Totally, 3.3 million passengers traveled through Swedavia's airports in July. This corresponds to an increase of two percent compared to the same month last year.

Domestic traffic accounted for the largest increase of seven percent, while the same figure for international flights was two percent.

The increasing demand has led to the opening of 15 new air lines during the summer, nine from Arlanda airport and six from Landvetter. Of these, six were to new charter destinations around the world.
