How many airports does Stockholm have?
The four Stockholm airports, where they are and how far.
Short answer
Four airports are listed with the name Stockholm: Arlanda (ARN), Bromma (BMA), Skavsta (NYO) and Västerås (VST). Arlanda lies about 42 km north of the centre and Bromma is the closest to the centre, while Skavsta and Västerås are each about 80 minutes from the city, according to Swedavia.
Why
- The Swedish Transport Agency lists STOCKHOLM/Arlanda, STOCKHOLM/Bromma, STOCKHOLM/Skavsta and STOCKHOLM/Västerås among Sweden's approved instrument airports.
- Swedavia says Skavsta lies roughly 80 minutes south of Stockholm and Västerås around 80 minutes west.
- Swedavia runs Arlanda and Bromma, while Skavsta has its own website and operator.
Details
Skavsta is at Nyköping, about 100 km southwest of Stockholm, according to its own site. Compare the options in Arlanda and the alternatives and see the airport listings in air transport in Stockholm.
