Location

Nyköping, Sweden

Stockholm Skavsta Airport is a regional airport located approximately 100 kilometres south of Stockholm, near the city of Nyköping in Södermanland County, Sweden. Despite its distance from the capital, it is marketed as a Stockholm airport and serves as an important hub for low-cost carriers operating across Europe. The airport has roots as a military airbase, having served the Swedish Air Force before transitioning to civilian use. It experienced significant growth in the 2000s largely due to the expansion of Ryanair operations.

The airport offers a relatively simple and compact passenger experience, with basic amenities suited to the budget-travel market it primarily serves. Ground transport connections to Stockholm city centre are provided via coach services, as the airport lacks a direct rail link.
