Air Åland AB was the provincial airline of Åland, with headquarters and operational base at Mariehamn Airport in Mariehamn, Åland, Finland. It operated scheduled services from Åland to Helsinki and Stockholm.2

The story

The airline was founded on 14 January 2005 as Flyg & Far Åland and started operation on 29 October of that same year, with a broad base of owners within the trade and business of the Åland islands. The airline never had an own AOC (Air Operator Certificate) and through the years the flight operations were entrusted to different air operators. The goal of the owners was to maintain air traffic with good quality at a low price to mainland (Finland and Sweden).

Starting from 1 July 2012, the operations were taken over by the Swedish airline NextJet.
