Expansion not as expensive as Dagens Industri claims

On Friday, August 24, Swedish business daily Dagens Industri wrote about Arlanda’s expansion. The airport plans to complete the building between Terminal 5 and Pier F that was “trimmed” due to the sharp downturn in finances and air traffic a few years ago, but the project does not involve the amounts stated in the newspaper. The correct figure is about SEK 300 million.
However, the project does not involve the amounts stated in the newspaper. The correct figure is about SEK 300 million. Nor have the formal investment decisions yet been made. This process will take place during the autumn. The building will strengthen the airport’s offering and create better facilities for security checkpoints.
As the article states, the airport has carried out a major expansion in the number of security checkpoints in order to reduce queue time, which sometimes reached 15 minutes at rush hours during the summer. The airport is also engaged in a dialogue with airlines and ground handling companies on how we can work together to limit the length of queues to airline check-in counters before flights.
