The Hungarian airline Wizz Air planned to open a direct route between Skellefte\u00e5 and the Polish city of Gdansk as early as the summer of 2020, but due to the corona pandemic, the start of the flight was postponed.
\nNow the good news has come that the flight will start on March 29, 2022 and will operate year-round, providing increased accessibility for private individuals and businesses.<\/p>\n
\u2013 We are pleased that Wizz Air has chosen Skellefte\u00e5 and this is very positive news for both residents and the business community. The route provides increased accessibility and creates new opportunities for our communication with the outside world, which is important for our growth and development, says Skellefte\u00e5 Airport CEO Robert Lindberg.<\/p>\n
The establishment in Skellefte\u00e5 is Wizz Air's only flight route in northern Sweden and involves two departures per week, Tuesdays and Saturdays, to and from the Polish city.<\/p>\n
\u2013 This is further proof of the attractiveness of Skellefte\u00e5. In addition to new opportunities for tourist and business travel for our region, the establishment means that Polish individuals and companies can easily get to Skellefte\u00e5, says Skellefte\u00e5 Municipality's municipal councilor Lorents Burman.<\/p>\n
Cecilia Petz\u00e4ll, Travel Trade Manager at the Swedish Lapland Visitors Board, also has a positive view of the new line between Skellefte\u00e5 and Gdansk. \u2013 Yes, we obviously think it is gratifying that Skellefte\u00e5 is getting a new direct line from Europe. The fact that it is also operated year-round is very good for the tourism industry.
\nFrom Skellefte\u00e5 Airport, travelers can easily travel to all of Swedish Lapland, so the airport's development is good for our entire Arctic destination, she says.<\/p>\n
Gdansk is one of Poland's largest and oldest cities and a popular tourist destination with its rich history and beautiful architecture. It offers a wide cultural life, an impressive selection of restaurants, various shopping centers and several nice beaches thanks to its proximity to the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n
\u2013 There is something for everyone in Gdansk. And thanks to the frequent traffic to and from Skellefte\u00e5 and the fact that Lech Walesa is an international airport, there are also opportunities to easily travel on to other destinations, says Robert Lindberg.<\/p>\n
Traffic starts on Tuesday, March 29, 2022.<\/p>\n
The flight operates on Tuesdays and Saturdays all year round. Flight tickets can be booked at www.wizzair.com<\/p>\n
