Edelweiss is flying to Luleå in Swedish Lapland for the first time

Edelweiss celebrated its inaugural flight to Luleå in Swedish Lapland today, Friday, with a festive ceremony at Zurich Airport. During the traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony, Oliver Lenz, Senior Manager Network Planning & Development at Edelweiss, and Rolf Hancock, Vice President Aviation Development at Zurich Airport AG, together with the crew, cut the ribbon, officially launching the new flight connection.

With Luleå, Edelweiss is adding a destination in Sweden to its route network for the first time. The city lies approximately 100 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle and is considered the gateway to holidays in Swedish Lapland. Snow-covered expanses, Arctic winter landscapes, and the experience of the Northern Lights make the region a unique travel destination. Luleå offers access to numerous winter activities such as dog sledding, snowmobile tours, and hikes in national parks, and is also an ideal starting point for tours through Swedish Lapland.

With Luleå, Edelweiss complements its existing range of winter destinations in the far north, which includes Kuusamo, Ivalo, Rovaniemi and Kittilä in Finland as well as Tromsø and Evenes in Norway.

Flights to Luleå will take place every Friday nonstop from Zurich until March 27, 2026.
