We in Värmland need to be able to get out into the world and the world needs to be able to get to Värmland, says Wingefors to the radio.

The entrepreneur, co-founder and CEO of the game developer Embracer with its head office in Karlstad, says he has noticed a great need for new air routes to and from Värmland.

According to the radio, he has purchased four planes and the hope is to start with daily departures to both capital cities in March next year. The regular air traffic from Karlstad has previously had difficulty reaching profitability, something Wingefors says he is taking into account.

I am prepared to take losses for a few years, but over time I want more Värmland residents, companies and organizations to use this so that we can break even and maybe make a little profit.
