Easter important in Scandinavia

Remember that legacy airlines tend to adjust their holiday schedules to their home markets. Easter is a much more important holiday in Scandinavia than in the rest of Europe. Both Good Friday and Easter Monday are holidays in all of Scandinavia, and in Norway Maundy Thursday is a holiday as well (Norwegians living close to Sweden tend to go there for shopping and partying due to this). Most Norwegians work half day on the Wednesday before, and the schools have all week off.

Thus Easter Saturday is a very slow day for travelling in/to/from Scandinavia.
