Once you get past the ten or twelve most populous areas a daily twin otter run would usually be more than adequate.
Norwegian was a domestic/regional carrier for nearly 20 years before launching international operations. Part of the geography is exactly why they need a domestic carrier. Widerøe is another, existed for nearly 90 years doing primarily Norway Ops.
