Air traffic to and from Gällivare is secured for the coming winter. The Swedish Transport Administration and the flight operator Nordic Aviation Group have signed an agreement for a different aircraft type that meets the new international friction requirements.

The solution was to replace the current jet aircraft operating on the Arlanda–Gällivare route via Arvidsjaur with a turboprop aircraft that meets the new regulations.

This means that the flight time will be longer and that you will have fewer seats per flight, but according to a press release from the Swedish Transport Administration, this will be compensated by more trips per week.
