From June 1st, all travelers traveling from Skellefte\u00e5 Airport will be able to park for free. The offer applies to the current free charter parking, which will now be open for travelers. Free parking is a part of Skellefte\u00e5 Airport's strategy to make it more attractive to fly to and from Skellefte\u00e5 and thus contribute to the region's growth in the long run.<\/b><\/p>\n
Skellefte\u00e5 Airport has since 2009 grown with 75,000 travelers and there is potential for further growth. As both SAS and Norwegian, from March 26th, operate the route between Skellefte\u00e5 and Stockholm-Arlanda, and that in 2017 there are about 100 charter flights from Skellefte\u00e5 Airport, the airport will hit new passenger records. Already in January, the number of passengers increased by 14 percent compared with January 2016.<\/p>\n
-We have been working towards increasing the supply at Skellefte\u00e5 Airport and now we are seeing the results. With the introduction of free parking, the hope is to attract even more passengers, thus creating a broad passenger base for all airlines at Skellefte\u00e5 Airport, "said Robert Lindberg, CEO of Skellefte\u00e5 Airport.<\/p>\n
\u00a0-We continue to improve and strengthen our offer to and from Skellefte\u00e5 and to make life easier for our travelers, and we are happy that there is now also free parking in connection with the airport," says Anders Wahlstr\u00f6m, Sales Manager, SAS Sweden.<\/p>\n
The development that is now taking place at Skellefte\u00e5 Airport is unprecedented in Swedish domestic flights. Norwegian's establishment between Skellefte\u00e5 and Stockholm Arlanda adds another 850 departures to SAS's 1,400 departures, providing new opportunities for travel to and from the region.<\/p>\n
\u00a0-To offer travelers free parking at Skellefte\u00e5 Airport is extremely generous and makes it easy for those who travel from the airport. With Norwegian's daily departures to Stockholm Arlanda, passengers in the region can easily travel further inside and outside Europe without having to think about the parking, says Norwegian's Head of Communications Charlotte Holmbergh Jacobsson.<\/p>\n
\u00a0-The hope is, of course, that passenger volume will increase so that all operators can survive. However, we have a threat in the proposed aviation tax, but by introducing the option of free parking, we relieve that effect, thus giving our airlines better survival opportunities, which is crucial for the growth of the Skellefte\u00e5 region, said Robert Lindberg, CEO, Skellefte\u00e5 Airport.
