Freight air transport revenue in Sweden 2010-2022

Over the years, Sweden has emerged as one the leading logistics markets not only in Europe, but also the world, owing to the robust investments in infrastructure. In fact, the country ranked second in the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index released in 2018. Additionally, the country’s strategic location enables flights to reach all major destinations in the Scandinavian region within a span of two hours, allowing for same-day distribution. Therefore, it isn’t surprising to see that revenues of the air freight transport industry are projected to grow from 187 million U.S. dollars in 2011 to 237 million U.S. dollars by 2022. As of 2019, the total number of air freight transport companies in the country amounted to 49, of which, 15 were scheduled freight transport enterprises and 34 non-scheduled.

The Stockholm Arlanda Airport is by far the largest airport, handling a freight volume of over 90 thousand metric tonnes in 2018, followed by the Malmo Airport and the Goteborg Landvetter Airport. On an average, the amount of air freight uplifted in the country was just under 12,000 metric tonnes in 2018.
