During March, almost 2.5 million passengers flew via Swedavia’s airports. International travel continued to show a positive trend during the month and increased by 5 per cent compared to March of last year, while domestic travel showed a weaker trend as a result of an early Easter this year, which resulted in lower demand for domestic travel. During the spring, the airlines will continue to invest in the Swedish market by adding new air traffic ahead of the summer season. This includes the return of Delta Air Lines’ direct route in April between Arlanda and New York.

In February, Swedavia's ten airports served nearly 2.2 million passengers, which is 4 per cent higher than February of last year. The increase continues to be driven by international travel, which increased 8 per cent during the month. Higher passenger traffic is partly attributable to increased winter holiday travel, primarily from Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Göteborg Landvetter Airport, but also from Umeå Airport and Åre Östersund Airport. Our airports are now preparing for the summer traffic season, which begins in late March/early April . The summer traffic season will bring an increase in connectivity at Swedavia's airports with about 25 new routes so far, including 10 brand new destinations.

Swedavia is implementing an organisational change as of 1 July. The organisational change is being carried out after Johan Bill, Director of Projects, has chosen to retire and thereby leave Swedavia and Swedavia's executive management.

Increased air travel, an enhanced range of routes and destinations, as well as increased commercial revenues contributed to improved earnings and more satisfied passengers. Net revenue increased by just over SEK 1 billion compared with 2022 to almost SEK 6 billion. There was positive development in operating income, but costs increased due to both higher passenger volumes and inflation. Operating income totalled SEK -318 million for the full year, compared with SEK -783 million in 2022.
