Location

Göteborg, Sweden

Säve Airport, officially known as Göteborg City Airport, is a secondary airport located in the Säve district, approximately 13 kilometres northwest of central Göteborg, Sweden. It has served as an alternative to Göteborg Landvetter Airport, historically handling low-cost and charter flights. The airport has a history rooted in military aviation, having previously served as a Swedish Air Force base. Over the years it transitioned to civilian use, accommodating passenger traffic alongside general aviation and freight operations. Passenger airline operations largely ceased in the early 2020s, and the airport shifted its focus to general aviation, aircraft maintenance, and cargo. Its future role has been subject to ongoing discussions regarding urban development in the surrounding area.
