Skellefte\u00e5 Airport increased the number of passengers during January by <\/strong><strong>9,610 travelers, which corresponds to 47 percent. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Skellefte\u00e5 Airport will break several records. Never before has the airport had so many departures, so many airlines or so many destinations. In addition, the passenger record from 2017 will probably be broken.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Good air communications are extremely important for our region&#039;s growth and development. The development we have had has meant new opportunities for us to travel around the world or for the outside world to come to Skellefte\u00e5 and Swedish Lapland, says Robert Lindberg, CEO of Skellefte\u00e5 Airport.<\/p>\n<p>2018 will be marked by major renovations and investments. Plans include an expansion of the runway and a rebuilt airport terminal.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 We have expanded the parking areas, but we could not predict the fantastic increase and are now bringing forward certain investments. The extension of the runway is planned for this summer, but we have already begun planning work for an expanded terminal that will be able to handle future passenger volumes and traffic to several different destinations, says Robert Lindberg.<\/p>\n<p>Skellefte\u00e5 Airport has the following decided destinations in 2018-2019:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Destination<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Type<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Airline<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Stockholm<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Domestic regular<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>SAS<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Stockholm<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Domestic regular<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Norwegian<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Malaga<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Foreign regular<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>SAS<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Netherlands<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Incoming charter<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Voigt<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Zakynthos<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Charter<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Apollo<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Rhodes<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Charter<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Apollo<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Rhodes<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Charter<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Detour<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Crete<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Charter<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Detour<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Gran Canaria<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Charter<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>TUI<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Majorca<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Charter<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>TUI<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>The Ghost (2019)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Charter<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>TUI<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Krabi (2019)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Charter<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>TUI<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Majorca<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Charter<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Wing<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p><strong>Innsbruck<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Charter<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"188\">\n<p>Northlander<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Statistics January 2018:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"157\">\n<p><strong>Statistics<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"126\">\n<p>2018<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"132\">\n<p>2017<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"150\">\n<p>+\/-<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"157\">\n<p><strong>January domestic<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"126\">\n<p>28 536<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"132\">\n<p>18 979<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"150\">\n<p>+50%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"157\">\n<p><strong>January abroad<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"126\">\n<p>1 491<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"132\">\n<p>1 438<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"150\">\n<p>+4%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"157\">\n<p><strong>January total<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"126\">\n<p><strong>30 027<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"132\">\n<p><strong>20 417<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"150\">\n<p><strong>+47%<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2017 \u00f6kade passagerarna p\u00e5 Skellefte\u00e5 Airport med 50 procent.
