How many airports are there in Sweden?
How many airports Sweden has and who runs the biggest ones.
Short answer
Sweden has 44 instrument airports approved by the Swedish Transport Agency, plus three approved airports without instrument aids and 23 heliports. Swedavia runs 10 airports, including Arlanda, Landvetter, Bromma and Malmö. Many small airfields need no approval and are not counted.
Why
- According to the Swedish Transport Agency, Sweden currently has 44 instrument airports approved by the agency.
- The Swedish Transport Agency also lists three approved airports without instrument approach aids and 23 approved heliports.
- Swedavia's own site names its ten airports: Arlanda, Göteborg Landvetter, Bromma, Malmö, Luleå, Umeå, Åre Östersund, Visby, Ronneby and Kiruna.
Details
Airports outside the Swedavia network, such as Stockholm Skavsta, have their own websites and operators. For the airports you are most likely to use, see domestic flights and airports. If you fly in from abroad, the Schengen rules decide what happens at the border.
Tip
Pick the airport by where your airline lands, not by the city name, since Stockholm has four airports with that name in the Transport Agency's list. See airports and flights to Sweden.
What may differ
The number depends on the type: the Transport Agency counts approved instrument airports (44), approved airports without instrument aids (3) and heliports (23) separately.
Common misconception
All airports in Sweden belong to Swedavia.
What actually happens
Swedavia runs ten airports, while Sweden has 44 approved instrument airports. Stockholm Skavsta, for example, is not on Swedavia's list and has its own operator.
