Remiss bodies endorse preparedness status for Sälen Airport amid ongoing push

Two major remiss bodies have backed MP Peter Hultqvist's (S) demand for preparedness status at Scandinavian Mountains Airport in Sälenfjällen, Dalarna's busiest airport. This follows Trafikverket's earlier rejection of the proposal, which drew sharp criticism from Hultqvist.

Following Trafikverket's March rejection of preparedness status for three airports including Sälenfjällens, MP Peter Hultqvist (S) from Borlänge continues his campaign. Two major remiss bodies have now endorsed his demand, as reported by moratidning.se.

The airport in Sälenfjällen is Dalarna's most trafficked, serving key roles that supporters argue warrant the status already held by airports in Mora and Borlänge.

This support intensifies pressure on decision-makers, building on Hultqvist's prior criticisms of the rejection as tone-deaf.

Trafikverket proposes ending the subsidized Mora–Arlanda flight service from October 2027, drawing sharp criticism from local politicians, regional stakeholders, and Sweden's regional airports for threatening business, international connectivity, and emergency services like ambulance transports and firefighting. The plan, first reported in SVT Nyheter Dalarna on March 12, reverses a 2023 reinstatement due to public transport gaps.

Peter Hultqvist (S), former defense minister and MP from Borlänge, sharply criticizes Trafikverket's decision to deny Sälenfjällens airport preparedness status. Three airports, including Sälen, were rejected in the investigation. Hultqvist calls it tone-deaf and strange.
