Braathens International Airways was founded in 2022 to operate jet charter services between Scandinavia and southern Europe. In June 2022, it signed a three-year contract with tour operator Ving to provide summer charter flights from regional Scandinavian airports, with the first flights commencing in April 2023 to destinations such as Tenerife from Stockholm Arlanda and Billund. In February 2023, BIX secured a three-year contract valued at SEK 1.6 billion with Apollo, for year-round charter flights from Stockholm Arlanda and Gothenburg Landvetter starting in October 2023.[citation needed]
