ForwardKeys Air ticketing data for Q1 of 2024 shows a strong comeback of urban hot spots across Scandinavia. Oslo, Helsinki, and Copenhagen all show double-digit growths versus the same period in 2019.

Olivier Ponti, VP of Insights from ForwardKeys adds: “consumer appetite for white winter experiences fuels bookings to the Nordics. This is true for destinations in the Far North as well as for Scandinavian capital cities. Interestingly, bookings to these destinations are made earlier in advance than pre-pandemic, pushing travel professionals to adapt the timing of their marketing campaigns. However, the key question is whether Scandinavian countries will manage to fully capitalize on travel demand given that they have not fully recovered the level of air connectivity they enjoyed back in 2019."
