May 01, 2019 (newstodate): The decision by the Swedish domestic carrier BRA to stop services on several routes is bad news for Jonkoping Airport.
BRA is thus to suspend flights between Jonkoping and Stockholm from mid-June 2019.
The BRA route to Stockholm is today the airport's only scheduled, year-round service, while all other passenger flights are in the charter market only.
The BRA service was introduced only by the end of May 2018 with two daily flights, filling the void after the demise on May 16, 2018 of the earlier operator on the route, NextJet.
On the cargo side, volumes handled at the airport during Q1, 2019, also do not so far bode overly well for this year's situation with a 10 percent decrease, y-o-y, affected by the current low-turn in the global trade which has a direct bearing on the airport's InNight traffic by time:matters and DAN'X that has been booming till now.
Apart from the international cargo, Jonkoping Airport was earlier thriving on domestic postal flights, but PostNord decided to close down a number of postal flights into Stockholm Arlanda from Vaxjo, Jonkoping and Umeaa by April 1, 2018.
