    Face mask requirements

    A face mask covering mouth and nose is required during the entire flight, from boarding to disembarkation. This applies to all of our flights. We require you to bring your own face mask. Children younger than 6 years are exempted from this rule. A face mask is only valid for four hours. This means you will have to bring as many face masks as you need during your travel. Remember that you might need an extra mask upon arrival.

    Travel and entry restrictions – your responsibility

    Please be aware that travel and entry restrictions may apply for some destinations. As a traveler you are responsible for making sure you meet the necessary requirements to enter your destination, before leaving for the airport. For guidance, please consult with government bodies, such as the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

    Coronavirus testing

    Are you planning to travel and need a certificate proving you are fit to travel? Some countries require a negative corona test result (PCR test) and a medical certificate before you can board the aircraft or to enter the country. Some countries require it for transit as well. To ensure easy access to testing services at a discounted price we have partnered with private Swedish healthcare service company Doktor24 and Vaccina. You can start your journey with peace of mind, as you are provided with a covid test that meets the international quality standards. Travelers from Sweden can either book an appointment for covid testing at home via video or at Doktor24's and Vaccina’s clinics. Travelers from Norway can book an appointment at Volvat’s clinics in Norway. Check out the FAQ section further down for more information.

    The air on board

    Almost all our aircraft are equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters that are capable of capturing up to 99.97% of microbes, like viruses and bacteria, ensuring a high air quality. The air on board is exchanged every 2-3 minutes. The air on board is pressed down from the ceiling to the floor. This makes it difficult for droplets to spread, as the air flow makes droplets immediately fall to the floor immediately. All our Airbus and Boeing aircraft are equipped with HEPA filters. Flights operated with ATR aircraft has another type of air filter on board, which ensures a continuous flow of fresh air to the cabin.
