Shalom and greetings all my pals,

 

Here is nice traditional holiday flight from ESSA Stockholm Arlanda Airport located near the town of Märsta 20 nautical miles of Stockholm, Sweden to bring lucky passengers to official Santa Claus airport better known as EFRO Rovaniemi Airport located 6 miles north of city center of Rovaniemi, Finland or 2 miles away from Santa Claus Village and Santa Claus Park. The Arctic Circle actually crosses the runway closer to its northern end.
