Instead of broad restrictions, the Chamber argues for increased use of sustainable aviation fuel to cut emissions while maintaining national connectivity.<\/h4>\n<p>The review of more than 100 municipal travel policies reveals that nearly 80 percent restrict air travel in some form, often requiring special approval or allowing flights only as a last resort. At the same time, Sweden\u2019s air connectivity has weakened sharply since 2019, with fewer domestic routes and departures. According to the Chamber, this risks undermining accessibility for regions that rely on air transport and calls for a shift in focus, from flying less to flying more

reindustrialization is currently underway in northern Sweden, heavily reliant on robust national and international communications. Sweden, particularly northern Sweden, must attract skilled labor and talent from across the globe. This challenging task becomes impossible if Sweden faces isolation due to fewer direct connections and departures to and from Arlanda.<\/p>\n<p>Between 2018 and 2023, Arlanda&#8217;s accessibility declined across all regions, both domestic and international. Reversing this trend requires a unified effort across political lines, industries, and societal levels.<\/p>\n<p>We identify several critical issues essential for reversing this development:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Strengthen Arlanda&#8217;s competitiveness.<\/li>\n<li>Accelerate the green transition in aviation.<\/li>\n<li>Enhance international accessibility to Arlanda

This is especially true for the long haul lines with direct flights to other continents.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by SvD N\u00e4ringsliv recently, there is growing concern in Stockholm, where significant business representatives want to see investment and expansion of Arlanda. The demands are directed not least towards Infrastructure Minister Andreas Carlson (KD).<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Considering the transition aviation is undergoing (towards fossil-free fuels), we cannot expect aviation to continue at this level or to decrease. On the contrary, we need to anticipate that when aviation becomes an even more sustainable way to travel, more people will want to fly,&#8217; says Andreas Carlson in the article in SvD.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I have great confidence in the plans that the Swedish aviation industry has to transition,&#8217; he continues. &#8216;There must be an end to the suspicion of aviation&#8217;s ambitions to transition.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-lsytcxsx-7bc432e0b3bc68530c01d7ca9ab6239f-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-267  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='https:\/\/www.svd.se\/a\/WRwA4g\/flygskatten-har-spelat-ut-sin-roll-sager-andreas-carlson-kd'  class='avia-button av-lsytcxsx-7bc432e0b3bc68530c01d7ca9ab6239f av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-small avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color-subtle'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"Read the article (in Swedish)\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Read the article (in Swedish)<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-g05351-10e31078faf84275c0b83c3fcffef991\">\n.avia-section.av-g05351-10e31078faf84275c0b83c3fcffef991{\nbackground-color:#e0e0e0;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_28'  class='avia-section av-g05351-10e31078faf84275c0b83c3fcffef991 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-shadow  avia-builder-el-268  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_two_third  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-6165'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-dkt0et-23806e2c516c7b9dac1a387c17ce513d av_one_full  avia-builder-el-269  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-c2wfat-a3012586fcb8e24989de909eafc99400 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">January 24, 2024<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_28'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-6165'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-b63nl1-56ab69009995021272fcbc85bc300234\">\n.flex_column.av-b63nl1-56ab69009995021272fcbc85bc300234{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-b63nl1-56ab69009995021272fcbc85bc300234 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-271  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_one_third  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-8n29h1-ab9f55bfbe63f3c7ee7ddc94cdcba528 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>JAPAN&#8217;S LARGEST AIRLINE TO ESTABLISH AT STOCKHOLM ARLANDA &#8211; WILL LAUNCH DIRECT ROUTE TO TOKYO<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-711cut-4a058ac49b4a0c52eabd17f7dbd987df\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-711cut-4a058ac49b4a0c52eabd17f7dbd987df{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-711cut-4a058ac49b4a0c52eabd17f7dbd987df hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-273  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-5t4mzp-0677d5458e1564654f5707a50a1f509d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Japan\u2019s largest airline, ANA, will establish at Stockholm Arlanda Airport with a direct route to the country\u2019s major hub, Tokyo Haneda.<\/h4>\n<p>ANA will be an important addition to Stockholm Arlanda, connecting the Swedish capital with one of the most important markets in Asia.<\/p>\n<p>The route will not only serve as an important connection to the Japanese capital but also as an important connection to the whole of Asia and the South Pacific due to ANAs vast network.<\/p>\n<p>Japan is Sweden\u2019s second largest trading partner in Asia.

We must do everything we can to get connections back, not least direct flights to various destinations, she says.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-35un1x-2b1101f0f1bb5796ff9f7cf92ed9d6ff-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-295  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='https:\/\/www.dn.se\/ekonomi\/forbindelserna-till-arlanda-minskar-rejalt\/'  class='avia-button av-35un1x-2b1101f0f1bb5796ff9f7cf92ed9d6ff av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-small avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color-subtle'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"Read the article (In Swedish only)\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Read the article (In Swedish only)<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-bf032t-0f41d941cade94ba46d9c4c18359a7b7\">\n.flex_column.av-bf032t-0f41d941cade94ba46d9c4c18359a7b7{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-bf032t-0f41d941cade94ba46d9c4c18359a7b7 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-296  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lqdy6s38-e25594f5f8f38e81e001645e9ded087a\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lqdy6s38-e25594f5f8f38e81e001645e9ded087a img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lqdy6s38-e25594f5f8f38e81e001645e9ded087a .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lqdy6s38-e25594f5f8f38e81e001645e9ded087a av-styling- av-img-linked avia-align-left  avia-builder-el-297  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dn.se\/ekonomi\/forbindelserna-till-arlanda-minskar-rejalt\/\" class='avia_image '  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label='Swedavia_Daniel Asplund'><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-8120 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-8120 avia_image ' src='https:\/\/www.connectsweden.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Swedavia_Daniel-Asplund.jpg' alt='' title='Swedavia_Daniel Asplund'  height=\"1278\" width=\"1227\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-36z5dx-d88a5f5aff238f38dc05c26012762c7a\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-36z5dx-d88a5f5aff238f38dc05c26012762c7a{\nheight:10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-36z5dx-d88a5f5aff238f38dc05c26012762c7a hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-298  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-81zinp-b43fc514e54d2dbdecb1ce62ef17033e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div style=\"font-size: xx-small;

The year ended on a strong note, especially at Stockholm Arlanda Airport, which in December posted its best passenger numbers for a single month since the start of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The passenger trend was mostly driven by strong demand for international flights at Stockholm Arlanda. Stockholm Arlanda Airport had more than 18 million passengers for the full-year 2022, an increase of nearly 150 per cent compared to 2021 and nearly 75 per cent of its pre-pandemic-volume in 2019.

But given that the last major rebuild of Arlanda took 20 years to complete, it is time to start now.<\/p>\n<p>Svedavia&#8217;s CEO, Jonas Abrahamsson, argues that it is possible to combine an expansion of Arlanda with reduced emissions, in part thanks to future goals with fossil-free fuels.<\/p>\n<p>The alternative to expanding Arlanda is that air traffic moves somewhere else.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I don&#8217;t think it is an exaggeration to say that aviation is essential for Swedish welfare, competitiveness and growth, says Jonas Abrahamsson.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-31cfdp1-cc7b1006c8f6c1dba3937c8315c69c52-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-459  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='https:\/\/www.di.se\/nyheter\/unik-inblick-sa-vill-wallenberg-stoppa-flygbraket-soker-stod-for-kompromiss\/'  class='avia-button av-31cfdp1-cc7b1006c8f6c1dba3937c8315c69c52 av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-small avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color-subtle'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"Read the article (in Swedish behind a paywall) \"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Read the article (in Swedish behind a paywall) <\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ucl602t-33ee8e7d9ffab5c7ee5f1c615361c786\">\n.avia-section.av-ucl602t-33ee8e7d9ffab5c7ee5f1c615361c786{\nbackground-color:#e0e0e0;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_44'  class='avia-section av-ucl602t-33ee8e7d9ffab5c7ee5f1c615361c786 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-shadow  avia-builder-el-460  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_two_third  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-6165'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-ua9lllx-0d49a26122479bfe8d666e88708faefc av_one_full  avia-builder-el-461  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-u98ysr9-3880b06d4f6e7a99de4b574ef4987ece '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">November 6,\u00a02018<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_44'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-6165'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-u7ekjdh-ebab3f5d443ef757a1ab6ca188813e4a\">\n.flex_column.av-u7ekjdh-ebab3f5d443ef757a1ab6ca188813e4a{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-u7ekjdh-ebab3f5d443ef757a1ab6ca188813e4a av_two_third  avia-builder-el-463  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_one_third  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-u5lxi85-06cba4dcce7f8163821b7dee3db5033e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>NEW AIRPORT VIP SERVICE INAUGURATED AT STOCKHOLM ARLANDA<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-30diy7p-23b96703917067264e742209d185ee52\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-30diy7p-23b96703917067264e742209d185ee52{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-30diy7p-23b96703917067264e742209d185ee52 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-465  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-u2sqo91-b1d742e68aa618df2d5e2f5d5875d312 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Stockholm Arlanda Airport will be developed into the leading airport in Scandinavia.

The airport is also Sweden&#8217;s fourth-largest train station. By 2035 the number of daily passengers at the airport will be about 100,000, most of them on the way to or home from international travel.

The number of international passengers was close to 2.2 million, which is an increase of nine percent compared to the same month last year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; One factor contributing to this growth is the fact that travelers can choose direct flights to more and more destinations, says Torborg Chetkovich, CEO of Swedavia.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-evr7zbp-eb79ceeca8f93e12e86398229e6e8842-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-796  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='http:\/\/www.mynewsdesk.com\/se\/swedavia\/pressreleases\/oekat-utrikesresande-i-oktober-1248184'  class='avia-button av-evr7zbp-eb79ceeca8f93e12e86398229e6e8842 av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-small avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color-subtle'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"Read the press release (in Swedish only)\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Read the press release (in Swedish only)<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1hbca6d-d1b397c54a933ac0933adb9b8c64f57b\">\n.avia-section.av-1hbca6d-d1b397c54a933ac0933adb9b8c64f57b{\nbackground-color:#e0e0e0;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_72'  class='avia-section av-1hbca6d-d1b397c54a933ac0933adb9b8c64f57b main_color avia-section-default avia-no-shadow  avia-builder-el-797  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_two_third  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-6165'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-erdabol-68b4a4676fc76c4e920a1951ce5a71d9 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-798  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-eqpprud-0b5394ffa5e167961be8efe7e2768842 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">August 19,\u00a02015<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_72'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-6165'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-enwcxth-ee6e4d7875975341966dd19e8c5ee123 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-800  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_one_third  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-emj7ltx-ae60857132eda149deb3cfa5d3a0ce24 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>NEW NON-STOP ROUTE STOCKHOLM \u2013 LOS ANGELES<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-eljtlmt-091cbae349523433ffa6d7c9c9501a45\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-eljtlmt-091cbae349523433ffa6d7c9c9501a45{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-eljtlmt-091cbae349523433ffa6d7c9c9501a45 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-802  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ej8yhnp-f82a34ebcd6480ff28ab3940d13b3829 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Today SAS announced one more long distance service from Stockholm Arlanda Airport.<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ehinwmt-9bbd611f286e09ef19301303fcab7bb8\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-ehinwmt-9bbd611f286e09ef19301303fcab7bb8{\nheight:10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-ehinwmt-9bbd611f286e09ef19301303fcab7bb8 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-804  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-efk1951-e395cf4cd664757710398a2bd7a57f35 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Beginning on March 14, SAS will start flying non-stop between Stockholm and Los Angeles.
