The American airline and SkyTeam member resumed service from Sweden to The Big Apple yesterday.
Delta Air Lines is once again taking off from Stockholm Arlanda Airport, marking the resumption of its daily, year-round service between the Swedish capital and New York. As the leading airline from Europe to New York-JFK, travelers from Stockholm can take advantage of same-day connections via JFK to more than 40 cities across the United States, making it easier to reconnect with friends, family and colleagues.
– We are very pleased to welcome Delta Air Lines back to Sweden and Stockholm Arlanda. They have been missed and will once again be an important part of Arlanda's intercontinental offering. The USA is Sweden's largest trading partner and Stockholm's largest aviation market outside Europe. The increased accessibility that Delta's launch of flights means is important for both the tourism industry, the business community and air freight. There is a pent-up travel demand among Swedes and we look forward to welcoming more Americans to Sweden and Stockholm again, says Charlotte Ljunggren, Chief Commercial Officer at Swedavia.
– As the world's financial capital, the restart of the non-stop route from Stockholm to New York will make it easier for our countries to do business in markets where US government data was valued at $25.5 billion before the pandemic, says Nicolas Ferri, vice president, Europe, Middle East, Africa and India at Delta. We look forward to continuing the success of today's flights over the summer as Americans seek new experiences in Europe and many Swedes visit the United States for the first time in more than two years.
According to data from Statista, more than 450,000 Swedes visited the United States in 2019, while the United States is the largest non-European market for tourism in Sweden.
