Charter companies TUI and Ving have decided to re-establish charter flights from Skellefteå Airport to the popular holiday destination Gran Canaria. The highly sought-after trips will start on 19/12/2022 and run until 3/4/2023.
During the corona pandemic, charter trips have been difficult to implement, which has led to a large pent-up travel demand to popular destinations. During the spring, trips to and from Skellefteå have increased, which is also reflected in the demand for charter trips.
Due to this, the tour operators TUI and Ving have decided to jointly offer charter trips to the Spanish tourist destination Gran Canaria.
Flights will start on December 19, 2022 and run weekly until April 3, 2023.
– This is very good news, we know that charter trips to Gran Canaria are incredibly popular and in demand so I am completely convinced that this charter series will be a great success, says Robert Lindberg, CEO of Skellefteå Airport.
– Skellefteå is growing and we obviously want to be part of that development. It feels incredibly fun to now be able to expand our winter program, which we have previously had to Thailand, with direct flights to Gran Canaria. Gran Canaria is a very popular winter destination so it is of course gratifying that we can now offer the people of Skellefteå this opportunity. Says Ronja Jakobsson, Communications Officer at TUI
– For the first time, Ving will offer charter trips from Skellefteå to Gran Canaria for the coming winter. The local market in the Skellefteå region is experiencing strong growth and Ving naturally wants to contribute to an increased range of travel options from Skellefteå and Norrland, says Christine Tötterman at Ving.
