About Sparrow Aviation

Sparrow Aviation (formerly known as Flyglinjen) was a domestic airline based in Stockholm, Sweden, which was founded in 2010.

Sparrow Aviation flew between Kristianstad Airport in Kristianstad and Stockholm-Arlanda Airport in Stockholm. The route between Kristianstad-Stockholm Arlanda operated 6 days a week with up to 28 departures.

Sparrow Aviation was re-branded in 2014 and changed its name from Flyglinjen to Sparrow Aviation.

Sparrow Aviation began solely operating domestic flights in the south of Sweden and, from 2014, started a new route from Göteborg City Airport (GSE) to Stockholm Bromma Airport (BMA). The route between Gothenburg and Stockholm ended in January 2015 due to the sudden closure of Göteborg City Airport by Swedavia.

The airline ceased operations in June 2018 due to bankruptcy.

Destinations

Sparrow Aviation only had 2 destinations - Stockholm and Kristianstad.

  • Stockholm Arlanda Airport - Stockholm, Sweden
  • Kristianstad Airport - Kristianstad, Sweden

Baggage

Cabin and check-in baggage - Sparrow Aviation allowed all passengers to check in one (1) bag and bring one (1) cabin bag free of charge.

Class Fares

Due to the nature of Sparrow Aviation's Fokker 50, the airline only offered Economy Class. This means the level of service would be very basic with very few benefits or extras.

Passengers could purchase breakfast, snacks and drinks, when travelling with Sparrow Aviation. Coffee/tea was free of charge.

Sparrow Aviation operated all flights with free seating. Sparrow Aviation reserved the right to reassign seats after boarding - this may have been necessary for safety reasons.

This was my first booking and I used Alternative Airlines twice on this trip. I must say by far the best online booking experience ever.

So easy to use and the payment options are very helpful when you need to book a ticket and you may not have the full amount at the moment. Really recommend Alternative Airlines to my clients and friends.

What a great way to be able to see my family back in South Africa. This is made possible since we can buy our tickets and pay it off over 4 months. With the price of flight tickets so high Alternative Airlines has been a literal lifesaver!
