Braathens Regional Airlines and its subsidiary entered financial restructuring under Swedish law on October 10, 2025, to safeguard turboprop operations.
The restructuring aims to reduce costs by renegotiating client agreements and streamlining ATR operations. Operations for ACMI customers SAS Scandinavian Airlines and Austrian Airlines will remain unaffected.
Braathens International Airways and Braathens Crew AB filed for bankruptcy, ending Airbus operations. The airline operates 17 ATR72-600s, with four wet-leased to Austrian Airlines and the rest for SAS.
Braathens Regional Airlines shared: “The goal of the process is to address the transition costs incurred as Braathens shifts to operating solely as an ACMI supplier.As a consequence of Braathens International Airways’ bankruptcy, there will be redundancies within Braathens Regional Airways. The process is in its planning phase, and no notice has been communicated.”
