Bromma, Stockholm’s downtown airport just 5 miles from the city centre, is to be linked from 22 May by Flybe Nordic to Oslo with up to 22 flights per week.
This moves Flybe one step closer to realising its ambitions to becoming the largest regional airline in the Scandinavian and Nordic region, linking all key business cities. It was in August 2011 that the British airline was able to confirm the arrangement with Finnair to invest in Finncomm, a local regional carrier. Flybe is now the largest international airline flying from the airport, threatened with closure in the 1980s with the expansion of Arlanda, 25 miles outside the city.
Currently Flybe Nordic flies from Bromma to Copenhagen (Denmark), Tallinn (Estonia) and Oulu and Vaasa in Norway. The airline operates 15 ATR aircraft and a pair of Embraer 170s. The biggest operator at Bromma is Malmo Aviation. www.flybe.com
