It serves low-cost airlines and cargo operators. Stockholm-Skavsta Airport is Stockholm's second largest airport, and the third largest in Sweden, with 2.0 million passengers.

[edit] History

The airport was established as a military air base (F 11 Nyköping) in the 1940s and developed into a civilian airport in 1984. In 1997 the airport acquired its first international route to London Stansted, operated by Ryanair. In 2003 Ryanair established a hub at Stockholm-Skavsta with 6 new routes. After that Wizzair opened routes to Eastern Europe. For a short period in 2005, Finnair flew from Boston to Helsinki with a stop at Skavsta, but the airline has since moved the route to the larger Stockholm-Arlanda Airport.^[1] In May 2006 Fritidsresor started charter flights from the airport.
