Gothenburg Landvetter Airport is an international airport serving the Gothenburg region of Sweden. The port is the second largest airport in Sweden after Stockholm-Arlanda. Landvetter is also one of the country’s leading ports for cargo transport.
The airport is named after the Landvetter district in the municipality of Härryda. It is located 20 kilometres east-southeast of Gothenburg and 40 kilometres west of Borås. It is operated by the national airport company Swedavia. Since the closure of Gothenburg City Airport for commercial operations, it is the city’s only commercial passenger airport.
Landvetter Airport has traditionally had two terminals, domestic and international, but these have been combined into one common terminal. In 2009, all baggage reclaim was moved to the international terminal, as all baggage had to be scanned under new regulations. In 2014 the two terminals were merged and all baggage was collected in the arrivals hall in the former international terminal. The transfer area with various shops, cafes and a restaurant has been accessible to all passengers since that year.
The VIP section of the airport, which is used for private jet flights, provides a service that is not available at other airports. The VIP section can be rented for wedding ceremonies.
