The new direct connection between Stavanger and Esbjerg is now in the air. The first flight operated on Monday, 5 October, connecting two important North Sea business regions with direct flights twice a week.
The first arrival was welcomed with a water salute at Stavanger Airport. The connection has been built around recognised travel demand from companies operating between the two regions.
“We are very happy to see this connection live. Companies on both sides have been asking for it, and now these important North Sea regions are directly connected again,” says Roope Kekäläinen, Founder and CEO of LYGG.
