Skavsta Airport risks bankruptcy if the municipality does not agree to act as a financial guarantor for the airport. If things continue as they are now, closure is just weeks away.

This is what Stockholm Skavsta's CEO Cédric Fechter says to SVT Sörmland.

– Due to the pandemic, we have lost a lot of money in 2020, he tells the channel.

The airport needs to take out a loan to survive, and to get a loan, support from the municipality is required. According to Fechter, discussions with the municipality about this are currently underway.

If the airport is closed, Coast Guard flights departing from there will be affected, among other things.
