The alarm was raised shortly after 10 a.m., when the activists climbed over a fence and entered the airport grounds.
The activists then staged actions both outside the airport and inside a private aviation terminal. Their aim was to stop private flights, which they believe “harm people and nature.”
A person is stuck to the nose wheel of an airplane, police spokeswoman Susanna Rinaldo said earlier on Saturday.
A demonstration was also taking place outside the airport.
According to airport operator Swedavia, there are no scheduled flights to or from Bromma that day.
By 3 p.m., the police had begun winding down their operation.
There are 19 people the police are dealing with, says police spokesperson Ola Österling.
Five of them have been arrested on suspicion of airport sabotage. The others have been reported for violating the Protection Act or disobeying police orders.
This is not the first time climate activists have targeted Bromma Airport. In May this year, two people received suspended sentences and daily fines for vandalism following a paint attack in September 2023. At the same time, 15 activists were acquitted by the district court.
On that occasion, red paint was thrown at a building, an airplane and several cars at the private aviation terminal.
