Skyways is an airline that operates regional and domestic scheduled services. Based in Linköping, Sweden, its main hub is at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport.
History
The airline was established in 1987 and was previously known as Avia. It acquired Salair on 15 July 1991 and Highland Air in March 1997. A partnership was forged with Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) which acquired a 25% stake in April 1998. The owners were Salenia (72.7%), SAS (25%) and Janus (2.3%). The operational division of Skyways was separated from the sales division in 2009. During 2010 there was some restructuring regarding ownership. Scandinavian Airlines sold their share of the company at a loss,[1] and eventually it was acquired by the asset management company Manswell Enterprises Limited, controlled by Ihor Kolomoyskyi. In 2011 Skyways merged with the Gothenburg-based airline City Airline as Skyways. They also bought the danish Cimber Sterling and got in mind to become Scandinavias biggest regional Airline. [2][3] As of December 1, 2010 the operation, sales and marketing of the airline functioned again as one unit under Avia Express continuing the use of the brand Skyways.
