Why travel by plane to Gothenburg?

Getting to Gothenburg by road is a long and tedious journey from European countries such as France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Austria but to mention a few. There is a road network which includes the Oresund bridge from Copenhagen, Denmark to Malmo, Sweden. The bridges that connect Sweden to the rest of Europe limit the routes that can be used making it a much longer journey. An airplane uses a shorter direct route. Furthermore, it is more comfortable than the next alternative which is taking a ferry.
