In July, the airline Eurowings announced that they are investing in direct flights between Stuttgart and Kiruna for the winter season 2021/2022. Last Saturday was the premiere of the new route, which is of great importance for growth in the region and the tourism industry. 

– We welcome Eurowings and are of course very happy about a new international flight route. Eurowings establishing itself at Kiruna Airport is clear proof of Kiruna and the region's strong position. Offering our travelers increased accessibility through direct flights is very positive for the region and the tourism industry. The new direct route to Stuttgart is an important addition to our offering and offers travelers who want to visit northern Sweden a smooth and safe journey, which will attract more visitors to the region. It will also be appreciated by the local business community and residents in the region who can fly directly from Kiruna to Germany, says Andreas Fredriksson, airport manager at Kiruna Airport.
