FR were welcomed in Sweden, but without guaranteed connections in ARN they would have struggled to survive on just P2P.
Report (in Swedish) about the cancellations:

Lovely to see Norwegian back on track. Ryanair always have an excuse if something doesnt work. Would be great if they actually said for once "well we didn't get the passengers numbers we expected, so had to leave the market" however I think hell would of frozen over if that happened
