The Göteborg-based City Airline, which operates direct flights from Göteborg’s Landvetter airport to 12 cities in Europe, announces an attractive direct summer route between Göteborg and Visby.
The route opens on 11 June and City Airline will fly to Visby on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays until August.
City Airline has flown the attractive route Göteborg-Visby for several years during the summer, and will do so again this year. City Airline’s jet aircraft will fly the route, and the journey time is less than an hour.
“There is considerable interest in the route from both families with children and other holiday-makers who have Visby and Gotland as their destination. Gotland is a marvellous place for a holiday during the summer, and we are expecting heavy demand this year, now that the trend is that Swedish tourists are tending to take their holidays in Sweden”, says Jimmie Bergqvist, managing director at City Airline.
City Airline has targeted the market for leisure travel during the last year. A route to Nice has been opened this spring, and the flights are already heavily booked for the coming period. The opening of the route to Visby is an important part of the City Airline’s continued endeavour to become a major player in the market for leisure travel.
“We have focussed intensely for many years on direct flights from Göteborg, and flown business travellers to destinations both in Sweden and Europe. We shall continue to develop these routes, and we will convince those who live in Göteborg to travel with us also when they are going on holiday. Our strengths are that we fly directly to our destinations from Göteborg, and that we do it using our flexible jet aircraft”, continues Jimmie Bergqvist.
