The Erik Thun Group, a Swedish shipping company which has historically been involved in aircraft sales and leasing, is to leave that business area. Therefore, the Group has signed an agreement with Lars Wingefors AB for the sale of Täby Air Maintenance AB (TAM). The deal also includes the sale of three Saab 2000 aircraft. The transaction marks a new chapter for TAM, which will gain an owner with ambitions to expand its activities in both civil and defence aviation.
Lars Wingefors AB is a private investment company founded by Swedish entrepreneur Lars Wingefors. He is best known as the founder and chief executive of Embracer Group, a major global video games company. Through his investment arm, Wingefors has broadened his portfolio into aviation, signalling long-term interest in the sector.
Täby Air Maintenance AB, based in Örebro, Sweden, has delivered advanced maintenance and modification services since 1989. It specialises in regional aircraft such as the Saab 340, Saab 2000 and ATR aircraft. Over the years, the company has built a strong reputation for technical expertise and global reach. Under the ownership of Erik Thun AB, TAM has expanded its role in sustainable and technologically advanced aviation, becoming a trusted partner for airlines worldwide.
The three Saab 2000 aircraft included in the deal will strengthen Lars Wingefors AB’s existing fleet. They are expected to be offered on the leasing market, supported by TAM’s long-standing maintenance knowledge. This combination of aircraft assets and specialist engineering provides a solid platform for further growth.
Henrik Källsson, Deputy CEO of Erik Thun AB, praised the company’s achievements under their ownership. He noted TAM’s rise as a leading player in aircraft maintenance and expressed confidence in the new owner’s vision and commitment to quality.
With this acquisition, Lars Wingefors AB takes on both valuable aircraft and a highly regarded maintenance company, ensuring TAM continues its journey as a strong force in regional aviation.
