Primera Air is a Danish and Latvian leisure airline owned by the Icelandic Primera Travel Group. Since it was established in 2003 to provide scheduled air services for tour operators, Primera Air has grown to develop a wide network of over 70 destinations. Primera Air's main headquarters is located in Riga, Latvia under the name Primera Air Nordic, but the airline also has offices in Copenhagen, Denmark under the name Primera Air Scandinavia. The airline flies from airports in Finland, Sweden, Iceland, and Denmark to many different popular holiday destinations, mostly throughout Europe.
Primera Air was originally founded in Iceland under the name JetX. Five years later, in 2008, JetX came under the ownership of the Primera Travel Group and rebranded as Primera Air. The following, under a Danish Air operator's certificate, Primera Air established Primera Air Scandinavia. For its first several years in operation, Primera Air only offered chartered service. It wasn't until 2013 that the airline gradually began offered scheduled service. With the introduction of scheduled flights, Primera Air's network grew in both flight frequency and in number of routes.
The airline remained headquartered in Iceland until 2014, when it moved its main offices to Riga. That same year, Primera Air Nordic was established under a Latvian operating license. All operational matters for both Primera Air Nordic and Primera Air Scandinavia have, from that point on, been overseen from the airline's Network Control Centre in Riga. Today, Primera Air offers mostly scheduled service, but the airline does still provide charter services as well. In the past few years, it has increased flight frequency and adjusted its pricing policy in order to compete with low-cost carriers in Europe.

Primera Air check-in counters close 45 minutes before departure, and you will not be able to receive your boarding pass after that time. Airport check-in is available at every airport that Primera Air flies from. If you want to skip the airport check-in line, then you may have the option of using a Primera Air Self-Service Kiosk depending on your departure city. The self-service kiosk allows you to print your boarding pass and head straight to security. It is available at Stockholm, Malmo, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Billund, and Aalborg. Primera Air online check-in, which is available for flights departing from Stockholm, Malmo, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Malaga, and Tenerife South, allows you to skip both the kiosk and the check-in counter. With online check-in, you can print your boarding pass or have it sent to your mobile device ahead of time. Online check-in is available five days before departure and closes four hours before departure. If you do not want to wait until you check-in to select a seat for your Primera Air flight, then you can opt to reserve a seat in advance for a fee. Fees vary depending on the type of seat you choose and on your itinerary. There are three different seat options available for reservation – standard seats, front seats, and exit row seats. |
