Swedavia’s traffic statistics for February 2026: Demand for air travel continued to increase both internationally and domestically

Demand continued to strengthen for both international and domestic travel. International travel increased by six percent, while domestic travel increased by nine percent.

Improved connectivity and continued growth in demand for air travel generally contributed to the positive development during the month. Ongoing uncertainties in the surrounding world may impact traffic trends, although it is still too early to assess the extent.
