Braathens Regional Airways AB is a Swedish airline that operates ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) services for its sister company, Braathens Regional Airlines. It flies to various domestic destinations within Sweden and also provides ad hoc charter services. The airline is headquartered at Stockholm Bromma Airport ^[2] and was previously known as Golden Air and Braathens Regional.

History

The airline was originally registered as Golden Air Flyg AB in September 1976 and operated air taxi and charter services. It underwent several changes until being restructured under the current ownership in August 1993. It started operations on 15 August 1993. It was long wholly owned by shipping company Erik Thun and had 56 employees (at March 2007). ^[3]

In 2012, Golden Air was acquired by Braathens Aviation and the main Trollhättan - Bromma route was taken over by Sverigeflyg. ^[4] On 1 January 2013, Golden Air changed its name to Braathens Regional while retaining the brand name for its Bromma route.

In March 2016, Braathens Regional changed its name to Braathens Regional Airways and together with Braathens Regional Aviation started operating all flights for the virtual airline BRA Braathens Regional Airlines uniting the previously separated brands of Malmö Aviation and Sverigeflyg. ^[5]

Braathens Regional Airways has one maintenance base at Ängelholm–Helsingborg Airport for the ATR 72 and one base at Umeå Airport for the SAAB 2000.
