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 flights proved to be a great success and therefore BRA has decided to fly the direct route to and from Gothenburg also during the Christmas and New Year holidays.

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

• We are incredibly happy and grateful for the positive reception we have received in Skellefteå since our establishment last summer. The number of customers who booked tickets for the direct route to Gothenburg exceeded our expectations. Therefore, it was obvious for us to fly to and from Gothenburg also during the upcoming long 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 flights per week to and from Stockholm-Bromma, a route that the company plans to continue and extend during the winter and spring.

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

• BRA's scheduled service 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 travel and domestic tourism, says Robert Lindberg, CEO of Skellefteå Airport.
