Joakim Lindholm, Operational Manager at Skavsta Airport, says that there has only been a single departure with the company during the past week. Other traffic has also decreased drastically.

Wizz air continues to fly from Skavsta, but the number of departures is few. During the next week there will be between four and five flights.

- They still fly to Budapest and Bucharest, but not many people are flying now either. And everything can change at short notice, says Joakim Lindholm.
