History

The airline was established and started operations in 2004 to take over postal services previously operated by Falcon Air. It is wholly owned by Salenia (a Swedish investment company) and has some 50 employees.[2] On July 1, 2018, Amapola Flyg has begun passenger air traffic with regional routes in Sweden. Amapola Flyg works together with the Swedish airline Svenska Direktflyg when booking, through the website which flights can be booked.[4]

In July 2021, the airline took over the Dublin to Donegal PSO (Public Service Obligation) service following the collapse of the Irish Stobart Air, committing to provide twice-daily service for seven months.[5]
