The Stockholm / Arlanda Airport ( IATA : ARN , ICAO : ESSA , self-description: Stockholm Arlanda Airport ) is the international passenger airport of the Swedish capital Stockholm . In 2016 it handled around 25 million passengers and serves as the basis for SAS Scandinavian Airlines , Norwegian and TUIfly Nordic .

In addition to Arlanda, Stockholm also has the more centrally located regional airport Bromma , which was opened in the 1930s and is primarily used for domestic flights .

Main terminal

Arlanda Airport was opened to air traffic in 1960. After many other construction measures, it now has four passenger terminals with 61 piers and three runways and is considered a Reich interest .

In 2016, a total of 24.7 million passengers used the airport, around four fifths of them for international flights and one fifth for domestic flights. Over 80 airlines fly to Arlanda and connect to over 170 destinations worldwide. Most of the passengers fly to Copenhagen from here . The airport is the largest in Sweden and, behind the airports of Copenhagen-Kastrup and Oslo-Gardermoen, the third largest in Scandinavia in terms of the number of passengers.

During the construction of the airport in 1958, Lars Hellberg suggested the name Arland , which was an older name for the medieval harde - Ärlinghundra härad - in which the airport would be located. However, the Place Name Commission changed the proposal to Arlanda , which was then adopted and established by the government.

While the space shuttle was in operation, the airport was a possible emergency landing site in the event of an unscheduled landing, but due to its high geographical latitude, it was outside of the usual orbits.

Location and transport links

The airport is located near the town of Märsta 37 km north of Stockholm and 29.2 km south of Uppsala .

The fastest way to get to the center of Stockholm is to take the 200 km / h Arlanda Express , which takes only 18 or 15 minutes, depending on the point of entry. The two train stations on the airport site ensure short distances from the gate to the train.

There is also the station Arlanda C for long-distance trains ( SJ Snabbtåg or regional ) and for the Pendeltåglinie J38 of Stockholm transport (SL) under the airport. The shuttle line J38 Uppsala –Arlanda C – Stockholm C– Älvsjö started operations in December 2012. Thus Arlanda is well connected to Uppsala.

A separate surcharge ( särskild passage-avgift ) must be paid for using the Arlanda C.

Furthermore, buses ( Flygbussarna ) run directly between the various terminals and downtown Stockholm. Since March 1, 2014 there has been a new airport bus connection with an end point in the Liljeholmen district. The new bus connection runs from Liljeholmen in the south-west of the city through the districts of Södermalm, Kungsholmen and Vasastan, which are home to numerous hotels, to the Karolinska Hospital and then on to the airport without stopping.

Less known and considerably slower, but the cheapest option is to use the SL bus line 583. All Arlanda terminals are served by bus route 583, which leads to the bus terminal in Märsta , from where you can continue to Stockholm with the suburban train Pendeltåg J36 . The journey time to Stockholm Central Station between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. is around 60 minutes, otherwise around 85 minutes.

Arlanda can be reached by car via the E 4 motorway (junctions 181 and 182); the airport is only about 2 km east of this motorway at Riksväg 273 and has 20,400 parking spaces.

Airlines and Destinations

64 airlines operate at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, connecting it with a total of 160 national and international airports. The airport offers flights to New York City ( Newark Liberty International Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport ), Los Angeles , Chicago ( Chicago O'Hare International Airport ), Phuket , Doha , Addis Ababa and Beijing .

Others

The four Arlanda terminals are numbered 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 ; Terminal 1 does not exist. The background to this is a change in planning for the expansion of the airport. As part of this expansion, all old and planned terminals were given new names in 1992. The actual construction of the planned Terminal 1 was never carried out after the other terminals were named.

Incidents

  • On November 1, 1969, a Convair CV-440 (SE-BSU) of Linjeflyg had an accident during a training flight at Stockholm / Arlanda Airport. With a simulated engine failure, the machine got out of control; there was a crash landing. All four pilots on board were uninjured, but the aircraft was a total economic loss.
  • On January 5, 1970, when the Spantax started a charter flight to Palma de Mallorca, an engine failure was noticed. The take-off was canceled and the four-engine Convair CV-990 with the registration number EC-BNM rolled back to the terminal. Afterwards, the plane was to be flown in a transfer flight without passengers with only three functioning engines to Zurich for repairs. During the take-off, the machine got out of control, grazed some tree tops and eventually crashed. Five of the ten crew members died (see also the Spantax flight accident near Stockholm ) .
