Apr 21, 2016 (newstodate): The annual Elitloppet horse race at Solvalla, Sweden, in May 2016 involves air transport of race horses to the event.
Sweden's Norrkoping Airport has been selected as the airport to handle the incoming freighter flight from the USA, arriving on May 27, 2016.
Earlier, the destination was Gothenburg Airport, but eventually Norrkoping was picked for being closer to the racing course.
Norrkoping Airport has long been a preferred airport for handling of horses, serving Icelandair Cargo freighter flights carrying loads of Icelandic horses for the European markets benefiting from its BIP status obtained in 2007.
