Amapola Flyg has been awarded the Public Service Obligation (PSO) air services contract
for the Dublin Int'l to Donegal and vice versa route
after it was left vacant following the collapse of Stobart Air (RE, Dublin Int'l) in June.

An Irish government statement said the Swedish regional carrier
would use a Fokker 50 to run the route twice a day, every day effective July 26.

The aircraft being used for the route is a 1987 built machine initially for DLT in Germany.
The aircraft went on to operate for Lufthansa Cityline, Air Nostrum in Spain and then spent time in Belgium with VLM and Air Antwerp.

The aircraft, SE-MFY (c/n 20109) used on their initial services positioned from the company’s base in Malmo to Dublin
arriving shortly before 14.00 on Sunday afternoon.

The aircraft positioned on to Donegal Airport in Carrickfin later in the afternoon in readiness for the first service. Flights can be booked on the airline’s website
