It serves low-cost airlines and cargo operators. Stockholm-Skavsta Airport is Stockholm's second largest airport, and the third largest in Sweden, with 2.5+ million passengers annually.
[edit] History
An airbase during the II World War, the airport was used as a military airport until 1980, when it was taken out of service. In 1984, the city council of Nykoping, where the airport is located, decided to take over its control and resume its activities. Therefore, in 1998, the council put 90% of the capital of the airport up for sale with the objective of strengthening its commercial management and enabling investments for its expansion. tbi acquired this parcel of shares and began the transformation of Skavsta, which has become the second airport of Stockholm and the favoured option for inhabitants who live in the south of the Swedish capital.
With 2.5 million passengers per annum, Stockholm Skavsta will reach 6 million passengers annually by 2020, according to the estimations made by the Director of Planning.
