The Swedish capital has around six times more airports per capita than London!
When it comes to passenger traffic, the Swedish capital city of Sweden, Stockholm, is served by four different airports of varying shapes and sizes. Of course, this isn't by any means the largest number to serve a given city, as London, for example, has six such hubs at its disposal. Multi-airport cities are rare in Sweden - for instance, Gothenburg's second airport ceased handling commercial flights in 2015.
However, Stockholm's relatively small population for a European capital city (just 988,943 residents at the end of 2023, per citypopulation.de) means that it has one airport per 243,888 inhabitants. Meanwhile, for London, with a much larger population of 8,776,535, this figure is around six times higher, at one per 1.46 million! Let's take a look at Stockholm's various airports and the roles they serve.
