Scandinavia's biggest charter broker, Air Broker Center, expects to double its bookings this year by expanding into other European markets.
Four years ago, Stockholm-based Air Broker Center set up the Aircraft Charter World website and has seen its bookings from non-Nordic countries rise from under 5% to about one-quarter, says chief executive Trond Michaelsen.
After 11 September, says Michaelsen, the Scandinavian charter market collapsed and several indigenous brokers abandoned it. Now there is a growing acceptance of business aviation in the region and competition from other European brokers has intensified.
