In recent years, there has been an increased interest in Scandinavian mountain experiences, both summer and winter. The Netherlands are no exception.
– The Netherlands is an important market for us and showed increased interest prior to the Corona pandemic. The Dutch generally love snow and winter sports. With this route, combined with a simple and convenient journey to our ski resorts Sälen and Trysil, plus the offer of first-class, safe mountain experiences for the whole family, we hope and believe that even more Dutch people will want to spend their holiday with us, says Mathias Lindström, Commercial Director of SkiStar AB.
April 2020 for the possible implementation of the GPS system at the Andorra-La Seu airport
The EFA claims that the failure of the GPS makes an airport essential in the country
The principality of Andorra shares two similar items with San Marino. Both have two active heads of state and both are reliant on airports outside their borders.

Andorra’s location in the middle of the Pyrenees mountain range, is a magnet for skiers and mountain lovers alike. The key is to bring in those visitors.
When the idea of building an altiport – an aerodrome in mountainous terrain was discarded due to its difficulty, the alternative that was obvious for all was to turn to La Seu d’Urgell Airport, just across the border in Spain, into Andorra’s air gateway.
The airport is on a flat-top hill and has seen little action since regular flights to Barcelona were abandoned in the early 1980s. But this can change soon with a renovation program.
Local topography and runway length do not allow aircrafts bigger than the 27-meter ATR turboprop. Still this could be a good start for people busing into the resort.
Two separate airline start-ups – Andorra Airlines and Air Andorra have interest in this airport, but have not started to operate yet.
The most famous person to have landed in Andorra-La Seu d’Urgell Airport is Elton John, who landed here in 2015 on a way to a concert in Andorra.

Mora claims to “put on the table” negotiations with the EU to improve the rest of the infrastructure
The Andorran Family Business (EFA) demands that the new Government mark as a priority the construction of an airport in national territory. The request was made by the president of the entity, Francesc Mora, with reference to the latest announcement by Spanish Minister of Development, José Luis Ábalos, who has set at least for April 2020 umpteenth date for the possible implementation of the GPS system at the Andorra-La Seu airport. «In November, they told us that we would have GPS in May. Then he was postponed for the fall and now we have already spent the next year, “Mora recalled, then said that” Andorra as a country cannot be waiting for an agenda that does not control “but has to take “a sovereign decision”.
In this way, the EFA reiterated its support for the Chamber of Commerce and its president, Miquel Armengol, a defender of the need for an Andorran airport, who announced that, unlike of the urgency airport, the GPS navigation system would not present so many complications in Andorra, since “the approach system is not homologable in the Headquarters has nothing to do with what it is not possible to implement here.”
