| 2 | List of aircraft operated by Braathens - Fleet |  |  |  |  |  |
| 3 | Type | Origin | No. | Introduced | Retired | Notes |
| 4 | Douglas C-54 Skymaster | USA | 6 | 1947 | 1966 | Used military versions of the Douglas DC-4, the C-54 were bought for charter services to the Far East and South America. |
| 5 | Douglas C-47 Dakota | USA | 2 | 1947 | 1964 | C-47, a converted military version of the Douglas DC-3, was bought for short-haul charter, mostly to Europe. They were occasionally used in Norwegian services from the 1950s, before being replaced with the F27. |
| 6 | de Havilland DH.114 Heron | UK | 7 | 1952 | 1960 | The aircraft were bought to allow Braathens SAFE to start internal services, with their small size allowing Braathens to serve regional airports. |
| 7 | Fokker F27-100 Friendship | Netherlands | 8 | 1958 | 1977 | Braathens was the second airline to take delivery of the airliner, and allowed the DC-3s and Herons to be retired. The Friendships were put into the main domestic routes, and by 1960, all Norwegian flights were being flown using F27s. |
| 8 | Douglas DC-6A/C | USA | 1 | 1961 | 1965 | A single aircraft was bought to allow higher-pax Mediterranean charter flights. Unlike the B-series, it had a cargo door, which was not needed for charter flights, and the aircraft was sold parallel with Braathens buying five DC-6B in 1965 and 1966. |
| 9 | Douglas DC-6B | USA | 7 | 1962 | 1973 | The aircraft were bought for Braathens' charter services, mostly to the Mediterranean. All were bought used, most of them from Transair. |
| 10 | Fokker F28-1000 Fellowship | Netherlands | 6 | 1969 | 1986 | After choosing not to order the 737-100, Braathens became the launch customer of the F28, which replaced the F27 on most Norwegian routes. |
| 11 | Boeing 737-200 | USA | 20 | 1969 | 1994 | Braathens was the second customer of the -200 series and the third customer of the 737. The aircraft were originally ordered for the main charter routes, but they gradually took over most of the domestic work. |
| 12 | Boeing 767-200 | USA | 2 | 1984 | 1986 | The aircraft were bought for both internal scheduled and international charter use. The aircraft were too large for the domestic scheduled services, but did not have a dense enough seat configuration to make it economic for charter flights. |
| 13 | Boeing 737-400 | USA | 7 | 1989 | 2004 | The aircraft were originally intended to be used for charter flights, but Braathens decided to replace all its aircraft with 737 Classics. |
| 14 | Boeing 737-500 | USA | 17 | 1990 | 2004 | Boeing developed the -500 with the same capacity as the -200 after requests from airlines including Braathens. The aircraft were delivered between 1990 and 1994, allowing the -200s to be retired. |
| 15 | Fokker 100 | USA | 5 | 1997 | 1999 | The aircraft were inherited through the take-over of Transwede. They were used for internal services in Sweden, but sold after Braathens terminated its Swedish operations. |
| 16 | Boeing 737-300 | USA | 1 | 1997 | 1999 | The single aircraft was inherited through the take-over of Transwede and used for domestic routes in Sweden. Originally Braathens planned to replace all its Transwede-aircraft with 737-300, but the plans fell short. |
| 17 | Boeing 737-700 | USA | 13 | 1998 | 2004 | Braathens expanded its fleet with the -700 ahead of the opening of Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, which allowed the airline to increase its routes considerably. |
| 18 | British Aerospace 146-200 | UK | 10 | 1998 | 2001 | The aircraft were inherited through the take-over of Transwede and Malmö Aviation, and allowed the airline to operate at the short runways at Stockholm-Bromma Airport and London City Airport. |
