In April, more than 2.6 million passengers chose to fly via Swedavia's ten airports. This represents an increase of almost 1,5 per cent compared with April of last year. This trend continues to be driven by increased demand for international travel, primarily from Stockholm Arlanda Airport.
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.
During January, Swedavia's ten airports served nearly 2.1 million passengers, which is on a par with the number of passengers in January of last year. The trend of stronger demand for international travel, especially to Europe, and weaker demand for domestic travel continued in January, which is one of the weakest travel months of the year.
The recovery in air travel continued in 2023 and was mainly driven by increased international travel and an expanded range of routes and destinations at Stockholm Arlanda Airport. During the year, more than 32 million passengers flew through Swedavia's airports, which represents an increase of 17 percent compared to last year and about 80 percent of pre-pandemic levels.
In November, Swedavia's airports had nearly 2.4 million passengers, which is a 1 per cent increase compared to November last year. International travel, mainly at Stockholm Arlanda but also at Göteborg Landvetter, continued to drive the trend, but demand weakened somewhat. The slowdown in domestic travel continued and was around 65 per cent of domestic travel compared to before the pandemic.
On Tuesday, October 10, Stockholm Arlanda Airport's new 11,000 square-metre Marketplace and the airport's new, faster security check-point at Sweden's largest airport were inaugurated, with speeches by Swedavia's CEO, Jonas Abrahamsson, and Andreas Carlson, Sweden's Minister for Infrastructure and Housing.
Air travel this autumn has had a stable start, driven by sustained strong demand, mostly for flights to European destinations. During the month, nearly three million passengers flew via Swedavia’s airports, an increase of five per cent compared to September last year.
The recovery in air travel continues, and with nearly 3.2 million passengers June is the month that had the most passengers since the start of the pandemic. The trend of strong growth in demand for international travel continues, especially at Stockholm Arlanda. During the month, an increase in domestic travel was also noted.
The recovery in aviation continued in May, and summer travel is now picking up speed. In May, for the first time since the start of the Covid pandemic, Swedavia’s airports had more than 3 million passengers in a single month. That is an increase of 14 per cent compared to May last year and corresponds to 83 per cent of the pre-pandemic level.
In April, more than 2.6 million passengers flew via Swedavia’s ten airports. That is an increase of 17 per cent compared to April 2022 and corresponds to 81 per cent of the pre-pandemic level in 2019. The trend is driven by demand for international flights, mainly from Stockholm Arlanda. International travel at Swedavia’s other major airports, Göteborg Landvetter and Malmö Airport, also saw strong
The first quarter of the year was dominated by the continued recovery in air travel, with 66 per cent more passengers at Swedavia’s airports compared to the first quarter last year. The growth in travel and thus increased commercial revenue contributed to increased revenue and better net income overall.
In March, more than 2.5 million passengers flew via Swedavia’s ten airports. That is an increase of more than 40 per cent compared to March 2022 and is equivalent to 77 per cent of the level before the Covid pandemic in 2019. The trend is driven by increased international travel, especially to Europe via Stockholm Arlanda and by the airlines’ continued investments in new traffic.
Swedavia’s Annual and Sustainability Report for 2022 is available as of today on the company’s website. The year 2022 was characterised by a robust recovery in the aviation market, despite economic and security policy uncertainty around the world. Travel at Swedavia’s airports increased, and Swedish connectivity improved significantly as a growing number of new routes were established.
In February, more than 2 million passengers flew to or from Swedavia’s ten airports. That is an increase of nearly 80 per cent compared to February last year and corresponds to 75 per cent of the pre-pandemic volume in 2019. Demand for flights during the winter school break strengthened, and Swedavia now continues to intensify its preparations to handle more passengers this summer.
Today Swedavia published its Year-End Report for 2022. Due to the strong recovery in the aviation market and a number of important airline investments, the company reported a near doubling of revenue and a sharp improvement in profit for the full year, with positive cash flow from operating activities for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
Travel at Swedavia’s airports continued to increase sharply during the third quarter of the year, driven by the post-pandemic recovery in travel and airline investments at Stockholm Arlanda Airport. The increase in travel had a positive impact on Swedavia’s results, with increased net revenue and positive operating income for the second straight quarter.
The recovery in aviation continued in September, and for the fourth straight month the number of passengers at Swedavia’s airports was nearly 3 million. It also means that passenger volume was 77 per cent compared to the same month in 2019, which is the highest figure since the outbreak of the Covid pandemic.
The recovery in aviation continued in August, and for the third straight month the number of passengers at Swedavia’s airports was nearly 2,9 million. August was dominated by continued seasonal demand for international travel, but also by increased demand for domestic travel in conjunction with the start of school and work.
Nearly 2.9 million passengers flew via Swedavia’s airports during the month, which makes June the third straight month with record passenger volume since the start of the pandemic. June is usually the strongest travel month of the year due to increased demand and routes being added during the summer.
The rapid recovery in air travel continued in May, and with more than 2.6 million passengers Swedavia set a new record for a single month since the start of the pandemic. The strong growth is driven mainly by an increase in international travel, especially at Stockholm Arlanda, where air travel has increased sharply within a short period of time. Compared to the start of the year, both January and
