Just over three million passengers travelled through Swedavia's ten airports in Sweden in October, which is an increase of 5 percent compared to the same month last year. Both international and domestic travel increased, up 6 and 3 percent respectively.
At Arlanda, Sweden's largest airport, growth was 9 percent. Just over 1.8 million passengers traveled abroad, which corresponds to an increase of 2 percent compared to October 2019, before the pandemic.

Just over 400,000 traveled domestically from Arlanda – an increase of 31 percent compared to October last year, but 13 percent fewer than the same month in 2019.
