TUI Fly Nordic Launches New Charter Flights from Stockholm Skavsta to Gran Canaria
TUI fly Nordic has announced the launch of new charter flights connecting Stockholm Skavsta Airport (NYO) with Gran Canaria Airport (LPA). The service, which starts just in time for the winter travel season, is aimed at meeting the increasing demand for affordable holiday destinations from Sweden to the sunny shores of the Canary Islands.
Aircraft Type and Flight Details
The route will be operated by Boeing 737-800 aircraft, a mainstay of the TUI fly fleet known for its reliability and efficiency. The Boeing 737-800 has a seating capacity of around 189 passengers and offers a range well-suited for short to medium-haul flights, such as the approximately 4,000 km journey between Stockholm and Gran Canaria.
The new service is expected to attract both families and individual travelers looking for a quick escape to warmer climates during the harsh Scandinavian winter. With Gran Canaria being a year-round favorite for its pleasant weather and scenic landscapes, TUI fly Nordic’s new charter option provides a more affordable and convenient choice for Swedes seeking holiday packages.
Growing Demand for Holiday Travel
Gran Canaria, part of Spain’s Canary Islands, is known for its diverse landscapes ranging from beautiful beaches to mountainous interiors. Swedish travelers have consistently shown a strong interest in the Canary Islands as a holiday destination, particularly during the colder months.
TUI fly Nordic’s decision to introduce this new service reflects the rising demand for such travel routes, particularly as tourism rebounds post-pandemic. The charter flights from Stockholm Skavsta (NYO) will complement TUI’s already robust holiday offerings, providing a direct link to one of the most popular winter getaways in Southern Europe.
This new route also marks an important development for Stockholm Skavsta Airport (NYO), which has been gradually expanding its offerings to cater to both domestic and international travelers. By connecting directly to Gran Canaria, Skavsta positions itself as a key hub for budget-conscious travelers looking for direct routes to sunny holiday destinations.
With TUI fly Nordic now offering this convenient service, the airport expects to see a significant boost in passenger numbers during the winter season, contributing to the local economy and solidifying its reputation as a key gateway for Swedish travelers.
