Risk of travel shortages during peak summer season

Sälenfjällen launches the destination site "Sälenfjällen summer & autumn"

Sälenfjällen, northern Europe's largest mountain destination, is often associated with winter and skiing. However, the trend towards year-round activities is progressing rapidly and more and more people are investing considerable resources in the bare ground season, which lasts well into the autumn. Destination Sälenfjällen has summarised what is open and now presents the entire range on its own campaign page at sommar.salen.se.

Norwegian buys 50 Boeing 737 MAX 8

Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA has reached an agreement in principle with Boeing to purchase 50 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. The agreement also includes options for an additional 30 aircraft. The 50 aircraft will be delivered between 2025 and 2028, coinciding with the expiry of the current lease periods for the aircraft and thus representing a limited expansion of the company's current fleet. The parties aim to sign the final agreement before the end of June 2022.

Three days of celebration in Lübeck

Lübeck invites you to a party in the streets of the old town on 10-12 June to celebrate art, culture and "lebensfreude". The occasion is the recurring 'Hanse Kulturfestiva', organised every two years since 2014 in Lübeck's less visited districts. This year, the festival is hosted by the culturally rich Domsviertel, where the charming district is transformed into a colourful bouquet of cultural experiences.

Reflection of the week

There's a lot of focus on Sweden now, and it's great that we Swedes are discovering our own fantastic country. But let's not forget that travelling outside of Sweden is also possible now. Greetings from glorious Germany!
