Magic Bird was a cargo airline based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It operates services between Sundsvall and Stockholm for the post office in Sweden. Its main base is Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.[1]

History

The airline started operations in April 2006, was owned by an unnamed Luxembourg holding company, and had 12 employees (at March 2007).[1] It was the successor to Magic Blue Airlines which went out of business in December 2005.[2] Magic Bird ceased operations in May 2007 and was declared bankrupt on 3 July 2007 due to poor financial management by the directors.

Fleet

The Magic Bird fleet includes the following aircraft (at June 2007):[3]

  • 2 BAe ATP
  • 2 Fokker 50F

In June 2006 it was reported that the airline would soon add a second BAe ATP freighter to its fleet [4] and in December 2006 Magic Bird leased an ATP freighter to Atlantic Airlines.[5] In April 2007 the airline leased two ex-Newair Fokker 50F freighters.[6]
