flyselskapets

Flyselskapets is the possessive form of the Norwegian noun flyselskapet, which means the airline. The base word flyselskap combines fly (air/flight) and selskap (company), and flyselskapet is its definite form meaning the airline. The possessive form flyselskapets is formed by adding the suffix -s to this definite form, and it is used to indicate ownership or association with a particular airline.

In usage, flyselskapets precedes another noun to show that the thing belongs to the airline. Examples include flyselskapets passasjerer (the airline’s passengers), flyselskapets sikkerhetstiltak (the airline’s safety measures), and flyselskapets ruteplan (the airline’s timetable). The construction is common in Norwegian writing, including journalism, contracts, corporate communications, and everyday speech when describing something connected to a specific airline.

Grammatically, flyselskapets is part of a broader pattern where possessive meaning is expressed by attaching -s to the definite noun form. The base definite form is flyselskapet (the airline); adding -s yields flyselskapets (the airline’s). This form is used regardless of the broader sentence tense or style, provided the referent is a known airline.
