Vision

Together we bring the world closer.

Mission

We at Swedavia shall create added value for our customers through attractive airports and access. Together with our partners, we are continuously developing our business.

Task

Swedavia’s task is to own, develop and operate the national basic infrastructure of airports – a system of airports that connects all of Sweden with the rest of the world

Strategic focus and financial targets

Operations are now being run in the form of a limited liability company, with the overall goal being the best long-term value creation possible. Swedavia also has the task of “working actively based on sound business principles to develop the transport sector and help achieve the transport policy goals set by the Swedish Parliament”. The strategic focus in order to achieve these goals is summarised in the points:

• Customer value shall increase for passengers, airlines and tenants. Swedavia shall actively develop its position in existing markets and look for new business 
• The number of non-stop destinations and frequencies shall increase
• Existing and new services related to airport operations shall be developed
• Safety, efficiency and sustainable development shall be integral to Swedavia’s operations 
• Swedavia shall be an employer characterised by a culture that continuously develops its employees and operations

Capital spending

As a State-owned company in the transport sector, Swedavia shall combine long-term viability and profitability. Swedavia will invest about SEK 1 billion in its operations each year. The aim of this capital spending is to:

• Raise the level of services in the terminals and thus non-aviation revenue 
• Increase capacity at the airports
• Ensure compliance with legal requirements, including those concerning the environment and safety

Opportunities and challenges

Swedavia’s strategy reflects the opportunities found in the aviation market in Sweden and around the world. Demand for flights internationally will increase, and metropolitan area airports will become even more important hubs. At the same time, the aviation industry faces long-term challenges that it must address: profitability, capacity and environmental impact.

Swedavia contributes to the profitability of the aviation industry through cost-effective, flexible processes. Bringing Sweden’s airports together in a limited liability company allows Swedavia to focus on its core activities and build an effective organisation that makes the most of customer trends, new technology and sustainable solutions.

Swedavia is driven by values, and employees adhere to its corporate values by being reliable, courteous, committed and innovative.

Swedavia shall provide a good experience and high customer value to airlines, passengers and tenants. Work with a focus on sound business principles and courtesy is underway throughout the organisation, based on Swedavia’s vision, values and strategies.

Swedavia has long been making contributions with its successful environmental efforts – a prerequisite for aviation and airports to be considered as having a natural role in a sustainable society. One area with the highest priority is climate work, which should be further intensified so that passengers can fly with a clear conscience. The role of aviation and airports in society must also be clarified in the discussion about the future of aviation.
