Swedavia’s traffic statistics for April 2025
In April, approximately 2.6 million travelers flew via Swedavia's ten airports, which is slightly higher compared to last year. International travel continued to grow, while domestic travel declined.

Ryanair is adding another aircraft at Arlanda and one at Landvetter, while Norwegian is reopening its pilot base at Arlanda.
