Originally formed in 1944 as Avia it was not until 1992 that Avia and Salair merged and the following year Skyways came into being. In 1997 Skyways became an SAS partner airline which opened up more possibilities for the airline to develop it’s route network.

Skyways Express Scandinavian Flights

Currently Skyways operates a relatively small network with 14 Swedish domestic and one international airport on it’s network. On many of it’s routes it is the only airline operating flights but with the relatively small aircraft they operate should continue to get good load factors thus ensuring continuity. The same can’t be said for the airports that Skyways previously operated to in Estonia, Finland and Germany who have all felt the pinch of the economic downturn and are no longer served by Skyways Express. They have very wisely cut back on non profitable routes and have concentrated efforts on maximising the use of their fuel efficient fleet of aircraft to their core airports in Sweden.

Skyways Express operate a fleet of Fokker 50, Jetstream 31 and Saab 340 aircraft.
