Swedavia’s air traffic statistics for October 2024 show a 1% overall increase in passenger numbers compared to the same month last year, primarily driven by continued strong demand for international flights. While international traffic grew by 5%, domestic travel saw a decline of 7%.
International air travel remained the key growth driver, with over 2.2 million international passengers across Swedavia’s airports. Stockholm Arlanda, the country’s busiest airport, saw international traffic rise by 7%, reaching more than 1.7 million passengers. However, domestic travel at Arlanda decreased by 7%, reflecting a broader trend across Sweden.
At Göteborg Landvetter, international travel grew by 2%, but domestic flights dropped by 18%, contributing to a decrease in overall passenger numbers. Regional airports like Kiruna and Umeå showed stronger growth, while Malmö and Bromma Stockholm saw weaker results.
