On Wednesday (January 26, 2022), Norwegian Air announced the reopening of their Stockholm-Arlanda base from April 2022. In preparation for the summer 2022 season, the carrier will recruit 270 Arlanda-based cabin crew members, the first time the airline will have Sweden-based crewmembers since the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Norwegian has seen great interest in hiring cabin crew and has received over 1,500 applications. The new recruits will start work in March 2022 and begin flying in April 2022.

In Wednesday’s announcement, Norwegian Air’s CEO, Geir Karlsen, said,


We are very happy to now be back at Arlanda and can open our base for cabin crew. Despite the increasing spread of infection in recent months, we are positive about the coming summer season and have therefore built up our route network from Arlanda with 54 direct destinations ahead of the season. Arlanda is one of our most important airports, and with 270 new faces at Arlanda, it is with pleasure that we can state that Norwegian is now seriously back in Sweden again.


Over the past six months, Norwegian has opened bases in Copenhagen, Helsinki, Stavanger, Bergen and Trondheim. For January 2022, Norwegian will offer 15 destinations from Stockholm-Arlanda, including three domestic destinations (Umeå, Luleå and Kiruna).


Norwegian Air Shuttle was founded in 1993 and offers smart and pleasant travel experiences at low prices. The airline has been voted ‘Europe’s Best Low-Cost Airline’ by Skytrax for the last six years.

In 2019, Norwegian became the first airline to sign the UN Climate Action Programme, committing to becoming climate neutral by 2050. The carrier currently offers affordable flights on a short-haul network of destinations in the Nordic countries and to key European destinations.
