Closing its base means that Ryanair will continue to fly to and from Stockholm Skavsta Airport, but will not keep planes or staff at the site. The other airline which uses Skavsta, Wizz Air, will continue to have a base there. Nyköping city commissioner Urban Granström said the move from the airline was "a sad decision". "Skavsta is an important development engine for Nyköping and the southern Stockholm region so it's obvious that this is a sad decision," he said. "Those who will be affected are Swedish travellers who will get more expensive tickets, and Nyköping and Skavsta Airport which will lose work opportunities."
