Wingo xprs
Finnish virtual airline
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wingo xprs was a small airline in Finland which was founded in 2007 in Tampere.[1] The air carrier had no planes or staff of its own but leased them instead. Using just one aircraft Wingo xprs flew to three destinations: Turku via Tampere to Oulu. In 2008, the airline recorded 18,000 passengers. According to Finnish newspaper Turun Sanomat,[full citation needed] the new shareholders approved transfer of headquarters from Tampere to Turku. The initial Saab 340, leased by Avitrans Nordic, was replaced by ATR-42s, always strictly rented. The new chief executive officer was Holger Holm.[2] In 2010, the airline ceased all operations.
