Wow, somehow no surprise to me, this means United has completely left Scandinavia/North Europe, the tendency to do that was there for years. CPH axed in 2012, OSL in 2016, HAM in 2018 and now ARN. Delta likes that. I dont see ARN coming back before the XLR arrives.
Edit: forgot about the Bergen flight. Still pretty poor coverage.
Is Bergen mostly related to the cruises' demand?
While Bergen seems to be a really nice place the flight, I am sure about that, should mainly serve the Cruises.
Pre-pandemic, Bergen was becoming a much larger point of entry into Norway than Oslo, given its proximity to the Fjords and to the vast network of ferries (and cruise lines, local and international) that travel those waters. The main tourist sites of Norway are much easier to access through Bergen, be it on a cruise, ferry, or bus/car.
UA has never really been all that strong in Scandinavia. I don't know if anything has changed with the SK in *A and metal neutral/immunity, but UA has mostly served the region seasonally and the entire network is pretty much built out on the old CO platform of 757 service to OSL, CPH, and ARN.
