According to Peter Salomonsson, CEO of Kiruna Lappland, the initiative increases accessibility for residents and visitors to Kiruna, and also provides smoother connections for those in Gällivare and Pajala to Europe and beyond. " SAS is expanding the number of departures from Copenhagen to Kiruna from two to three per week during the high season from December 17 to March 7. The expansion aims to meet the growing international interest in Scandinavian winter destinations.
Aftonbladet reports that there is growing international interest in Swedish Lapland. The plane will stay overnight in Kiruna due to the night stop, according to Aftonbladet. Robert Wetterborn, a Kiruna resident, said, "I will definitely use it.
The initiative means that residents and those who want to visit Kiruna get increased accessibility, but also those who live in Gällivare and Pajala get smoother connections to Europe and further out into the world.
" It remains unknown whether the flight initiative can compensate for the reduced train connections with halved night trains to Upper Norrland. The exact impact on travel patterns and regional accessibility has not been determined. SAS's new schedule is set to begin on October 25.
I will definitely use it. Good that you can get away quickly and don't have to stay away long.
