Voigt Travel will operate weekly during the period<br \/>\nJanuary 30 \u2013 March 13 to fly winter-hungry tourists to Skellefte\u00e5 and tourist attractions in Swedish Lapland. In addition, trips from Skellefte\u00e5 will be possible through a collaboration between Voigt Travel and the local travel agency Reseproducenten.<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Voigt Travel has previously operated a number of flights from the Netherlands to Skellefte\u00e5 during the summer period, which have proven to be very successful.<br \/>\nNow the company is choosing to also establish a winter series to Skellefte\u00e5 and experiences in Swedish Lapland.<br \/>\nVoigt Travel has also intensified its cooperation with the airline Transavia, which will operate the flights during the winter season 2021\/2022. The existing range of destinations that have already been served directly in recent years are Kuusamo, Kittil\u00e4, Ivalo and Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland and Akureyri in northern Iceland.<br \/>\nNow this is being expanded with the new winter destination Skellefte\u00e5 in Swedish Lapland. During the period January 30 \u2013 March 13, 2022, a total of up to 1,000 guests will arrive in Skellefte\u00e5 and Swedish Lapland, which in turn could mean up to 7,000 new guest nights in tourism and the hotel industry in Norr and V\u00e4sterbotten.<\/p>\n<p>Through a unique collaboration between Voigt Travel and the local travel agency Reseprodukten, it will also be possible to use the flight route for package tours to Amsterdam or for, for example, the business community&#039;s need for direct flights.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 I am very proud of the addition of this new direct flight connection to our original winter offer. Swedish Lapland has everything it takes to create an optimal winter experience. In addition, this authentic destination fits extremely well with the traveler&#039;s current need for freedom and nature. The demand for special winter trips is increasing and with the direct flight connection from Amsterdam to Skellefte\u00e5 we can meet the traveler&#039;s wishes and make Swedish Lapland accessible to our customers. With the intensification of our cooperation with Transavia, we have good capacity for the winter season 2021\/2022 and we are confident that our nineteenth winter season with direct flights to northern Europe will be a success, says Marloes Meijer, CEO of Voigt Travel.<\/p>\n<p>-This is fantastic news. Through direct flights from Amsterdam, Skellefte\u00e5 and Swedish Lapland are opened up to a new large international market, which has positive effects for the tourism industry in Norr- and V\u00e4sterbotten. The fact that we can also offer private individuals or companies to use the route for direct flights to Amsterdam-Schiphol is very important as our long-term goal is to have direct traffic to the major airport hubs in Europe, says Skellefte\u00e5 Airport CEO Robert Lindberg.<\/p>\n<p>- Significant investments are underway in Skellefte\u00e5, which places great demands on accessibility to the outside world. Through our collaboration with Voigt Travel, the flight route can also be used by private individuals or business travelers to both the city of Amsterdam and one of the world&#039;s largest airports, Amsterdam-Schiphol, which we hope is the start of a future regular flight connection, says Reseprodukten&#039;s CEO Jenny Andersson.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nFacts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Charter operator Voigt Travel<br \/>\nAirline Transavia<br \/>\nRoute Amsterdam Schiphol AMS \u2013 Skellefte\u00e5 Airport SFT<br \/>\nAircraft<br \/>\nChairs 189<br \/>\nDate January 30, 2022 \u2013 March 13, 2022<\/p>\n<p>Trips from Skellefte\u00e5 can be booked via Reseprodukten Skellefte\u00e5<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Robert Lindberg Marc Koenis<br \/>\nCEO Skellefte\u00e5 Airport Business development manager<br \/>\n+46 70 551 70 75\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 +31 35 699 02 33<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:robert.lindberg@sft.se\">robert.lindberg@sft.se<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:marc@voigt-travel.nl\">marc@voigt-travel.nl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Marloes Meijer Jenny Andersson<br \/>\nCEO Voigt Travel CEO Travel producer<br \/>\n+31 (0)35 69 90\u00a0312<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:marloes@voigt-travel.nl\">marloes@voigt-travel.nl<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:jenny@reseproducenten.com\">jenny@reseproducenten.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Den nederl\u00e4ndska charteroperat\u00f6ren Voigt Travel har beslutat att ut\u00f6ka sina charterresor med direktflyg fr\u00e5n Amsterdam Schiphol till Skellefte\u00e5 Airport vinters\u00e4songen 2022.
