Skyline (Sweden)

From 1975 to 1977 the company experienced a major increase to traffic flying three aircraft for Linjeflyg for its scheduled, domestic network.

On 15 January 1977 one its aircraft flying Linjeflyg Flight 618 crashed at Kälvesta during approach to Bromma, killing all 22 people on board.

[2] Because of delays of the delivery of their new Fokker F28 Fellowship aircraft, Linjefly started in 1975 to wet lease flights from Skyline.

Initially these consisted of the routes Stockholm–Kalmar–Ronneby, Stockholm–Visby, Stockholm–Visby–Kalmar–Ronneby–Malmö, Stockholm–Hultsfred–Växjö–Kristianstad–Malmö.To deal with the traffic, Skyline leased two additional Viscounts, the larger 814D model with capacity for 75 passengers.

During the late 1970s Linjeflyg accounted for the vast majority of Skyline's revenue, although it continued to supplement with conventional charter flights.

During approach the pilots suddenly lost pitch control and the aircraft crashed in the neighborhood of Kälvesta, Stockholm.
