Swedavia's Airports in Sweden

Swedavia AB is a Swedish state-owned company, which owns and operates ten of Sweden's busiest airports. [1] It has its head office at the air traffic control tower of Stockholm-Arlanda Airport in Sigtuna Municipality near Stockholm. [2] [3]

It was formed on 1 April 2010, when the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration was split up, and all commercial airport operation was transferred to Swedavia. Air navigation services continue as a state enterprise under the name LFV (Civil Aviation Administration). In 2010, the number of employees was about 2,600. [1]

When the decision was made to form Swedavia, there were 16 nationally owned airports, but it was a part of the decision to transfer six of them to local owners and keep ten large airports. Region Värmland took over the operations of Karlstad Airport in 2010. [6] In 2011, the operations for Ängelholm-Helsingborg Airport was transferred to Region Skåne Nordväst [7] and Örnsköldsvik Airport was transferred to Örnsköldsvik Municipality. [8] In 2013 Sundsvall Airport was transferred to local owners. Jönköping Airport and Skellefteå Airport were transferred to local ownership 2009/2010 before Swedavia was formed.

In December 2024, Swedavia communicated to the Swedish government that it no longer sees a viable future for Stockholm Bromma Airport, citing persistently low capacity utilisation and a lack of financial justification for its continued operation. [9] Bromma Airport’s continued operations are estimated to cost at least one billion SEK (€87 million) annually for Swedavia, [10] with the costs of operating Bromma subsidised by passenger fees other Swedavia airports.
