WHY DOES THIS TINY AIRPORT HAVE 2 FLIGHTS A DAY?

I'm in Stockholm in Sweden and today I'm heading to a place called speck I've never heard of speck before until a couple of days ago and I've got no idea what's there is a little town quite some way from here and to be honest I don't think that fakie is really on the list of tourist destinations or people coming to Sweden but they're operating the flight there twice a day to this little town called swag and I've got no idea why so we're gonna head over and find out just what the attraction is about spec and why there's two flights a day from Stockholm thanks ed - late the sponsor in this week's been here flights from Stockholm to the bustling metropolis of swag operated by an airline called John Eyre who fly the route twice daily with a beach King Air 200 a small turboprop aircraft usually operated as a corporate aircraft by air taxi operators but Stockholm being said quiet the Swedish Air Force appear to be using the tower as target practice today some waiting for check-in to open less than an hour before the flight happened I'm the only person here literally every other flight out of Stockholm Arlanda has gone today this is the last one of the day eventually I was joined at the check-in desk by another passenger heading to spec who seemed equally confused at least I'm not the only one I was getting worried that I was the only event someone turned up and told us that we were in the wrong place and we need to go and meet the stuff in the shopping area if they had alright are you guys ready to go yeah in quite possibly the strangest boarding arrangement that I've ever had we were taken outside as I began to wonder if my right aspect had been substituted revokes wagon minimus as if this wasn't all strange enough we then appeared to leave the airport entirely joining a motorway at one point eventually there we pulled into the private term in little underwear it seemed we be getting the red-carpet treatment today as he pulled onto the ramp I got my first view of my writers spec it's a King Air 200 that rolled off a production line in 1983 its phone for operators in the US Germany South Africa in Norway in its time before John air-water in 2019 John Arthur here in a commuter configuration with 12 seas and vehicles got a large cargo pod attached to the belly to that they use for Korean skis oh yeah welcome on board did they feel to pull it online yes actually I'm a viewer on the shuttle oh yeah so basically we have two x's one where you came in yes and one in the right forward porch of the cabin introductions completes it was time to fire up the engines and cut on our way to act differently here it's all under the real star attire laughter today was his 50-year old dc-8 built in 1969 and operated originally by United Airlines but later converted to a private jet and owned by a Saudi Sheik it subtly been stored it all under three years [Music] we loved up on the runway after FL start due to a burn on the runway [Music] we had a second go and took off towards the bright lights of swag Venus I reached up suspect the Seaview then took us on a direct path heading Northwest from Stockholm flight time today was 52 minutes at a cruising altitude of 20,000 feet [Music] so climbing out of Stockholm on the king air this is such a cool plane to fly on legroom is pretty decent as expected for what is essentially a private jet type class aircraft certainly an interesting way to get on the playing down in and stop in Orlando but this is pretty cool climbing up to 20,000 feet or so now for the one hour and a half flight of two that's pretty good I'm enjoying this plane it's nice before long we commence our descent down into spec and join on a left base like the runway two-seven [Music] oh yes nice - follow me - hang on I'll give you a sticker honey even if like tomorrow all you're flying it I'm here yeah tomorrow yes tomorrow yeah yeah yeah awesome coral no procedure also it okay out through the outside wonderful thank you say tomorrow thank you I said no taxes it's forget what I was very kindly offer the lift into town by Ingrid the lady that I'd met back in stock I am in the bright lights of spec so it's very good a tourist town or is it what is here is it it's Warren two flights from our lender I see yes so that's why thank you so much this can I give you anything for even what videos thank you so much lovely to meet you Ingrid thank you so much thank you bye-bye so then here in the delightful town of fig on this rather basic looking building it appears to be my home for the night so let's see okay okay and no bathroom is a shared bathroom to be honest this was the only place this is the only place you can stay in this big so I think I'm the only one here nice view out over the bright lights of vague yeah I'm off to find a bear when they nice by the way I'm Ingrid announcer and very nice of them to give me a lift to my hotel soon as especially there's no taxi service or anything around here so it's quite in span funny that way literally there is nothing here even people who live here are like why don't you want to visit spec and let's be quiet aha I found it the world's largest wooden bear of which speck is famous for it's more like a picture to me and there's a bike a meeting going on outside they have it the world's largest wooden bear it's still a little bit baffling as to why sixty two flights a day from Stockholm who's coming here there's not really much here so I live to prove what a tiny towns Vega is I've just done bumped into the first a visit from the flight today on his evening run around the bright lights of spec and apparently I'm the only one on the flight tomorrow [Music] so we have somebody special on the FaceTime how are you doing some

goodbye to the bright lights of swag and head back to the airport and head back to Stockholm [Music] hey thank you thank you as much as it's a beautiful secluded part of the world I still hadn't pretty much no clue as to why it served twice daily by plane from Stockholm all is quiet intercontinental multi-port and I'm waiting my flight which is in about another hour and a half but I wanted to measure I've got here because knowing what taxis alike and it's five the world I wanted to give myself enough time to walk so I mean go and have a wander in a minute and it explores vague International Airport lots of logs on these wagons I think logging is a I so understandably a massive thing here in this part of Sweden because it's just around my forests they were in [Music] so inside the huge departure lounge here at swag International either port you have a check-in desk and a security point and that's it but there is free tea and coffee and I need coffee no first name no just I think it's the Orion flight today private jet yeah do you need my passport yes to the plane yes of course yeah no problem yeah okay thank you I saw the pilot in town last night and he said oh you're the only passenger I was on the flight yesterday as well so I guess you don't get many passengers coming to spag I guess I am i I've come to find out why there are sometimes two flights a day to spec yes it's like it's a lovely town but very quiet and crazy that there's no no and I guess now more so so it's in a moment yes yes I'll sit through here them yeah thank you the departure lounge effect is pretty basic but it's nice and comfortable I couldn't help but feel that we were feeling a little bit optimistic with a number of seats though there's great views over the apron at least of what activity there is here and I watched as my ride back to Stockholm was towed out of the hangar it was soon time to board my private jets well turboprop let's get that one right this time back to Stockholm thank you enjoy your run yes yes yeah nice to sit down for a little bit now nice okay very quick yes yes the seat for you in the front thank you very much just gonna review some of the safety stuff we have one and the market under seeds if most fortune and is needed most okay and you just pull it down tight perfect and it is if you want somebody on board thank you very much yes thank you thank you [Music] as I got settled in I spotted the nice touch by the first officer andreas so reserved my seat right behind the flight net [Music] [Music] [Music] I'll be back to stop him then was pretty much the reverse of the day before really straight down to Stockholm with a flight time of 46 minutes cruising at 21,000 feet [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] my return flight from Stockholm to spec cost me just a hundred two pounds returned or around a hundred and twenty six US dollars this works out to a price of twenty five pounds per mile the chance to ride on an aircraft usually uses a corporate plane this represents a fantastic value for money I'm hoping to travel back to the north of Sweden soon to take a ride on their other King hair across the Arctic to the town of paella as you pulled on to stand captain Anton gave me a little more information about the route to spec okay so it's like an essential air service I guess and is it usually people who were visiting vague or is it you people visits from fake coming to Stockholm or it's it's actually kind of both yes a lot of people that travel from 3 and 4 for meetings to start let's talk on this one but yes you have you know all of the ski tourists yes in the winter guests interesting yes yes we were saying last night weren't we at this time this is or see that's beautiful yes yes so that's what on the Union route yes very nice but it keeps you flying multiplying you guys is my first time on a King Air and it's nice too well thank you so much I'll shake your hand thank you so much yes nice to see you Thank You Sona red carpet treatment enjoy also absolutely I'd be good so my bags gone on me oh it's on the bus already yes I'm keeping him waiting there well nice to meet you guys anyway thank you good fight back and then stay safe with everything that's going on all right thank you guys bye bye hello how are you I'm good thank you you had a great ride over to second back and met some truly wonderful people thanks so much to captain on some first officer andreas for the wonderful flight to Ingrid and a husband Derek for the rights of my hotel in spec and of course everyone else that I met during my trip over to spec so back here in Stockholm Arlanda Airport and I really really would fly with John Eyre back from fake and I'm selling only incredible for like guys thank you so much to the crew they were absolutely amazing on that flight let me sit right up at the front and explaining everything about the flight it was just so cool though thank you again in regards to whether I found out any more about when people heard to speak no I still don't really understand that and speaking to the crew they said actually the flight is always packed full and so much so that they're looking at upgrading it to a beach 1900 C which is quite staggering really it's actually an essential air service it is paid for by the Swedish government hence the reason why there are two flights a day but the fact where the flight is always for nobody seems to really understand so a little bit normal but why is it on that but never mind I really hope you've enjoyed this video let me know what you think to spag hands who johnny and the fly over to spec on the king air as well and down in the comments below in the meantime has always thanks so much for watching take care and I'll see you next time
