This section separates stable airport identifiers from live operating data. Codes, coordinates, timezone, elevation, source identifiers, and accepted reference links are retained here; live arrivals, departures, gates, delays, NOTAMs, and airline schedule changes must still be checked with the airport or carrier.

Field and clock profile
Stockholm-Arlanda Airport is a near sea-level field at 137 ft (42 m), positioned at 59.6485° N, 17.9288° E in the Northern high mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 3 runways and a longest runway of 10,830 ft / 3,301 m. The airport clock uses Europe/Stockholm (CEST, UTC+02:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
City and airport alternatives
Märsta is the closest retained city-time anchor at 5.1 km. VST Stockholm / Västerås is the closest retained airport alternative at 73 km.
Country airport peers
ARN is compared with VST Stockholm / Västerås at 73 km, NYO Nyköping at 112 km, GOT Göteborg at 394 km inside the retained Sweden airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
Route geometry
ARN-VST Stockholm / Västerås: 73 km, about 56m, +0h. ARN-NYO Nyköping: 112 km, about 58m, +0h. ARN-OSL Oslo (Gardermoen): 385 km, about 1h 19m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies ARN as a large airport with scheduled service, which gives it stronger planning value than a code-only lookup.
ARN (ESSA) is a near sea-level field at 137 ft (42 m) in the high mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
ARN sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
ARN's runway record lists 3 runways, with the longest runway at 10,830 ft / 3,301 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt (3).
Swedavia is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for ARN.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at swedavia.se, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for ARN
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
ARN uses Europe/Stockholm (CEST, UTC+02:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Stockholm-Arlanda Airport is about 36 km from central Stockholm; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
VST Stockholm / Västerås is the closest retained alternate at 73 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
swedavia.se is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place ARN inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
ARN ranks #1 in the curated Sweden airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 4 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
ARN shares Europe/Stockholm with GOT Göteborg SE · NYO Nyköping SE · VST Stockholm / Västerås SE. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
ARN is 137 ft (42 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include EDI 135 ft (41 m) (2 ft delta) · LOS 135 ft (41 m) (2 ft delta) · NYO 140 ft (43 m) (3 ft delta) · NRT 141 ft (43 m) (4 ft delta) · ALC 142 ft (43 m) (5 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
ARN's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are VST 73 km +0h · NYO 112 km +0h · OSL 385 km +0h.

Airport Details
Timezone
Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Because the airport sits well outside central Stockholm, surface transfer planning matters almost as much as flight timing, especially for late arrivals and early departures.
Stockholm is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Stockholm-Arlanda Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from ARN, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.

Airlines and Network Role
Stockholm-Arlanda Airport does not have a long carrier list in the current source trail, so this page emphasizes the durable pieces travelers can safely use here: local time, field identifiers, nearby airports, and timezone differences.
The route timing references show the first cross-timezone planning burden after this airport: Stockholm / Västerås (VST), Nyköping (NYO), Oslo (Gardermoen) (OSL). Treat them as distance and clock cues, then verify flight availability with the carrier.
