“Swedavia welcomes this proposal. The aviation tax has hampered Swedish flight accessibility, competitiveness and growth. In addition, it has not supported the necessary climate transition as it treats all fuels, including biobased jetfuel, equally,” says Jonas Abrahamsson , Swedavia's President and CEO, continues:

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.
