FROST Air, the Danish-headquartered charter carrier based at Malmö Airport in Sweden, has signed an ACMI agreement with Swedish startup Skåne Aviation. This deal marks a key development for both operators in the regional aviation sector.
FROST Air holds an air operator’s certificate and EU operating license issued by the Danish Civil Aviation Authority in May 2024, enabling flights across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. The airline operates a fleet of four Saab 2000 turboprops, each configured with 50 leather seats in a 2+1 layout. These high-speed regional jets feature short runway capabilities, steep approach performance, and turboprop economics. Previously operated under Estonian carrier NyxAir’s AOC, the aircraft—ES-NSE, ES-NSF, ES-NSH, and ES-NSI—transferred to the Danish registry upon FROST’s certification.
Skåne Aviation, a new entrant, plans to launch operations using a chartered Saab 2000, aligning with the growing demand for flexible ACMI services. FROST specializes in ad-hoc charters, sub-charters, and contract flights for sports teams, music and film events, VIP travel, corporate shuttles, diplomatic missions, and humanitarian operations in conflict zones. Half of its flights serve sports teams, with one aircraft based at Leipzig/Halle for automotive industry shuttles.
The ACMI pact allows Skåne Aviation to leverage FROST’s established infrastructure, including Part-145 maintenance and CAMO approvals, while expanding FROST’s network through the startup’s regional focus.
