2023 was the third best year ever for Skellefteå Airport.
347 430 passengers traveled to or from Skellefteå last year, which is an increase of 79 914 passengers (+30%) compared to 2022 and 60 351 passengers (+17%) compared to 2019.

2023 was a successful year for Skellefteå Airport.

Today, the airport is one of the few in Sweden that shows a higher growth rate than in 2019, before the corona pandemic.
The increase is due to strong regional development with many new industrial establishments where good air connections with the outside world are extremely important.
Skellefteå Airport is currently one of Sweden’s fastest growing airports and the development is expected to continue.

– In 2024 and beyond, we expect increased growth due to strong regional growth.
In 2024, several new charter destinations and a new direct international route to Gdansk will start and there is also a great interest from airlines to serve Skellefteå, says Robert Lindberg CEO of Skellefteå Airport.

Another detail is that there were 2,488 movements (takeoffs and landings) with electric aircraft at Skellefteå Airport in 2023, which probably places the airport among the top in the world where most flights with electric aircraft take place.

– At Skellefteå Airport, the Green Flight Academy has established its world-unique sustainable pilot training where a large part of the training takes place with electric aircraft.
We are incredibly proud to be a pioneer and enabler of electric flights and other sustainable air transportation, says Robert Lindberg CEO of Skellefteå Airport.
