History
The airline was established in 1997 and started operations on 10 September 2001. Until September 2001 it operated wet leases for British Midland when it started its own regional services from Gothenburg.

The services to several of these cities correspond to the need of large companies in Gothenburg. Volvo Cars co-operates with Jaguar Cars in Birmingham. Volvo Group owns Renault Trucks in Lyon.
