Transair Sweden

Transair Sweden AB (ICAO: TB) was a Swedish charter airline that operated until 1981.

From 1965 nine Douglas DC-7B's were bought from Eastern Airlines and were added to the fleet for charter use and for flights during the civil war in Congo on behalf of the United Nations.

Freight flights on behalf of SAS were begun to cities such as Malmo, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Amsterdam, and Paris.

However, a year later Transair was bought by Svenska Handelsbank and financing was introduced to acquire jet aircraft again.

Shortly thereafter, SAS took a majority holding in Transair Sweden and the airline was kept flying independently under its own colors taking tourists to Spain, the Canary Islands, and other Mediterranean destinations.
