Sun-Air boosts Cambridge-Nordic connections

Continuing the success of the Gothenburg service introduced in March this year by British Airways’ franchise partner, SUN-AIR of Scandinavia, the airline is expanding its range of Nordic destinations from Cambridge to offer connecting services to both the Swedish capital, Stockholm as well as Helsinki, the capital of Finland. 

Passengers from Cambridge heading to the two Scandinavian capitals will be able to take advantage of rapid connections at Gothenburg to convenient onward flights arriving at Stockholm’s downtown Bromma Airport, and at Helsinki’s main Vantaa international airport.

Flights depart Cambridge daily Monday-Thursday at 0700 and, with an easy en-route transfer, arrive into Stockholm Bromma around lunchtime, or early afternoon at Helsinki.

Return flights depart Helsinki and Stockholm in the late afternoon at approximately 1600 with short transfer en-route and arrive in Cambridge at 1900 local time.  All flights are operated by regional jet aircraft, including SUN-AIR’s Dornier 328 jets based at Cambridge.

David Surley, head of business and route development at Cambridge International Airport, welcomed the new flight connections: “SUN-AIR has not only brought us closer to Scandinavia with its daily mid-week Gothenburg flights, in the British Airways brand, it is now connecting Cambridge and our region to two of Europe’s most important capital cities.  Flight links to Stockholm’s downtown Bromma Airport take you right to the heart of the Swedish capital, saving valuable time and avoiding lengthy road journeys, while the link to Helsinki is particularly significant – the only connection from the East England region, shaving hours off the alternative journey time using Gatwick or Heathrow airports.  The fact these connections are daily Monday to Thursday, with short and easy transfers at Gothenburg, is super convenient for Cambridge customers on both business and leisure alike.”
