Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) - Sweden - Airports on Waymarking.com

Stockholm Arlanda Airport is an international airport located in the Sigtuna Municipality of Sweden, near the town of Märsta, 37 km (23 mi) north of Stockholm and nearly 40 km (25 mi), by road, south-east of Uppsala.

It is the largest airport in Sweden, and the third largest airport in the Nordic countries, and the second busiest in terms of international passengers. The airport is the major gateway for international air travel in Sweden. Arlanda Airport was used by 17 million passengers in 2010, with 13 million international passengers and 4 million domestic.

The airport was first used in 1959, but only for practice flights. In 1960, it opened for limited passenger traffic, and in 1962 the official opening ceremony took place. It was used for intercontinental traffic already in 1960 since the runway at Bromma was too short. Scandinavian Airlines started using DC-8s on North american routes. The airport was also used very early by Pan American World Airways. The name Arlanda was decided after a competition prior to the airport opening. It is derived from Arland, an old name for the parish Ärlinghundra (now Husby-Ärlinghundra in Märsta) where the airport is situated. The '-a' was added in analogy with other Swedish place names ending with -landa, and also makes the name a pun on the Swedish verb "landa", which means "to land".

The airport has four terminals. Terminals 2 and 5 are used for international flights. Domestic flights are in Terminals 3 and 4. The new central building, Arlanda North, opened late 2003, connecting terminal 5 with the newly built Pier F. All international flights handled by SAS and its Star Alliance partners use the new central building.
