Skiing in the Scandinavian mountains gets even closer for the upcoming winter season as SAS launches their route from London Heathrow to Scandinavian Mountains Airport on December 26th. Today SAS has announced a new flight from London Heathrow to Scandinavian Mountains Airport.
Scandinavian Mountains Airport is the first in the world with a remote tower (RTC) which is in use already from the opening and will be the first new airport in Europe that is fully approved according to the EASA regulations. The new international airport, Scandinavian Mountains Airport (SCR), is located just 10 minutes from the skiing in Hundfjället, 15 minutes from Tandådalen, 20-25 minutes from Högfjället and Lindvallen and 40 minutes from Trysilfjellet.
The runway is 2,500 metres long and 50 metres wide and can accommodate most aircraft. Both international and domestic routes will operate to and from the airport. The 9,500 m2 terminal building has the capacity to handle four arrivals at once. The building houses a restaurant, a duty-free boutique and a shop.
Transfers are timed to connect with each flight. The trip from the airport to Hundfjället/Tandådalen is only 10 minutes by transfer bus, while Högfjället takes 20 minutes and Sälfjällstorget/Lindvallen 25 minutes. The journey to Trysil and Fageråsen takes about 40 minutes.
