This page lists 4 retained airport records in our curated Sweden airport catalog with IATA and ICAO codes, city names, and local timezone information. Airport records come from OurAirports and timezone rules come from the IANA database. Click any airport for coordinates, elevation, the current local time, and nearby airports.
Content reviewed Apr 30, 2026. This airport index is reviewed as a curated reference surface. It does not claim complete aviation coverage for Sweden; it lists 4 retained airport records (4 large airports) across Europe/Stockholm.
Coverage note. This is an airport-reference index for timezone and travel planning. It focuses on retained large and medium airport records with usable codes and coordinates, not every runway, heliport, closed facility, or local landing strip. Airport service levels, terminal operations, route availability, and codes can change; verify with the airport, airline, NOTAM, or official aviation source before travel.
Country airport evidence
Why this Sweden airport page is retained
This page is classified as a compact gateway set. The evidence score comes from static source coverage: codes, airport facts, official domains, city-clock handoffs, IANA zones, operational facts, and country dossiers where present.
Code and entity coverage
4 IATA, 4 ICAO
4 retained records have airport-facts rows; 4 cite official airport domains and 4 carry Wikidata entity links.
Traffic and operation facts
3 passenger rows
3 records quote passenger-volume facts; 7 runway counts are aggregated where quoted; 4 records carry scheduled-service flags.
Timezone pattern
single airport-timezone cluster
The retained airport set resolves to one dominant local-clock pattern, but each airport still stores its own IANA identifier for DST-safe calculations.
Verification boundary
16 source URLs
Visible source hosts include swedavia.se, en.wikipedia.org, wikidata.org, ourairports.com, swedavia.com, skavsta.se, vasterasflygplats.se. These support identity and static facts, not live routes, terminal assignments, NOTAMs, or airline schedules.
Editorial status
manual dossier attached
Manual dossier sources are attached for country-level aviation context; point-in-time statements still defer to the linked authorities.

Traveler planning patterns
How to use Sweden airport data without overreading it
Start with the gateway layer
Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT) is the first retained airport to check for Sweden; then scan the 4 large and 0 medium records for regional alternates.
Keep airport-local time explicit
The retained airport set behaves like a single local-clock cluster, but the airport-specific IANA zone still matters around DST transitions and imported calendar events.
Use codes for the search, city pages for context
3 airport records link onward to vetted city-time pages, so a code lookup can become a local-clock, daylight, holiday, and meeting-time check.
Treat schedules as live elsewhere
4 retained records carry a scheduled-service flag, but route availability, airline service, terminals, and disruption notices are not live here.
Watch holidays and local operating days
Sweden has a holiday country page on this site, so use it alongside airport time checks for closures, public-holiday pressure, and ground-service planning.
Know what the passenger data covers
3 retained airports quote passenger-volume facts. Airports without a quoted figure are not ranked by traffic on this page.
Airport coverage patterns
How the Sweden airport index is structured
This page adds country-level context around airport counts, code coverage, timezone spread, and city-clock handoffs. It is built from the retained airport dataset rather than a live airline or aviation registry feed.
Coverage pattern
Only 4 airport records are retained for Sweden, mapped across 4 localities — a deliberately small set (4 large and 0 medium; 4 large airports) covering the airports most likely to anchor a city clock or travel check.
Code reliability
Every retained Sweden record carries both an IATA and an ICAO code (4 of each), so passenger-facing and aviation lookups resolve consistently across the set.
Timezone spread
Every retained airport in Sweden resolves to Europe/Stockholm (4), so the country's airport clocks move together and a single offset check covers the whole set.
Major airport examples
Standout anchors here include Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT) in Göteborg, Stockholm Skavsta Airport (NYO) in Nyköping, Stockholm Västerås Airport (VST) in Stockholm / Västerås, and Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (ARN) in Stockholm. Large airports lead the list because they are the most reliable hooks for travelers, city clocks, and cross-border time checks.
City-clock handoff
Airport records here hand off to indexable city pages such as Stockholm (ARN, NYO, VST). Handoffs are restricted to vetted city pages so the airport index does not spend crawl budget on thin local URLs.
Busiest airport
Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT) in Göteborg at 5.3 million passengers (2024) sits at the top of the curated passenger ranking for Sweden. Curated passenger figures are attached to 3 retained records on this page. Aggregated curated annual passenger volume across those records is 5.7 million. Numbers come from the airport-facts curation file and reflect the latest year quoted there, not a live traffic feed.
Regional peer comparison
Sweden has 4 retained airport records vs. Ireland 4, Belgium 3, Bosnia and Herzegovina 3 in the same continent. This is a structural comparison of retained-record counts, not an audit of national aviation policy or fleet size.
Operational depth
Across the retained Sweden set we have 7 curated runway records and 4 airports flagged with scheduled service. Operational facts come from the Wikipedia-derived airport-facts curation, which is sparse for smaller airports and not a substitute for the airport authority's own data.
Editorial dossier
Swedavia's ten airports handled over 32 million passengers in 2024 (+1% YoY). Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) is by far the largest; international travel grew 7% while domestic declined 10%, reflecting cost-of-living pressure and a structural shift to rail on short-haul Swedish routes. SAS (post-bankruptcy restructuring, joined SkyTeam in 2024), Norwegian, and Ryanair dominate. The Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) regulates; Swedavia is a state-owned operator.
Traveler boundary: use these records for timezone orientation and airport discovery. Verify live operations, route availability, terminal status, and NOTAM-sensitive details with official airport, airline, or aviation sources.

Time-zone span
Single-zone airport clock for Sweden
All retained airport records resolve to one IANA timezone (Europe/Stockholm, UTC+02:00 CEST with DST). Local-clock math is simpler here than in multi-zone countries, but the airport’s stored IANA identifier is still the authoritative reference for DST transition weekends.

These ranks reflect passenger volumes quoted in the curated airport-facts file; airports without a quoted figure are excluded from this card even if they may be locally busier.
Regional peer comparison
Sweden vs. Europe peers
Peers are picked by geographic proximity (same continent) and similarity of retained-record counts. Comparison is structural — it does not audit fleet size, national aviation policy, or passenger traffic.
