Sweden’s second largest airline – BRA (Braathens Regional Airlines) – unveiled new service to Aarhus from it’s Stockholm Bromma Aiport hub, beginning on 7th November.  The fast-growing Swedish airline first opened service to Aarhus in 2021 and will now begin linking the Greater Aarhus area with Stockholm’s downtown airport by direct daily flight, Monday to Friday.  Flights are particularly well timed for business travellers from the Swedish capital, departing Stockholm at 08:45 each morning and be operated by the carrier’s extremely fuel efficient 70-seat ATR72-600 turboprop aircraft with a flight time of just one and a half hours.

This was echoed from the Danish side.  “We know BRA, we love working with BRA and the airline’s customers love to fly with them – it is fast, super friendly, they are hugely professional and an impressively customer engaged operation, so comfortable, convenient and very affordable”, said Aarhus Airport’s David Surley.   “Stockholm has been the largest indirect traffic market since the pandemic period, we have been watching demand and can see traffic numbers between the cities have been fast-developing. It makes extraordinary sense for BRA to seize this opportunity given the extreme convenience of their Bromma Airport hub to the very heart of Stockholm city, it is so central, so very ideal for both business and leisure customers alike.  It’s a great airport and a top-level airline”.

BRA is by far the largest airline operator at Bromma Airport in Stockholm and the airline’s new Aarhus service will connect smoothly with onward BRA connections from and to Gothenburg, Umeå, Malmø, Angelholm/Helsingborg, Visby and Ronneby among other Swedish destinations.  BRA will additionally be commencing Airbus type jet operations at Aarhus during Summer 2023, with new flights to and from Palma de Mallorca for Danish tour operator Spies, after a multi-year agreement was entered into between the holiday operator and BRA to operate Mediterranean charter flights.  “We are excited to welcome all sizes of BRA aircraft in the future”, said Surley, “we are thrilled to be on the radar of both Spies and BRA as part of their new Nordic-wide co-operation and we hope to see many more such charter flights by our friends at BRA to a number of sunshine destinations in the future”.
