The number of passengers traveling to or from Skellefteå Airport has recovered quickly since the pandemic restrictions were lifted. Traffic statistics for April 2022 show that the number of passengers was higher compared to the same month in 2019.
In April 2022, 22,774 passengers flew to or from Skellefteå Airport. In April 2019, when the pandemic had not yet hit, the corresponding figure was 20,302. This is an increase of 2,472 passengers or 10.8 percent. These figures also show the rapid recovery for the airport since April 2021, when only 5,388 passengers flew to or from Skellefteå.
– It is a recovery that is as quick as it is gratifying. It is proof that people are longing to go out into the world after two years of restrictions, but also a testament to the role that Skellefteå Airport plays for both private individuals and companies in the region's ongoing social development, says Robert Lindberg, CEO of Skellefteå Airport.
Despite the pandemic, Skellefteå Airport has continued to work on developing its offering. Earlier this spring, both BRA and Ryanair resumed the departures that were paused during the pandemic, and during the summer, BRA will fly from Skellefteå and Gothenburg and to Visby during Almedalen Week.
– We have not been idle during the pandemic but have continued to develop Skellefteå Airport for the future. Good air communications are extremely important for the development of the municipality and the region, and we want to be at the forefront when it comes to both supply and climate friendliness, says Robert Lindberg
