New flight from Bristol to Stockholm
Scandinavian Airlines is launching a new route linking Bristol to Stockholm next summer.
SAS will operate flights twice a week (on Monday and Friday) from 30 June to 15 August 2014.
The schedule has been designed with long weekend leisure breaks in mind.
James Berresford, chief executive of VisitEngland, said: "This route not only gives Swedish visitors a great link to Bristol, it also provides convenient access to Bath, the Cotswolds and the rest of South West England.
"This fits with our focus on promoting regional airports as gateways to great English attractions outside London."
Philippa Sutton at Visit Sweden, said: "We are delighted SAS is launching a new route between Bristol and Stockholm. 2013 was a fantastic year for Stockholm with the opening of the Abba Museum in May, and the re-opening of the Vasa Museum in April, and we are expecting even more interest in the Swedish capital in 2014.
"Stockholm has a huge amount to offer tourists, whether you want to go shopping for cool Scandinavian design and fashion, take a boat out onto the beautiful archipelago of islands or get a taste of the Swedish food scene."
In August 2013, Bristol Airport recorded the busiest month in its history, handling over 700,000 passengers.
Planning permission is in place to develop and enhance facilities to handle 10 million passengers per annum and development commenced on the first of more than 30 separate component projects – the construction of three new aircraft stands – in November 2011.
