This is the first time SAS has started a regular international route from northern Sweden and Robert Lindberg, CEO of Skellefte\u00e5 Airport, is pleased:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Fantastic news for Skellefte\u00e5 and the region! SAS&#039;s establishment means new opportunities for regional development, not least for the growing tourism industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 SAS&#039;s choice to add a new regular route to Skellefte\u00e5 clearly signals how Skellefte\u00e5 is becoming increasingly interesting for establishments of all kinds. This of course means new opportunities for tourist and business travel for our region, but just as interesting is that Spanish individuals and companies can now easily get to Skellefte\u00e5, V\u00e4sterbotten and Swedish Lapland, states Lorents Burman, municipal councilor in Skellefte\u00e5.<\/p>\n<p>The route will initially operate one day a week, and during the holiday period in July it will operate twice a week. In a first step, SAS will offer departures every week until November, after which an extension may be considered.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 We continue to adapt our destinations to our customers&#039; wishes, and see that more and more people want to travel with us in their free time, not least in the summer. This year we will continue to focus on Spain, where the number of travelers to Malaga is only increasing, and we are now pleased to open a direct route there from Skellefte\u00e5 as well, says Anders Wahlstr\u00f6m, Sales Manager, SAS Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>The Malaga metropolitan area is home to about 1 million people. Malaga Airport, Costa del Sol, is the largest in Andalusia and is very important for tourism in the region, but also for Malaga&#039;s business life. Regular direct routes to international destinations are an important part of the infrastructure for residents and visitors. Robert Lindberg, CEO of Skellefte\u00e5 Airport, is clear about the importance of the new route for the region:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 SAS&#039;s establishment of a new regular route to Europe creates new conditions for our region&#039;s accessibility. The development we have had and Skellefte\u00e5&#039;s optimal geographical location create favorable conditions for new routes. Skellefte\u00e5&#039;s location in the middle of the Norrland coast means that the catchment area for the new route will be the whole of northern Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>Robert believes that the fact that Skellefte\u00e5 Airport also offers free parking to all passengers further strengthens the airport&#039;s ability to attract passengers outside the municipal borders.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Facts about the new flight route<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SAS will fly a brand new A320neo with 180 seats on the route.<\/li>\n<li>Flight time is 4 hours 45 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Flights start June 16, 2018.
