The cargo airport is operated by the Swedish Air Force , which maintains the runway and ensures that there is no snow.

The airfield was used for military purposes as early as 1944. The airport is home to the largest Swedish air force base , F 21, which uses the same runway as civil flights. Other inner-Swedish air force bases are for example F 7 in Såtenäs near Lidköping and F 17 in Ronneby .
