This page shows my collection of postcards from Transwede.

Quoted from Wikipedia:

SVENSKA/SWEDISH:

Transwede bildades av Thomas Johansson 1985 och flög för Fritidsresor fram till 1998 då charterdelen bytte namn till Blue Scandinavia och senare Britannia och nu TUIfly Nordic. Reguljärdelen slogs då i hop med Malmö Aviation samtidigt som bolaget köptes av Per G. Braathen. Bolaget bytte namn till Braathens Malmö Aviation. Allt som fanns kvar av Transwede såldes eller lades ned och Malmö Aviation återgick efter en tid till ursprungliga konstellationen. Transwedes tekniska avdelning såldes till FFV Aviocomp.

År 2005 startades Transwede på nytt av Per G. Braathen som också äger Malmö Aviation. EI-COQ trafikerade linjen Arlanda-London City Airport (LCY) för SAS när Transwedes linjetrafik startades. SE-DJZ flyger för Air One mellan London City och Milano. SAS Norge hyr SE-DJP och SE-DJY. Transwede är ett systerbolag till Malmö Aviation och ingår i Braathens Aviation.

ENGLISH:

Transwede Airways AB was a charter airline based at Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport, Sweden. Transwede operated flights on wet lease agreements from London City Airport, as well as charter flights. The company was owned by Braathens Aviation. Transwede Airways had appointed a new CEO, Trygve Gjertsen, who started January 1, 2007, taking over Jimmie Bergqvist.

The inaugural flight from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport to London City Airport, numbered SK517, took place on February 13, 2006, under Scandinavian Airlines colors. This has given place to two daily flights, numbered SK517/518 and SK529/530, with the new Transwede livery, which is a variation of Malmö's, as can be seen from Airliners.

The title Transwede has already been in use before: the old Transwede had been set up by Thomas Johansson in 1985 until 1998, when the airline was restructured and changed its name to Blue Scandinavia (TUIfly Nordic since May 2006) before being incorporated into Britannia, the remains being integrated by Per G. Braathen in Malmö Aviation and Braathens airlines. The old airline flew aircraft types ranging from Caravelles, Fokker F28s, F100s, Boeing 737s and 757s, McDonnell Douglas MD-80s and Lockheed L-1011 TriStars for charter flights.
