Since the beginning of the year, the airline Norwegian has flown the route Arlanda – Skellefteå – Arlanda twice a week. During the high summer, a break was planned, but due to increased demand, Norwegian will now operate the route throughout the summer. This means a significant increase in capacity in the number of seats to and from Skellefteå.

Norwegian has flown the route between Skellefteå and Stockholm-Arlanda since November 2024, and since the turn of the year the route has been operated with two departures per week.
Now Norwegian is choosing to extend its flight schedule with peak summer traffic during the period June 12 to August 16, and then the route will continue throughout the autumn.
The decision means that 720 airline seats will be added per week during the peak summer period, which is very pleasing for the region's residents, businesses and tourism.

– We are noticing an increased interest in traveling to and from Skellefteå and it is therefore pleasing to be able to offer flights even during the peak summer. Skellefteå is currently experiencing positive developments with increased business activity and with it comes an increased need for flights to and from Skellefteå. We are pleased to be able to continue to strengthen our presence in the region with competitive airfares in modern and fuel-efficient aircraft, says Charlotte Holmbergh, Country Director Corporate Affairs.

– This is very important and welcome news for the business community, residents and the tourism industry in Skellefteå as the need for flight capacity and accessibility to the outside world is increasing with the large establishments of Lyten and EdgeConnex. With this news we will have continuous air traffic with Norwegian, which is very pleasing and which we know is appreciated by travelers, says Robert Lindberg, CEO of Skellefteå Airport.

The number of departures may be increased further depending on developments.
