Swedavia June 2025 traffic report: Strong summer start with new routes and domestic growth

Swedavia’s ten airports saw over 3.2 million passengers in June 2025, up 1% from June 2024, signalling a robust start to the summer travel season. The increase was driven by a 7% rise in domestic travel and a 2% uptick in international travel. Traffic reached 84% of pre-pandemic (2019) levels.

Key Highlights:

• Stockholm Arlanda Airport:

  • Handled 2.3 million passengers, up 7% vs June 2024.
  • Domestic travel jumped 43%, and international rose 3%.
  • Arlanda reached 95% of 2019 levels.

• Göteborg Landvetter Airport:

  • 549,000 passengers, a 3% year-on-year increase.
  • International travel rose 2%, domestic 9%.
  • Overall traffic was 84% of 2019 levels.

• Strongest domestic growth came from northern airports:

  • Kiruna (+26%)
  • Luleå (+16%)
  • Umeå (+8%)

• Weakest performance: Bromma Stockholm Airport, due to a strategic airline shift toward Arlanda.

New Routes:

15 new scheduled routes launched in June:

• Arlanda: 9 new routes (e.g., Porto, Lyon, Istanbul, Keflavik)

• Landvetter: 6 new routes (e.g., Reykjavik, Milan, Dubrovnik)

6 new charter routes were also introduced from Arlanda, Landvetter, Malmö, and Luleå.

North America Connectivity:

• United Airlines resumed seasonal New York–Arlanda service.

• Air Canada resumed flights to Toronto, boosting transatlantic options.

Despite modest total growth, June marked a positive shift in domestic air travel trends and further recovery in international demand, especially ahead of the peak holiday period.
