Estonian Air CEO, Jan Palmer, has said that the bankrupt company will be worth between 5-10 million euro to the Estonian state, after bankruptcy proceedings have been completed.

Nordic Aviation Group, or Nordic Airways, has taken over Estonian Air’s routes with the lease contracts already being transferred over to Transpordi Varahaldus.
