Mar 08, 2021 (newstodate): Swedish battery developer and manufacturer, specialized in lithium-ion technology for electric vehicles, Northvolt AB is building a gigafactory for lithium-ion battery cells at Skellefteaa, in northern Sweden.
   Production is scheduled to commence by end of 2021 and will employ some 3,000 people.
   The large new business driving industrial development in the subarctic region of Sweden is expected to create new demands for connectivity.
   This is being targeted by the Swedish airport at Jonkoping, aiming at the provision of air cargo solutions.
   -We are working on a project to open up all-cargo traffic between Jonkoping and Skellefteaa, in Sweden's northern region, where forwarders, shippers and the local government work together with us to find ways of setting up and supporting a viable freighter service.
   -The demand is definitely strong in Skellefteaa and the region that today has no direct all-cargo capacity. The challenge remains to find a similar market for the southbound service to Jonkoping, to obtain a balanced operation, says Henrik Alverdal, Jonkoping Airport Marketing Manager.
