DAT A/S, formerly named Danish Air Transport, is a Danish airline headquartered in Vamdrup, Kolding Municipality, operating scheduled and chartered passenger flights mainly from airports in Denmark, Norway, Italy and Germany.

History

The airline was founded as Danish Air Transport in 1989 and started operations in that same year, initially as a cargo airline. Soon special flights like the transport of live horses or supplies for the Paris Dakar Rally in Africa were carried out, too. Passenger charter flights were added in 1994, with the subsequent launch of scheduled services on 18 November, 1996.

Since 2003, DAT also owns DAT LT which operates under its own Lithuanian AOC. Prior to 2020, the airline changed its legal name and brand from Danish Air Transport to the abbreviated DAT.

Currently, the airline only operates flights to Scandinavia and European countries including Italy and Germany.

Operations in Italy

Since July 1, 2018, DAT has been responsible, under a public service obligation, for scheduled air services from and to the Sicilian islands of Pantelleria and Lampedusa. These services are operated under Voli di Sicilia brand. The contract, initially valid until June 30, 2021, was subsequently extended until March 31, 2026.

From June 28, 2019, until September 8, 2019, DAT operated a direct twice-weekly Catania-Olbia flight with an ATR 72-200 twin-engined aircraft. Finally, starting November 3, 2025, it was entrusted with the flights from Ancona to Rome Fiumicino and Milan Linate airports. These flights are operated under Voli delle Marche brand.
