flight to Gothenburg - it still wears the basic colour scheme
of former operator Dniproavia (of the Ukraine)

.Former Olympic Airlines ATR 72-212 SX-BIG and SX-BII remain

City Airline becomes Skyways

City Airline which was acquired by the owner of fellow
Swedish regional airline Skyways back in April 2011
has now assumed the Skyways brand name
.
This change has been a long time coming with many
of the City Airline aircraft having long lost their colour
scheme and titles....
.
.... hopefully it will not take as long for the aircraft
to be painted in the smart new red Skyways scheme
.
In the short term the flights are still planned to operate
as the "CF017/018" however with effect from Monday
5 December 2011 the timings on Monday to Thursday
change to lunchtime until the Christmas/New Year
holiday period when a bespoke schedule operates
.
Skyways schedule from Monday 5 December 2011 until Christmas
.
1320/1350 CF017/018 ER3/ER4 from/to Gothenburg
- operates Monday to Thursday
1825/1900 CF017/018 ER3/ER4 from/to Gothenburg
