The airport sits at an elevation of 137 feet above mean sea level and uniquely straddles the municipal border between the two cities, with the runway crossing the boundary while the terminal and hangars are situated in Vänersborg. Originally built to serve SAAB's aviation needs, the airport underwent significant modernization in 1984 with the construction of a new passenger terminal, control tower, and Instrument Landing System.
The airport operates with a single asphalt runway designated 15/33, measuring 1,710 meters (5,610 feet) long by 30 meters (98 feet) wide. Runway 15 is equipped with SALS approach lighting extending 420 meters and PAPI LED lights for visual approach guidance, with a threshold elevation of 136 feet. Runway 33 features Calvert Category I approach lighting extending 900 meters and also has PAPI LED lights, with a threshold elevation of 134.8 feet. The runway has a Pavement Classification Number (PCN) of 15 F/C/X/T, suitable for light to medium aircraft operations.
The terminal building houses passenger facilities including an airport café (reachable at +46-(0)520-52 49 50) and provides modern amenities for travelers. The airport offers convenient ground transportation options with parking facilities that include electric vehicle charging stations and bicycle parking areas near the terminal building. The apron surface is asphalt with PCN 15 F/C/X/T classification, connected by taxiways including Taxiway M (15 meters wide) and Taxiway S (7 meters wide) for aircraft ground movements.
Currently, the airport serves scheduled passenger operations through Västflyg, which commenced services in March 2022 using aircraft operated by NyxAir. Routes include connections to Stockholm Bromma Airport, Stockholm Arlanda Airport, and seasonal service to Scandinavian Mountains Airport. The airport represents a successful regional aviation facility that underwent expansion in 1983 when the municipalities of Trollhättan, Vänersborg, Uddevalla, and Lysekil formed Fyrstads flygplats AB to develop and operate the facility.

🏢 Terminal Information
Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) is Sweden's largest airport and a primary international gateway, located approximately 37 kilometers north of Stockholm. The airport operates with four terminals: Terminals 2 and 5 primarily handle international flights, while Terminals 3 and 4 are dedicated to domestic services. Terminal 5 is the largest, serving as the main base for SAS and accommodating the majority of international traffic. SkyCity, a central plaza located between Terminals 4 and 5, offers various amenities including hotels, restaurants, and shops, accessible to both travelers and the public.
Transferring between terminals at Arlanda is generally efficient. Airside walkways connect some areas, but movement between distinct terminal buildings often requires utilizing free shuttle buses or the Arlanda Express train (which is free for inter-terminal travel). For international travelers, especially those connecting between Schengen and non-Schengen areas, passport control points are strategically located, and extra time should be allocated for these procedures. Self-service kiosks for check-in and baggage drop, along with dual security controls in Terminal 5, contribute to a smoother passenger flow.
Arlanda Airport is recognized for its modern Scandinavian design and extensive amenities. Terminal 5 boasts a wide array of shopping options, from international luxury brands to local Swedish designs, complemented by numerous dining venues. Several airport lounges are available, including flagship SAS Lounges, Amex Centurion lounges, and Menzies facilities. For convenient transport to central Stockholm, the high-speed Arlanda Express train departs from stations directly beneath the terminals, reaching the city center in about 20 minutes.

Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) is a large and complex hub consisting of four terminals (T2, T3, T4, and T5) and the central SkyCity plaza. For travelers, 'connecting' at Arlanda is facilitated by several efficient transfer methods. Terminals 4 and 5 are physically connected by SkyCity, allowing for a 10-to-15 minute walk between gates without leaving the terminal complex. For transfers to Terminal 2, you can utilize the free Arlanda Express train service, which provides a one-minute landside link between the Arlanda South (T2/T3/T4) and Arlanda North (T5) stations. It is recommended to allow at least 45 minutes for intra-Schengen transfers and 75 to 90 minutes for connections involving non-Schengen destinations to account for potentially long queues at passport control. Airside transfers are also available via a dedicated free shuttle bus service. For Schengen-to-Schengen connections between T2 and T5, the bus stops at Gate 61C and Gate F5. For non-Schengen passengers, a specialized bus runs between Gate 70 in T2 and Gate F1 in T5, arriving within 20 minutes of a requested pickup. If you are 'self-connecting' on separate tickets, you must exit the secure area, retrieve your baggage from the automated carousels, and re-check in at your departing terminal. In such cases, allow at least 2.5 to 3 hours of buffer time, as Terminal 5 is Sweden's busiest and security wait times can fluctuate significantly during morning peaks. While waiting for a connection, SkyCity serves as the airport's social and commercial heart, offering a wide array of high-quality Swedish dining, international retail, and comfortable day rooms for longer layovers. For those heading to central Stockholm, the Arlanda Express departs directly from stations beneath the terminals, reaching the city center in
