Transwede Airways AB, trading as Transwede, was a Swedish airline which operated between 1985 and 1998, when it was merged into Braathens and Blue Scandinavia. Established by Thomas Johansson, it became Sweden's second-largest airline after the dismiss of Linjeflyg in 1993. Transwede operated a fleet of Caravelles, Fokker F28s, F100s, Boeing 737s and 757s, McDonnell Douglas MD-80s and Lockheed L-1011 TriStars for charter flights.
