Golfair

Golfair was an airline based in Stockholm, Sweden. It operated scheduled and charter flights within Sweden and to destinations in Europe. The airline was founded in 1988 and commenced operations in 1989. Golfair primarily operated a fleet of Fokker F28 Fellowship aircraft, which were well-suited for short-haul routes.

The airline's network focused on serving regional airports and connecting them to major hubs. Golfair aimed to provide a more flexible and accessible air travel option for business and leisure travelers in Sweden. Its operations were characterized by a focus on efficient turnaround times and customer service.

However, like many regional airlines, Golfair faced significant market challenges. Increased competition, fluctuating fuel prices, and economic downturns put considerable pressure on its profitability. The airline struggled to maintain a sustainable business model in the competitive European aviation landscape.

In 1994, Golfair ceased operations. The reasons for its closure were attributed to financial difficulties and an inability to compete effectively. The demise of Golfair is often cited as an example of the volatile nature of the airline industry, particularly for smaller, independent carriers. Its assets and routes were not significantly absorbed by other carriers, marking a relatively brief but notable chapter in Swedish aviation history.
