Swedish postal flights returning to Jonkoping Airport after a 10 years hiatus

Published: 11-01-2022 Swedish postal flights returning to Jonkoping Airport after a 10 years hiatus

Jan 11, 2022 (newstodate): The new year brings good tidings for Sweden's Jonkoping Airport: Postnord Sweden is returning!
   Starting from January 31, 2022, Postnord Sweden will launch a nightly flight on weekdays between Stockholm Arlanda and Jonkoping Airport, operated by the Swiss carrier Zimex that is already operating flights on other Swedish routes for the postal company with ATR aircraft.
   Until 2012, Jonkoping Airport thrived with Swedish postal volumes accounting for more than half of its cargo volumes - but from July 1, 2012, Post Sweden shifted from air to rail as part of its postal logistics.
   This put an end to using Jonkoping Airport as a "mini-hub" since 2007 with five weekly night operations between Jonkoping Airport and Gothenburg, Malmo, Sundsvall, Umeaa and Arlanda by Amapola and West Atlantic.
   Today, Jonkoping Airport's cargo business is built on FedEx, Time:Matters and DANX connecting the airport with Brussels, Karlsruhe, Oslo, Billund and Helsinki.
