The company was established by private investors and received a Swedish Air Operators Certificate on 1 December 2008.[1] It commenced operations in December 2008 with a Boeing 737-400[2] leased from International Lease Finance Corporation. The airline specialises in wet-lease and charter operations, particularly operating services for other carriers when needed.[1] On 25 April 2010 Tor Air's Boeing 737-400 operated the first commercial service between Bagdhad and London in 20 years, while on a wet lease to Iraqi Airways.[3][4]
Tor acquired two Boeing 737-300s to fly Manchester to Preveza and Gothenburg, and London/Gatwick to destinations such as Faro, Skiathos, Bourgas, Sharm el Sheikh, Zante, Kos, Corfu and Rhodes.
On Tuesday, 20th December 2011 Tor's licence was revoked by Sweden’s transportation board,[5] due to lack of financial assets [1]. All staff were made redundant.
