Västflyg to launche a new direct route from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Trollhättan Vänersborg Airport starting October 2nd 2024
Focusing on increasing the connectivity to and from western Sweden, local air carrier Västflyg is to expand its offer of routes by launching a new direct route to Stockholm, this time to Arlanda Airport. Starting on 2 October 2024, Västflyg will operate the route between Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Trollhättan Vänersborg Airport twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays.
Already operating Bromma Airport from Trollhättan Värnersborg Airport, Västflyg will further expand and add another route serving the Swedish capital. Starting on October 2nd, they will operate Stockholm Arlanda Airport, further connection the western parts of Sweden with the capital, contributing to increased growth for business and offering a smooth transfer further out into the world.
- I’m very happy that Västflyg chooses to further expand and add another of Swedavias Airports to their offer. And a new domestic route is of course extra welcome, says Elizabeth Axtelius, Director Aviation Business at Swedavia. A strong domestic flight is essential for people to be able to meet across the country and have smooth connections to the rest of the world, whether traveling to meet friends and family, discover new places or on business, she says.
- We see that there is a strong demand to be able to travel from Trollhättan and further out into the world. Today, there are direct flights from Arlanda to many destinations that our immediate area cannot offer. This means that we are extra happy to be able to present Arlanda as a destination, which enables easier and faster travel for our customers, says Anna Petre, CEO of Västflyg.
The new direct line between Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Trollhättan Vänersborg will be operated twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Swedavia’s work for fossil-free aviation
Swedavia has carried out ambitious climate work for many years. All ten of its airports achieved the goal of zero fossil carbon dioxide emissions from their own operations by year-end 2020. Swedavia also works actively to promote the switch to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and has the goal that five per cent of all fuel used for refueling at Swedish airports shall be fossil-free by 2025. Swedavia’s climate transition work and its pioneering work to operate climate-smart airports have won international awards, and in 2021 the trade organization Airports Council International (ACI) named Stockholm Arlanda Airport Eco-Innovation Airport of the Year. Swedavia offers all passengers flying from one of Swedavia’s airports the option to purchase SAF for all or part of their journey via flygreenfund.se/swedavia.
Swedavia is a group that owns, operates and develops 10 airports throughout Sweden. Our role is to create the connectivity that Sweden needs to facilitate travel, business and meetings. Satisfied and safe travelers are the foundation of Swedavia's business. Swedavia is a world leader in the development of airports with the least possible climate impact. Since 2020, Swedavia's own airport operations have been fossil-free at all ten airports. The group's turnover in 2023 was approximately SEK 5.9 billion and approximately 2,600 employees.
