As of March 20, Swedavia's annual and sustainability report for 2023 is available on the company's website. In 2023, aviation continued to recover from the low traffic volumes of previous years, with new and old airlines returning to the airports and the majority of all flight routes and destinations restored. During the year, Swedavia continued to take new steps in the airports' transition to fossil-free aviation and in December, together with Gothenburg Landvetter Airport and Malm\u00f6 Airport, became one of five airport operators in the world to be certified at the fifth and currently highest level according to the industry's international industry standard, Airport Carbon Accreditation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Long distances should never be an obstacle for people to meet. Flying connects people, unites friends and family and makes it possible to share ideas, experiences and take part in new impressions from all corners of the world. Thus, flying contributes to increased understanding of people from other cultures and religions like no other form of transport and it is no exaggeration to say that flying thereby improves the conditions for an existence without war and unrest. Flying is simply needed to satisfy people's need to meet and we see that this need remains strong when we sum up 2023, writes Swedavia's President and CEO, Jonas <\/strong>Abrahamsson<\/strong>, in his CEO's words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past year, Swedavia has continued to take important steps to accelerate aviation's climate transition work, and the latest brand survey shows that more and more people associate Swedavia with sustainability. In December 2023, Swedavia became one of five airport operators in the world certified at the fifth and currently highest level, with Swedavia's second and third largest airports, Gothenburg Landvetter Airport and Malm\u00f6 Airport. Level five includes requirements for zero emissions of fossil carbon dioxide. Seven of the company's ten airports are certified at the second highest rating, ACA4+, according to the international industry standard for airports' climate transition work, Airport Carbon Accreditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 In 2023 and also in 2024, we have continued to collaborate with our customers and partners for fossil-free aviation. This year will be the fifth year in a row that we have implemented our incentive program for increased use of sustainable aviation fuel. The program means that Swedavia will reimburse up to half of the cost of refueling with sustainable aviation fuel. As in 2023, this year's program contains a pot of SEK 40 million, which is a doubling compared to 2022. Since the start in 2020, the program has involved a total investment of SEK 100 million, says Jonas Abrahamsson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arlanda is the hub of Sweden's basic range of airports and plays an important role in connecting Sweden and Sweden with the world.

\u2013 Over the past year, Swedavia has successfully launched a new state-of-the-art security checkpoint at Arlanda, the hub of Sweden\u2019s basic range of airports. The investment has paid off. In December, the average waiting time to pass through security was two minutes. This has contributed to a significantly improved passenger experience and is an important step in Arlanda\u2019s continued development. But more than that is required to improve the airport\u2019s competitiveness. It is in the national interest that the airport\u2019s competitiveness and continued development are ensured. Swedavia, other social actors and Sweden as a country need to act together, says Jonas Abrahamsson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
