I think the owner is T. Johansson and co, ex Blueskan and Airops. Rumours say they are geting 747.

I have a few ex mates who are presently flying with them , based in MAN, but i don't have much info on them .

T Johansson was not involved in Blue Scandinavia (now part of Britannia Airways)
if that is what you mean with "blueskan".

This is an old ad (already appeared on other av jobs sites in early May).

Transjet Airways, based in Stockholm, was formerly known as Swedish Aviation Europe (SAE) which was formerly known as Air Nordic, which started operations in 1986 out of Vasteras.

Besides this new MD deal, they indeed operate a 747-200, as well as 1 DC9 & 6 F27-100.

As far as I know they only operate two MD-83. They used to operate F27 but not any more and rumours say they have plans for one B747.
