As of 19 December 2021, Dutch company BBI Travel is relaunching its flights from Groningen Eelde Airport to Scandinavian Mountains Airport. The Dutch can return to SkiStar’s Scandinavian ski resorts on Thursday and Sunday every week, giving them a more efficient and faster journey.

Great Dane Airlines will operate the route in collaboration with Scandinavian Mountains Airport. The type of plane that will be used is the Embraer 195, with a capacity of 118 passengers.

Scandinavian Mountains Airport can already offer several attractive routes for mountain and ski enthusiasts from several Danish, British and now even Dutch cities, with Groningen Airport Eelde.
