I think one problem is that in Sweden at least it’s a bit of a fussy market. People are loyal to BA and SAS. Ryanair did ok and they have now moved their service to Arlanda which should help. Norwegian has a pretty rubbish reputation (at least in my circles) for often being delayed and most people we know wouldn’t use them.
But flights are massively down. I commuted between Stockholm and London weekly between 2016-2021 (including through out the pandemic) and we went from SAS having 5 daily and BA also up to 5 daily on LHR-ARN to at best now 2 daily each. There is a lot of market to come back but the testing requirements for UK mean we haven’t been back since September. Last time it cost us more in tests than our flights cost us!
