Scandinavian Airlines launching new route to Stockholm from Birmingham Airport
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has announced it will launch twice weekly flights to the Swedish capital, Stockholm, from Birmingham Airport from March 30 next year.
No other airline currently operates on the route, and Scandinavian will run services on Fridays and Sundays.
Friday’s flights will arrive into Birmingham at 8am and depart for Stockholm at 8.40am and Sunday’s will arrive at 9.35am and depart for Stockholm at 10.15am.
The SAS route will be served by Boeing 737 aircraft with a 120 seat capacity.
William Pearson, Birmingham Airport’s aviation director, said: “SAS is a long standing airline at Birmingham Airport and it’s great to see an expansion of its services to include a new route of Stockholm added to its existing route of Copenhagen.
“The Swedish capital offers something for everyone as a vibrant and cultural Nordic hub with beautiful architecture. The city stretches across fourteen islands meaning there is stunning scenery. It also offers great nightlife and restaurants and local warmth and hospitality.”
Niko Ek, regional sales manager for Scandinavian Airlines, said: “We are glad to soon be starting our new route from Birmingham, where we have seen a growing demand from our passengers, both traveling for pleasure and business.”
Fares will start from £82 one way including taxes and charges.
