Today goToNordics presents its new venture on direct flights from Skellefteå Airport. On May 3, 2019, it will be possible to travel by direct flight from Skellefteå to experience a long weekend in Riga. This is a departure with departure on May 3 from Skellefteå with return from Riga on May 6.
-Our flight from Kalmar to Riga this spring quickly booked up and we therefore see it as a natural development to also offer the same opportunity to our travelers from Northern Sweden. We have previously operated our own flights to Amsterdam and we will soon start more destinations from Skellefteå and our other locations in Scandinavia. This launch is part of the continued expansion of goTO Nordic's network, says Olle Fält, CEO of goTO Nordics AB.
The flight schedule is optimally arranged to give travelers as much time as possible to discover Riga. The plane takes off early on Friday morning, May 3 from Skellefteå, which gives travelers a full day in Riga on Friday. The weekend can then be spent experiencing the rich culture and history that Riga offers, and much more. The flight returns to Skellefteå on Monday evening, giving travelers four full days to discover the pearl of the Baltics.
"Riga is one of Europe's most interesting weekend destinations, which we can now offer as a destination for the first time in the airport's history. This is a unique opportunity for residents in northern Norrland," says Robert Lindberg, CEO, Skellefteå Airport. The collaboration with goTO Nordics is part of our strategy to be able to offer even more interesting destinations and travel opportunities directly from Skellefteå," concludes Robert Lindberg.
On the flight, which takes place on a brand new CS 300 manufactured by Canadian Bombardier and with 145 seats, it is possible to book both an airline seat and packaged trips with hotels and special spa packages.
