Braathens Regional Aviation is an airline based in Malmö, Sweden. It was known under the name Malmö Aviation and operated domestic routes in Sweden from its hub at Stockholm-Bromma Airport until February 2016 when its operations merged with Sverigeflyg to form BRA Braathens Regional Airlines. In the process the airline changed its name to Braathens Regional Aviation and ceased its network-operations. Instead it now provides ACMI services for its sister airline.[2][3]

History

Malmö Aviation was sold to CityAir Scandinavia on 11 February 1992. A new company Malmö Aviation Schedule was formed on 16 April 1993 under the ownership of Wiklund Inter Trade. Braathens of Norway acquired full control in August 1998 and in early 1999 integrated Braathens Sweden (formerly Transwede) into Malmö Aviation. In December 2001 it became an independent airline owned by Braganza AS/Bramora. This was the result of the Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) acquisition of Braathens in which Malmö Aviation, for legal reasons, was not included. It is wholly owned by Braathens Aviation and in March 2007 had 500 employees. In March 2016, Malmö Aviation operations merged into BRA - Braathens Regional Airlines together with Sverigeflyg and the name was changed to Braathens Regional Aviation.

Destinations

Braathens Regional Aviation does no longer operate flights under its own name. Instead the aircraft are used to operate flights for sister airline BRA - Braathens Regional Airlines.
