Update : Right after we pushed the article, AviationLads has put up a nice video featuring the scenery on YouTube Text description provided by the architects. Gothenburg-based architects Fredblad Arkitekter have designed a cultural center for the municipality of Härryda, near Landvetter Airport. The design is the result of a competition held in 2012 for a mixed-use building containing library, educational spaces for music and arts, as well as an auditorium. “We wanted the building to reflect the duality of its content. On the one hand, the day-to-day use of community library and educational rooms require pragmatic and robust spaces. On the other, the auditorium hosts festive and enticing spectacles. This was represented in the design by a difference in both form and material between the first two floors and the roof volume.” –Per Uhlin, architect. © Per KårehedExterior materials range from limestone on the entrance level façade, white render on the second floor, and brass sheets on the top floor and roof. The brass is a special alloy which contains aluminium together with copper and zinc. This ensures the golden color to last through the process of metal oxidation. Floor above level two is covered with sedum grass. © Per KårehedThe Cultural Center was inaugurated in January 2015 Interior design is made by Fredblad Arkitekter and was finished in March 2015 You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email Swedavia has appointed Anna Strömwall as the new airport director of Göteborg Landvetter Airport and as a new member of Swedavia’s group management team Once confirmed by the Swedish Transport Agency Strömwall currently works as the head of Swedavia’s consultancy unit and has previously worked as planning manager at APM Terminals and as head of security screening at Stockholm Arlanda Airport “I am really pleased Anna Strömwall is taking on the role as new airport director at Göteborg Landvetter Airport Her extensive experience in the sector and her leadership will be a useful addition to the development of Göteborg Landvetter as western Sweden’s international airport and as one of the world’s most climate-smart airports.” “It is incredibly fun and exciting to have the opportunity together with all the skilled and engaged employees at the airport to continue developing Göteborg Landvetter Airport in the same positive direction we are working in today.” who has been Göteborg Landvetter’s airport director since 2012 Ljunggren will assume a new position as director for markets and commercial development for Swedavia’s 10 airports and stay on as a member of Swedavia’s group management team “Ljunggren has made a strong contribution to Göteborg Landvetter’s favorable development over the years and to our enhanced collaboration with the region and businesses in western Sweden I look forward to continuing the close cooperation with her in her important new role driving the Swedavia Group’s commercial development forward,” added Abrahamsson Norwegian will launch six new routes ahead of the winter program of 2024/2025 with destinations new to Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Göteborg Landvetter Airport respectively Norwegian is to expand at both Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Göteborg Landvetter Airport ahead of the winter program 2024/2025 Norwegian will launch six new routes of which several is new destinations offered from the airports From Stockholm Arlanda the new destination Hurghada -

went on to the next stage of the process Stockholm Arlanda Airport has 600 employers and about 17,500 employees while Göteborg Landvetter Airport has about 100 employers and 3,500 employees The airports are therefore major employers in their respective regions and Arlanda is one of the largest workplaces in Sweden is currently undergoing a major expansion to meet the increasing number of passengers and tourists Construction works on the northern terminal expansion project started in May 2018. The expansion is a part of Swedavia’s goal to provide smoother and better travel experiences in the region and to become a key location for important meetings in Scandinavia The expansion will add a new seven-star hotel connected to the terminal a single security checkpoint for domestic and international passengers and a new baggage storage facility with larger X-ray equipment Swedavia plans to invest approximately Skr3bn ($345m) on the airport development during 2016-2025 The existing terminal served 6.76 million passengers in 2017 It is being redeveloped aiming to increase passenger comfort levels The redevelopment is designed to handle air traffic volume of up to 18 million passengers by 2070 The new terminal will extend over an area of 10,000m² and will incorporate three gates for airplanes and two for buses to the existing terminal enabling the separation of arriving and departing passengers A single security checkpoint will be provided at the terminal which will also feature a large arrival hall comprising two new baggage belts The expansion will also create a large baggage basement with room for new X-ray machine A BREEAM sustainability assessment will be conducted as part of the project in order to secure BREEAM certification with a good rating features a single passenger terminal with 20 gates and has space for approximately 40 aircraft The international airport currently covers approximately 90 non-stop routes across the world including 50 scheduled and 40 unscheduled charter flights The airport covers three continents and more than 21 countries with frequent flights to Tehran in Iran The airport is currently using renewable fossil-free aviation fuel to refuel aircraft Swedavia is also developing the Airport City at Landvetter airport in addition to the terminal expansion project the Airport City will be constructed in more than 1.7 million square metres of land near the Göteborg Landvetter airport It will be a new hub for logistics operations A proposed 60km railway line connecting Gothenburg and Borås will pass through a tunnel under the Göteborg Landvetter airport. The line will also provide an environmentally friendly alternative for commuting to and from the airport will operate the new seven-floored hotel at the airport The hotel is the second biggest project announced by Scandic in Gothenburg in 2017 Construction of the new hotel is expected to start in 2018 and is planned for completion in 2021 Plans are also being made to integrate the hotel’s public areas with the airport’s future check-in hall It can be easily accessed by private and business travellers alike due to its location abstract flags of the world’s countries will be included as part of the new hotel facade The international theme is enabled by the cantilevered roof of the building NCC, in partnership with Swedavia, secured a Skr760m (approximately $92m) contract for the terminal construction at Göteborg Landvetter airport. The contractual scope includes project engineering, preparatory works, and construction of the terminal Swedavia awarded a Skr454m ($55.62m approximately) contract to Peab for the construction of a new baggage garage Wingårdhs Arkitekter was awarded the contract for designing the hotel Swedavia works to promote the switch to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with its goal to have five per cent of all fuel used for refuelling at Swedish airports be fossil-free by 2025 There will now be a new opportunity to fly with a significantly lower carbon footprint when the first route using 50 per cent SAF is launched Braathens Regional Airlines (BRA) will fly twice weekly between Göteborg Landvetter Airport and Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport in France using renewable SAF biofuel The new route will thus be the most sustainable fuel-powered commercial route in the world “It is an important step towards fossil-free aviation that Volvo Group is now taking together with BRA and it is really gratifying that Göteborg Landvetter Airport has the privilege to welcome that here A blend of 50 per cent sustainable biofuel enables people to travel on business and at the same time reduce their carbon footprint Through various programs and collaborations Swedavia continues to encourage airlines to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and switch to sustainable biofuels” says Anna Strömwall airport director at Swedavia Göteborg Landvetter Airport Swedavia wants the travel of the future to be sustainable includes the goal to have domestic air transport be completely fossil-free by 2030 all aircraft that take off from Swedavia’s airports are to be fossil-free by 2045 “BRA has decided together with Volvo Group to fly using a 50 per cent blend of sustainable aviation fuel which is the highest possible blend allowed today for commercial aviation There is now discussion in the EU of a mandatory SAF quota in aviation The mandate is expected to be between 38 and 54 per cent by 2045 we will achieve a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of at least 40 per cent from day one We hope that this is only the beginning and that we will find many routes with similar solutions for the transition to more sustainable air travel using biofuel,” says Martin Erkenborn “We have a responsibility to future generations to make the transition to a more sustainable future We hope to be able to inspire other companies to do the same thing and to fly using a maximum percentage of sustainable biofuel We need to ensure that our employees at Volvo Group can work efficiently and meet others we will be able to achieve this in a more responsible way This is just one example of the value-creating partnerships that we set up as a company – throughout the ecosystem – to help achieve our climate goals,” says Andrea Fuder Swedavia strives for aviation to have the smallest possible environmental impact Biofuel contributes to a reduction in fossil carbon dioxide emissions by up to 80 percent Refueling with renewable biofuel thus creates continued conditions for more sustainable aviation air travel at Swedavia's ten airports increased by two per cent compared with September 2023 This increase was driven by continued strong demand for international travel International travel increased by four per cent while domestic travel decreased by three per cent domestic travel had a positive development during the month Arlanda and Landvetter had the strongest trend for international traffic with increases of six per cent and five per cent "Investments in efficient travel via Stockholm Arlanda Airport are important to ensure good connectivity throughout the country in the long term which has hada weak trend for several years is now also being concentrated at Arlanda is therefore natural.  A strong Arlanda is important both to ensure a strong connectivity as well as for the Swedish competitiveness," says Jonas Abrahamsson more than three million passengers flew via one of Swedavia's ten airports Air traffic in September was two per cent higher than September last year.  International air travel increased four per cent to over 2.3 million passengers while domestic travel decreased three per cent to just over 723,000 passengers Total passenger traffic at Swedavia's airports in September was about 82 per cent of pre-pandemic levels in 2019 served a total of just
