Direct flights between Luleå Airport and Paris this winter

Starting in December, France's largest tour operator Quartier Libre and the airline Transavia France will offer direct flights between Luleå and Paris. Once a week, on Fridays, the flight operates between Luelå Airport and Paris Orly Airport. The route is a combination of charter for incoming tourists and regular traffic and will be offered for 14 weeks during the winter season.

TUI removes face mask requirement on charter flights

It is no longer mandatory to wear a face mask on board TUI charter flights. The change came into effect on 11 March for bookings with TUIfly and its partner airline Jet Time. However, TUI continues to follow the EASA guidelines for passenger health and safety and therefore still recommends its customers to wear a face mask on board the aircraft.
