The flights will go to the popular Krabi and Phuket. The flights will be operated with TUI&#039;s modern and fuel-efficient Dreamliner aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the current pandemic, large parts of the trips have been canceled. As vaccinations around the world progress, travel companies are seeing increased interest in trips from the coming autumn and winter. In particular, there is an increased demand for charter trips to warmer destinations. Due to this, the charter operator TUI has now decided to offer trips to Phuket and Krabi with direct flights from Skellefte\u00e5 Airport from February 27, 2022. The Skellefte\u00e5 region is developing very strongly with large establishments. Due to the large growth, the need for good communications to and from the outside world is also increasing, both in terms of business trips and trips for charter and recreation. Skellefte\u00e5 also has a good geographical location for charter trips with a central location between the cities of Ume\u00e5, Pite\u00e5 and Lule\u00e5.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 We are very pleased that TUI is continuing with charter flights to Thailand. Skellefte\u00e5&#039;s development and geographical location create opportunities for an attractive charter offer. Our work for a green transition also means that we will be able to offer the option of fossil-free aviation fuel, says Skellefte\u00e5 Airport&#039;s CEO Robert Lindberg.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 We are pleased to be able to present direct flights to our beloved Thailand from Skellefte\u00e5 Airport. For us, it is important to be able to offer direct flights to our best destinations from all over the country. The trips to Thailand for next winter have been incredibly popular from other airports around the country and some departures are already selling out. We hope that the people of Skellefte\u00e5 will appreciate our initiative and are ready to book trips for next winter. Our hope is to continue investing in the region with increased departures in the future, says Adam Gy\u00f6rki, Head of Communications at TUI.<\/p>\n<p>Facts<\/p>\n<p>TUI will fly Skellefte\u00e5 \u2013 Krabi on February 27, 2022 TUI will fly Skellefte\u00e5 \u2013 Phuket on March 14, 2022 The flights are operated with Boeing 787 Dreamliners with space for 300 passengers TUI will also fly Skellefte\u00e5 \u2013 Gran Canaria during the period October 19, 2021 \u2013 March 29, 2022<\/p>\n<p>For more information:<\/p>\n<p>Robert Lindberg CEO Skellefte\u00e5 Airport +46 70 551 70 75 robert.lindberg@sft.se<\/p>\n<p>Skellefte\u00e5 Airport is V\u00e4sterbotten&#039;s second largest airport with a strategic location between Lule\u00e5 and Ume\u00e5.
