The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 8,468 ft / 2,581 m.

Country airport peers
VST is compared with ARN Stockholm at 73 km, NYO Nyköping at 90 km, GOT Göteborg at 331 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.

These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at vasterasflygplats.se, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for VST
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
VST uses Europe/Stockholm (CEST, UTC+02:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Stockholm Västerås Airport is about 86 km from central Stockholm / Västerås; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
ARN Stockholm is the closest retained alternate at 73 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
vasterasflygplats.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 VST inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.

Airport Details
Timezone
Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Because the airport sits well outside central Stockholm / Västerås, 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 Västerås 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 VST, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
