Which terminal is international at Arlanda?
Which terminals handle international flights and how transfers work.
Short answer
International flights leave from both Terminal 5 and Terminal 2 at Arlanda, and Terminal 5 also has domestic traffic since the old Terminal 4 joined it.

Why

- According to Swedavia, a non-Schengen transfer bus runs between Gate F1 in Terminal 5 and Gate 70 in Terminal 2.
- Swedavia lists the original international terminal as Terminal 5, Arlanda International, opened in 1976.

What may differ

Common misconception
Terminal 5 is the international terminal and handles only international flights.
