He still owns 50% of NAC, which initially leased aircraft for humanitarian aid organizations looking to fly into remote areas. It now caters largely to regional commercial airlines operating in 30 countries. The group, which started in Skive, Denmark, now has offices in Denmark, Ireland, North America and Singapore.
