Norwegian expands traffic between Stockholm Arlanda and Skellefteå

Norwegian will start direct flights between Stockholm Arlanda and Skellefteå on October 28th, with departures five days a week. Due to high demand, the number of departures will be increased until spring 2025.

Norwegian continues to develop its route network and in June the new route between Stockholm Arlanda and Skellefteå was launched, with a premiere at the end of October. Between 28 October 2024 and 29 April 2025, the route will operate five days a week; on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. From 30 April the number of departures will be increased to six days a week, every day except Saturdays. This means 6,000 more flight seats in the summer program compared to the winter program.

–We are pleased that our establishment between Stockholm and Skellefteå has received such a positive welcome and we look forward to contributing to increased accessibility to and from the Skellefteå region. The fact that we are increasing the number of departures to spring 2025 is due to the high demand and need for increased competition on the route between Skellefteå and Stockholm. We look forward to starting operations on the route at the end of October and welcoming passengers on board, says Magnus Thome Maursund, Chief Commercial Officer at Norwegian

–The Skellefteå region has grown significantly since the turn of the year and we have the country's lowest unemployment, which means that the need for good air communications is great. Skellefteå is today a driving force for the green transition and this development will continue.
Having access to good infrastructure with good accessibility to the outside world is therefore an important piece of the puzzle in the entire societal transformation. It is therefore very pleasing that we are already receiving news of increased air traffic with Norwegian, says Robert Lindberg, CEO of Skellefteå Airport

An exception to the expansion that starts on April 30 is that between weeks 25 and 33, the route will operate five days a week, every day except Wednesdays and Saturdays.
