FLN FRISIA-Luftverkehr GmbH Norddeich, known commercially as Inselflieger (Islandflyer), is a regional airline headquartered in Norden, Lower Saxony, Germany. Established on 14 June 1969, the company primarily focuses on air service connections to the East Frisian Islands.

Destinations

By November 2020, FLN maintained regular scheduled flights linking Norddeich with Juist, Harle Airfield, and Wangerooge. Additionally, it provided charter services on request to other islands within the East Frisian archipelago. In 2025, FLN declared it would discontinue the Juist–Norddeich route, attributing this decision to a drop in passenger numbers influenced by the introduction of new high-speed ferry services. Concurrently, the airline planned a reduction of its aircraft inventory by four units.

Fleet

As of June 2019, the airline's fleet consisted of nine Britten-Norman Islander aircraft, each equipped to carry nine passengers.
