The success continues – BRA launches direct flights between Skellefteå and Gothenburg during Christmas and New Year

During the summer, the airline BRA launched a direct route to Gothenburg and Stockholm Bromma from Skellefteå Airport. The routes turned out to be a great success and therefore BRA has decided to fly the direct route to and from Gothenburg even during the Christmas and New Year holidays.

The airline BRA established two routes from Skellefteå during the summer, to and from Gothenburg and Stockholm-Bromma. The routes became very popular and the traffic was increased.
Throughout the autumn, Stockholm-Bromma has been served with two trips every week on Thursdays and Sundays, which suits both weekly business travelers and weekend travelers.
Now the airline BRA has decided to expand operations in Skellefteå with direct traffic to and from Gothenburg during the Christmas and New Year holidays. In total, the route to Gothenburg will be operated with five round trips between 22 December and the last arrival on 7 January.

• We are incredibly happy and grateful for the positive reception we have received in Skellefteå since our establishment this summer. The number of customers who booked tickets for the direct line to Gothenburg then exceeded our expectations. Therefore, it was obvious for us to fly to and from Gothenburg also during the coming major weekends and thus be able to offer more people the opportunity to celebrate Christmas or New Year on the west coast or in Västerbotten, says BRA´’s Commercial Manager Martin Erkenborn.

BRA also flies two trips per week to and from Stockholm-Bromma, a route that the company plans to continue with and will also extend during the winter and spring.

• The development and growth in and around Skellefteå is unparalleled in Sweden.
  We at BRA of course want to contribute to that development by providing good connections and travel alternatives. Our Bromma line is developing well and more and more passengers are discovering the airport’s agility and proximity to Stockholm city, our ambition is that we are in Skellefteå to stay, Martin Erkenborn continues

• BRA’s scheduled traffic is an important step for our business community and our residents. Skellefteå’s accelerating development requires good communications and through an increased range of travel alternatives, good conditions are created for growth, development and establishment while creating opportunities for both private travelers and domestic tourism, says Robert Lindberg, CEO of Skellefteå Airport.
