SAS is expanding traffic to and from Skellefte\u00e5 Airport with more seats and larger aircraft. The initiative will start on October 25 in connection with the winter program 2026\/2027 and will represent a significant increase in capacity compared to the previous winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a period of high occupancy on flights to and from Skellefte\u00e5, SAS has chosen to increase capacity. Several departures previously operated with smaller turboprop aircraft will be operated with larger Airbus A320s and Embraer 195s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Skellefte\u00e5 Airport, the investment is driven by a growing need for air connections, partly as a result of new and ongoing industrial establishments and expected regional growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The airport says passenger traffic is now approaching pre-coronavirus levels. Northvolt's bankruptcy led to a temporary decline in travel, but the trend is said to have turned around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 We see increased interest in travel to and from Skellefte\u00e5 and are pleased to be able to strengthen our offering in the region. Good accessibility and strong connections are important for both people and businesses, says Henrik Winell, Vice President Network at SAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the winter program 2026\/2027, SAS will use Embraer 195 on certain flights to and from Skellefte\u00e5, among other things. The Airbus A320 will also replace smaller turboprop aircraft on several flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Skellefte\u00e5 Airport and SAS have been in discussions for some time about the need for greater capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 During the past year, flights to and from Skellefte\u00e5 have had a high occupancy rate, and we have therefore had an active dialogue with SAS about the need for increased capacity. I am very pleased with today's announcement, which means more airline seats and better accessibility for the entire Skellefte\u00e5 region, says Robert Lindberg, CEO of Skellefte\u00e5 Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The extended winter service starts on October 25th<\/p>\n\n\n\n
