During March, just under 2.5 million passengers travelled via Swedavia's ten airports. This time there is a slight decline compared to last year. This is to some extent due to external factors such as strikes and the temporary closure of Heathrow. International travel continues to have a stable development, while the downward trend for domestic travel continues. During April, new destination initiatives from Stockholm Arlanda Airport will also continue in connection with the summer traffic program.
In April, Ryanair will launch a new route to Sarajevo from Arlanda and Animawings will start a new direct route to Bucharest from Arlanda. During April, Delta Airlines will also resume its seasonal service to New York from Arlanda.
