About HP
HP is a Swedish regional carrier doing the quiet, unglamorous work that keeps northern Sweden connected to the rest of the country. This is not a low-cost airline chasing beach tourists, and it's not a legacy carrier with a business class cabin and a points program worth caring about. It's a regional operation, built around Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) as its main hub, with secondary bases scattered across Norrland — Vilhelmina, Lycksele, Arvidsjaur. Twenty-eight non-stop routes across ten airports, almost all of them within Sweden. If you need to get somewhere in the Swedish interior, HP is often the only option on the board.
Why fly HP?
Honestly, the main reason you fly HP is that the alternative is a very long drive through a lot of pine trees. The network is almost entirely domestic Sweden, with 25 Swedish routes out of 28, plus a couple of connections to Aland and one into Finland. That ARN-GEV route at 844 km is the longest in the fleet, which gives you a sense of the distances involved up here. What HP offers that a rental car doesn't is time — these are thinly populated regions where road travel is genuinely slow. If your business takes you to Arvidsjaur (AJR) or Lycksele (LYC) with any regularity, you're not really choosing between airlines. You're choosing between HP and a packed lunch and four hours of E-road.

Tips for booking HP
ARN is your most reliable connection point — eight routes run through it, so if you're building an itinerary that touches multiple northern Swedish cities, routing through Arlanda is the logical move. The smaller hubs like VHM and LYC each handle three routes, which means limited scheduling flexibility; if you miss your flight out of Vilhelmina, there may not be another one today. Book early on thinner routes because seat counts are low and prices spike fast. Don't expect the operational frills of a larger carrier. Check baggage policies carefully before you show up — regional aircraft have strict weight limits that catch people out.
