Air travel increased by one percent last month compared to October 2023.

The statistics refer to the number of passengers to and from Swedavia's ten airports in Sweden.

International travel increased by 5 percent on average. The increase for Arlanda in October was 7 percent.

However, domestic air travel decreased by 7 percent in October.

"Demand on the domestic market has been weak, particularly in southern Sweden, which contributes to a reduction in the number of departures", says Jonas Abrahamsson, Swedavia's CEO and President, in a press release.

Air travel via Swedavia's ten airports is now at 83 percent of the levels before the pandemic. For Arlanda, the corresponding figure is 91 percent.
