Amapola Flyg is a passenger and cargo airline based in Stockholm, Sweden. It operates freight services on behalf of the Swedish Post Office, Jetpak and MiniLiner from Maastricht Aachen Airport and its main base at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport.[2] In April 2021, the airline will start flights in Finland from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport to Joensuu, on behalf of the Finnish State traffic authority Traficom.[3]
History
The airline was established and started operations in 2004 to take over postal services previously operated by Falcon Air. It is wholly owned by Salenia (a Swedish investment company) and has some 50 employees.[2] On July 1, 2018, Amapola Flyg has begun passenger air traffic with regional routes in Sweden. Amapola Flyg works together with the Swedish airline Svenska Direktflyg when booking, through the website which flights can be booked.[4]
In July 2021, the airline took over the Dublin to Donegal PSO (Public Service Obligation) service following the collapse of the Irish Stobart Air, committing to provide twice-daily service for seven months.[5]
