Arlanda, yesterday [7 pics]

Friends,

Here are some photos I took yesterday at Stockholm-Arlanda. Nothing special, just to show you the normal goings of a summer Friday…

Thai’s 747 arrives from Bangkok early in the morning and leaves in the afternoon. Shortly before departure, it is towed to the gate for boarding and loading.

How’s the traffic at Bromma?

As far as I know, the traffic at Stockholm-Bromma is increasing and last year they had some 1,2 million pax. Main operator is Malmรถ Aviation with Skyways, Golden Air and some other regional airlines following. SAS returned to Bromma last year for the first time since 1969, to re-open their Copenhagen route which moved to Arlanda in 1962. Back then it was operated by CV440 and Caravelle, now a Q400 does the same job.

Brilliant pictures, especially the Thai ones. I wonder how successful Flyme are, after the failure of Goodjet?

FlyMe are quite successful considering the competition from SAS, Nordic Airlink, Malmรถ Aviation, Skyways, Swedline and some other smaller operators in Sweden. They are still posting losses, as calculated, but have recently signed an agreement with Falcon Air to lease 737 capacity during traffic peaks. The Swedish state also chose FlyMe over SAS as their first choice for domestic travel from Stockholm to Gothenburg and Malmรถ recently, a contract worth some โ‚ฌ40 million.

I’ve never flown them but friends who have claim they are serious with what they do, the service is good and crews are friendly. Since I am employed by a large Scandinavian Airline I may be biased but at least FlyMe is a competitor I respect and wish the best of luck because they haven’t resorted to name-calling, insults and other low tricks to get attention…

Thanks for the praises, everyone! I am surprised over the quality of the photos myself!
