Traffic on the rise at Sweden’s airports

The upward traffic trend in Sweden continued In March, with close to 2.6 million passengers passing through Swedavia’s ten airports.

In total, air travel increased by just over 5% compared to March 2025 as demand grew for both international and domestic air travel.

As a result, international travel registered a 5% increase over the same month a year ago, and domestic travel increased by 6%.

Although developments varied locally between airports, almost all airports – with the exception of Kiruna – showed an increase.

Swedavia notes that although international traffic was affected “to some extent by the situation in the Middle East”, overall the development was positive.

Stockholm Arlanda Airport, Sweden’s largest airport, had just under 1.9 million passengers in March, an upturn of 5% compared to March last year.

Göteborg Landvetter Airport had just over 384,000 passengers in March, an increase of 4% compared to the same month last year.

Swedavia’s other eight airports also showed positive development, though with local variations. Visby Airport and Åre Östersund Airport reported the strongest growth among the regional airports, up 28% and 16% respectively compared with the same month last year.

Bromma Stockholm Airport had just over 5,500 passengers in March, corresponded to just under 3% of pre-pandemic levels.
