Aircontact Group AS was founded in 1962, focusing on air broking, airfreight forwarding and aircraft financing. Soon the company branched out into the travel & tourism segment, acquiring and founding travel agencies, tour operators and convention organizers. Later the company ventured into areas such as the technology sector, property development and design.

The company’s subsidiary, Aircontact AS, is Norway’s oldest and largest air broker. It specializes in a wide variety of global air transport solutions.

The travel-related activities are, for the large part, organized under the company’s Berg-Hansen Reisebureau AS – Norway’s leading business travel agency.

The non-core investments constitute a significant part of the company’s combined assets.
