Location

Arvidsjaur, Sweden

Arvidsjaur Airport (IATA: AJR, ICAO: ESNX) is a regional airport serving the town of Arvidsjaur in Lapland County, northern Sweden. It provides essential air connectivity for a remote community located well above the Arctic Circle, supporting both civil aviation and local industry. The airport is notably used by European automotive manufacturers for cold-weather testing of vehicles during winter months, as the region's extreme low temperatures and frozen lakes make it ideal for such trials. This brings significant seasonal traffic and economic activity to the area. Scheduled passenger services have historically been operated by regional carriers, though routes and operators have changed over time. The airport plays a vital role in linking Arvidsjaur to larger Swedish cities given the limited ground transport alternatives in this sparsely populated region.

Terminals

The airport operates a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes of a regional facility.
