The total number of passengers increased by 19 percent compared to the same period in 2017. This means that Skellefte\u00e5 Airport has had uninterrupted passenger growth since November 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 We have been eagerly awaiting April&#039;s statistics because it is the first month we can compare passenger numbers on the same terms as the previous year with two airline operators on the route to and from Arlanda. It therefore feels extra good that we are showing strong figures even now in April 2018, says Robert Lindberg, CEO of Skellefte\u00e5 Airport.<\/p>\n<p>The first major passenger surge for the airport came in April 2017 when Norwegian began flying to Skellefte\u00e5. SAS had previously flown on the Skellefte\u00e5-Arlanda route, but with Norwegian&#039;s establishment, the number of departures increased from five to eight per day and the pricing structure also changed. The next major passenger surge came with the launch of free parking at Skellefte\u00e5 Airport in June 2017. Previously, free parking had been offered to charter passengers, but then the parking was opened up to all passengers.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 We have had a clear strategy for how we want to develop Skellefte\u00e5 Airport and are pleased to see that more and more passengers are choosing to fly to and from us. Now the charter season has started and we are already seeing that there is high pressure on the free parking. Hopefully we will see even more cars there when SAS&#039;s new direct flights to Malaga start in June and the first charter from Rotterdam lands, concludes Robert Lindberg.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Statistics<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>2018<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>2017<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>+\/-<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>April domestic<\/td>\n<td>34 705<\/td>\n<td>29 351<\/td>\n<td>+18%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>April abroad<\/td>\n<td>882<\/td>\n<td>600<\/td>\n<td>+47%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>April total<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>35 587<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>29 951<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>+19%<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Alas domestic<\/td>\n<td>127 786<\/td>\n<td>96 233<\/td>\n<td>+33%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Alas, foreign<\/td>\n<td>4 659<\/td>\n<td>4 521<\/td>\n<td>+3%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Alas, total<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>132 445<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>100 754 <\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>+31%<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Passagerarsiffrorna f\u00f6r april visar p\u00e5 en fortsatt \u00f6kning p\u00e5 Skellefte\u00e5 Airport.
