AUG 04, 2004 (newstodate): Post Sweden-owbed carrier Falcon Air has inked a contract with Swedish budget airline FlyMe for daytime passenger charter flights with one of the airline's two Boeing 737-300QC aircraft.
Post Sweden decided last year to gradually build on a new airline, Amapola Flyb AB, a subsidiary of family-owned Salenia AB, to provide postal flights with smaller aircraft.
Falcon Air has three Boeing 737-300QCs on a lease agreement expiring late in 2006, and one aircraft has been sub-leased to Islandsflug, leaving the capacity of one aircraft still under-utilised.
As a results of the long-term phasing out of Falcon Air's postal production, staff has already been cut from 150 employees only one yeqr ago, to currently 50.
