To sum it up, operations will increase from five daily E190, to four daily E190 and two daily 737.
This addition of the sixth daily flight puts GOT in the same league as the capitals, for KLM:

The tax has been proposed by the government, but I'm not sure how great their chances are on getting the parliament to pass it. The government (Social democrats + Green party) only has 138 out of 349 seats in the parliament. The Left party are likely to support the government, and the four Alliance parties (Moderate party, Centre party, Liberals and Christian Democrats) will probably oppose the tax. So it probably boils down to the Sweden democrats.
The Sweden Democrats are a fairly protectionistic party, right? Anti-EU, anti-immigration - but varying between the Moderates and Social Democrats regarding the rest of their political agenda? I doubt they'll vote for this tax. I hope it doesn't pass the parliament, I'd love to see those C-Series here in Scandinavia.

ThReaTeN wrote:Just to clarify here: Since the government will include the new tax in the next budget proposal, the tax will pass parliament this autumn regardless of the stance of the Sweden Democrats. The reason is, as described above in my post, the deal between the minority center-left government and the center-right opposition that assures that the budget proposal of the government always will pass in its entirety.

He says, most importantly, that the aviation tax as implemented would "definitely" put a stop to Norwegian's expansion at ARN. He also predicts that airports in Sweden, specifically Skavsta, will go out of operation. Another fun part of the interview is where he offers dubious praise for SAS, in reference to their announced equity issuance: "They're a good competitor and I hope they get all the money they need. Any company with high costs and [high] prices is a good competitor".
In other news, the EU has reversed its earlier decision that relieved SAS from a 70 million euro anti-trust fine:

At least for OSL, they will be the only CRJ-1000 operator
As a replacement for Jet Time, SAS has concluded an agreement with Regional Jet OÜ, which will be flying four ATR72-600 aircraft for SAS from August.

Real shame that ET won't have local rights on ARN-OSL-ARN. Is that something that can change in the future?
