The proposal has received a yes from a majority of the members and will be taken up in the traffic committee in May, writes Upsala Nya Tidning.
With the name change, Axén Olin hopes to give a boost to the Swedish economy.
The Swedish tourism industry has enormous potential, but it's going badly and bleeding. Here we must examine ourselves, what paths can we find to lift it? A name change of Arlanda to Alfred Nobel Airport is a good way to go, says Kristina Axén Olin to the newspaper.
The whole world knows the Alfred Nobel brand and the Nobel Prize. It would bring attention and everyone would associate the airport with Sweden. It would also contribute to an increased interest in Sweden and Swedish tourism.
