Linjeflyg / Scandinavian Airlines System

    Linjeflyg was a Swedish domestic airline, formed in 1957 as a domestic subsidiary by Scandinavian Airlines System and Airtaco as well as by newspaper publishers Dagens Nyheter AB and Stockholms-Tidningen AB. The Swedish airline was a major user of the Fellowship between 1973 and 1992. Using the Mk.1000 and Mk. 4000 models, as well as two F28 Mk.6000 leased from Fokker. Linjeflyg was also the first customer for the Mk.4000 version.

    Linjeflyg was Sweden's largest domestic airline. It served over 20 domestic airports and carried over 5 million people annually. Linjeflyg had 2200 employees in 1992, and was at that time the largest Fokker F28 operator in the world.

    In Feb1992 Linjeflyg became too big a threat for SAS, because it planned a strategic alliance with Braathens and Maersk Air. Such an alliance would have been too competitive for SAS on the intra-Scandinavian capital routes and on domestic flights. Consequently SAS bought the 50% of Linjeflyg that it did not already own, to maintain its market dominance. On 01Jan93 Linjeflyg was merged into SAS. The fleet of F-28 aircraft continued to operate with SAS until 1999.

Nigeria Airways

    Nigeria Airways was founded in 1968 after the Nigerian Federal Government established a national carrier to take over after its precursor West African Airways Corp. (commenced 1946) ceased operations. In the early 80s the airline had a motley fleet of 30 aircrafts, include VC10, Boeing 707, 737-200, Douglas DC-8, DC-10, and Aibus A310 . Since 1972 incorporated the Fokker F-28 into its fleet, operating 12 of these machines throughout its history. Financial turmoil forced airline to shut down in 2003 as most of its fleet became impounded or unserviseable. Airline was badly managed and it has been alleged that Nigeria's ruling elite looted its assets. Virgin Atlantic came to an agreement with the Nigeria's government to form Virgin Nigeria Airways that replaced the national carrier. Some assets were also transfered to Arik Air.
