[edit] History

The airline was formed in 2000 to bring together Skyway Holding's regional carriers, Air Express, Highland Air and Airborne, into one consolidated operation. Airborne began in 1984 when it was known as Sundsvall Aero. Highland Air began in September 1995 and was acquired by Skyways in March 1997. Air Express was founded in 1986 and was purchased by Skyways from major shareholder Thomas Sjo in 1999. In April 2002 the airline rebranded as Direktflyg following the sale of the turboprop operation to the Largusgruppen company, now 100% owners of the airline.
