air taxi and ambulance flights, flight train ing and aerial photography until after the Second World War, when it started scheduled seaplane services. A growing public demand for more frequencies and improved punctual ity resulted in the government deciding to replace the sea plane services by establishing a number of short take-off and landing ports. Wideroe was reorganised in 1970 to play a more leading role in the development of scheduled air services in the rural districts, and development into a pure scheduled airline was completed by an injection of new cap ital. In late November 1997. SAS. the Scandinavian flag car rier, purchased 29% of Wideroe's shares, increased to 63.2% in December 1998.
