Just before 4 am, the problem was noticed, which meant that all baggage to be checked in had to be handled manually via the desks for special baggage.

The queue for baggage check-in was 500 meters long at most, according to a traveler who Aftonbladet spoke with.

By 6:30 am, the problem, which was due to a system failure, was resolved without any impact on air traffic.

It has gone fairly calmly, it lasted for a longer period, but it has not been chaotic in any way, says Roger Malmgren, communicator at Swedavia.
