Dutch charter operator Voigt Travel has decided to expand its charter trips with direct flights from Amsterdam Schiphol to Skellefteå Airport in the winter season 2022. Voigt Travel will operate weekly during the period
January 30 – March 13 to fly winter-hungry tourists to Skellefteå and tourist attractions in Swedish Lapland. In addition, trips from Skellefteå will be possible through a collaboration between Voigt Travel and the local travel agency Reseproducenten.
Voigt Travel has previously operated a number of flights from the Netherlands to Skellefteå during the summer period, which have proven to be very successful.
Now the company is choosing to also establish a winter series to Skellefteå and experiences in Swedish Lapland.
Voigt Travel has also intensified its cooperation with the airline Transavia, which will operate the flights during the winter season 2021/2022. The existing range of destinations that have already been served directly in recent years are Kuusamo, Kittilä, Ivalo and Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland and Akureyri in northern Iceland.
Now this is being expanded with the new winter destination Skellefteå in Swedish Lapland. During the period January 30 – March 13, 2022, a total of up to 1,000 guests will arrive in Skellefteå and Swedish Lapland, which in turn could mean up to 7,000 new guest nights in tourism and the hotel industry in Norr and Västerbotten.
Through a unique collaboration between Voigt Travel and the local travel agency Reseprodukten, it will also be possible to use the flight route for package tours to Amsterdam or for, for example, the business community's need for direct flights.
– I am very proud of the addition of this new direct flight connection to our original winter offer. Swedish Lapland has everything it takes to create an optimal winter experience. In addition, this authentic destination fits extremely well with the traveler's current need for freedom and nature. The demand for special winter trips is increasing and with the direct flight connection from Amsterdam to Skellefteå we can meet the traveler's wishes and make Swedish Lapland accessible to our customers. With the intensification of our cooperation with Transavia, we have good capacity for the winter season 2021/2022 and we are confident that our nineteenth winter season with direct flights to northern Europe will be a success, says Marloes Meijer, CEO of Voigt Travel.
-This is fantastic news. Through direct flights from Amsterdam, Skellefteå and Swedish Lapland are opened up to a new large international market, which has positive effects for the tourism industry in Norr- and Västerbotten. The fact that we can also offer private individuals or companies to use the route for direct flights to Amsterdam-Schiphol is very important as our long-term goal is to have direct traffic to the major airport hubs in Europe, says Skellefteå Airport CEO Robert Lindberg.
- Significant investments are underway in Skellefteå, which places great demands on accessibility to the outside world. Through our collaboration with Voigt Travel, the flight route can also be used by private individuals or business travelers to both the city of Amsterdam and one of the world's largest airports, Amsterdam-Schiphol, which we hope is the start of a future regular flight connection, says Reseprodukten's CEO Jenny Andersson.
