Key Points
  • SAS has reinstated daily summer flights between Ronneby and Stockholm after previously planning to cancel them.
  • Region Blekinge worked with Ronneby Airport and local businesses to secure the summer traffic following SAS's initial cancellation announcement.
  • The reversal came after SAS resolved staffing issues that had initially prevented them from operating the summer flights.

Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has reversed its decision to cancel summer flights between Ronneby and Stockholm, according to reports from Region Blekinge. The airline will now operate daily flights during the peak summer season after previously planning a summer suspension.

Region Blekinge, in collaboration with Ronneby Airport and local businesses, had been working throughout the spring to secure summer traffic on the route following SAS's announcement of plans to suspend the flight line. Just a week and a half ago, it appeared uncertain whether a solution would be found, but on March 20, 2026, the announcement came that SAS had changed its plans.

We have had a dialogue for a long time. It is very gratifying.

Mona Glans, development director at Region Blekinge, expressed satisfaction with the outcome, telling SVT: "We have had a dialogue for a long time. It is very gratifying." She explained that SAS had initially faced staffing shortages but had worked intensively in recent weeks to resolve the issue, which has now opened up for summer flights.

The decision comes as a relief to Blekinge residents who want to fly to Stockholm, after receiving disappointing news about summer flight cancellations a month earlier.
