Ryanair will offer more flights to and from Sweden, adding two aircraft to its fleet in the country following a government decision to scrap an aviation tax, the airline said on Wednesday.
As part of the expansion Ryanair will introduce 10 additional routes to international destinations from mid-2025, it added.
"Sweden is suddenly more attractive," Eddie Wilson, the chief executive of the group's largest airline, Ryanair DAC, told a press conference in Stockholm.
Sweden’s right-wing government last month announced it would end the tax on airline tickets from the middle of next year, aiming to reduce prices and boost availability.
