The number of passengers traveling to or from Skellefteå Airport has recovered quickly after the corona pandemic. Traffic statistics for August 2022 show a growth in the number of domestic travelers of +16.7 percent compared to the same month in 2019.
In August 2022, 22,005 domestic passengers flew to or from Skellefteå Airport, which is an increase of 3,152 passengers or 16.7 percent compared to the same month in 2019. This means that Skellefteå Airport has had more domestic travelers since April than in 2019.
- Skellefteå's growth is obviously the biggest factor in our rapid recovery, but the statistics are also a testament to Skellefteå Airport's importance for passenger transport to and from the region, says the airport's CEO Robert Lindberg.
Compared to 2019, there are more operators and more destinations. SAS continues to fly daily to and from Stockholm-Arlanda, but both the airlines BRA and Ryanair have also established themselves at the airport, and in August a new flight route to Kokkola-Jakobstad in Finland started.
- There is great interest in Skellefteå and due to regional growth, the need for good air communications is increasing.
We are actively working to develop the airport for the future with a wider range of departures and destinations, says Robert Lindberg
