Stockholm: Swedish regional airline BRA and Scandinavian airline SAS on Monday announced a deal that would move nearly all flights from Stockholm's Bromma airport to the larger Arlanda airport, putting the future of the city's second airport in doubt.
As of January 1, BRA will operate flights on behalf of SAS with Stockholm's principal airport Arlanda as a hub, the two airlines announced in separate press releases.
As a result, around 90 percent of air traffic will disappear from Bromma airport, according to the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce.
"I don't think the airport will survive without us," Per G. Braathen, president of the BRA told a press conference.
"We have been present at Bromma for 25 years and it is not profitable to run this airport. We need to concentrate on Arlanda," he added.
