'''Stockholm Arlanda Airport''' {{Airport codes|ARN|ESSA}}, is an [[international airport]] located in the [[Sigtuna Municipality]] of [[Sweden]], near the town of [[Märsta]], {{Convert|20|NM|lk=in}} north<ref name="aip_essa" /> of [[Stockholm]] and nearly {{Convert|40|km|0|abbr=on}}, by road, south-east of [[Uppsala]].

The airport is located within [[Stockholm County]] and the province of [[Uppland]]. It is the largest airport in Sweden, the third largest airport in the [[List of the largest airports in the Nordic countries|Nordic countries]], and the second busiest in terms of international passengers. The airport is the major gateway for international air travel in large parts of Sweden. Arlanda Airport was used by 19 million passengers in 2012, with 14 million international passengers and 5 million domestic.<ref name=statistics>{{cite web |url=http://www.swedavia.se/en/Start-page/Press/Statistics/?airport=ESSA&startdatesel=72&stopdatesel=83 |title=Statistics |publisher=[[Swedavia]] |archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/66F1OgcPt |archivedate=17 March 2012 |deadurl=no |accessdate=17 March 2012}}</ref>

Stockholm Arlanda Airport is the largest of the four major airports located in or near Stockholm ([[Stockholm-Bromma Airport|Stockholm-Bromma]] within the city, [[Stockholm-Skavsta Airport|Stockholm-Skavsta]] in [[Nyköping]] about {{convert|100|km|mi}} to the south and [[Stockholm-Västerås Airport|Stockholm-Västerås]] located in the city of [[Västerås]] about 100 kilometres to the west).

==History==
[[File:ARNterm2.jpg|thumb|Terminal 2 with the control tower in background]]
[[File:A380LHnr7small1200.jpg|thumb|[[Airbus A380]] landing at Arlanda´s runway 19R]]
The airport was first used in 1959, but only for practice flights. In 1960, it opened for limited civil 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 [[Douglas DC-8]]'s 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 play on the [[Swedish language|Swedish]] verb "landa", which means "to land". The 1960s and 70s saw increases in traffic with scheduled traffic and charter traffic. The Boeing 747 jumbojet was started to be used in the 1970s both on one stop scheduled flights to New York and on weekend nonstop charters to the Canary Islands. Domestic flights to Gothenburg, Malmö, Luleå and Kiruna were operated by SAS [[DC-9]]s from Arlanda since they were considered too noisy to be used at downtown Bromma. The rest of domestic traffic operated out of Bromma and all international traffic out of Arlanda.

In 1983 the domestic traffic operated by Linjeflyg moved from Bromma to Arlanda, using the terminal now known as Terminal 4. In 1990 two new domestic terminals called "Domestic 2 and 3" were built south of the first domestic terminal. In 1992 the terminal 2 was partly abandoned because of traffic decrease. It started to be used for international traffic the year after, and the main domestic and international terminals are renumbered into 4 and 5.The third runway was built 1998-2002. However, a recession in 2002 delayed till opening until 2003. At that time protests were raised by people living under its [[flight path]] in the municipality of [[Upplands Väsby]]. Traffic has recovered since and is now showing healthy increases but the third runway is only used during peak hours for environmental reasons. In September 2010 the first [[Airbus A380]] superjumbo landed at the airport.<ref>[http://www.flightglobal.com/airspace/blogs/dizzy/pages/a380-at-arlanda-15-sept.aspx Business Jet news blog]{{Dead link|date=March 2012}}</ref>

==Terminals==
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 [[Scandinavian Airlines|SAS]] and its [[Star Alliance]] partners use the new central building. An Arlanda South building, connecting terminals 2, 3 and 4, was also planned, but construction is currently suspended due to lack of funds.

;Terminal 2 – International (Arlanda South)
:*Terminal 2 was initially built for use by SAS as a domestic terminal. The terminal was designed to enable short turnaround times for aircraft and increased efficiency. The design also gave short walking distances from the entrances to the building and to the aircraft. Some ramp equipment previously on vehicles was built into the tarmac. Passenger loading bridges connecting the aft passenger stairs on the MD-80 passenger plane were constructed. Innovations and tailor-made design for the intended domestic services made the terminal costly. However SAS decided to leave the terminal because of decreases in passenger traffic on domestic routes. For a while the terminal was used by other airlines like Transwede Airways for both domestic and international services but now the terminal is only used for international flights. Terminal 2 has 8 aircraft parking stands with passenger bridges.
:*As of 29 May 2012, Norwegian relocated its international flights from Terminal 2 to Terminal 5 ousting Air France and Czech Airlines to Terminal 2.
:*In April 2013, British Airways and Finnair relocated to the newly renovated Terminal 2.<ref>{{cite web|title=Swedavia inviger nya Terminal 2 på Arlanda|url=http://www.swedavia.se/arlanda/om-stockholm-arlanda-airport/om-flygplatsen/nyheter/swedavia-inviger-nya-terminal-2-pa-arlanda-/|publisher=Swedavia|accessdate=29 April 2013|date=23 April 2013}}</ref>

;Terminal 3 – Regional (Arlanda South)
:*Terminal 3 was built in 1990 for regional aircraft. People walk outdoors from the gates and board the planes with airstairs.

;Terminal 4 – Domestic (Arlanda South)
:*Terminal 4, formerly '''Inrikes 1''' was originally designed for the Swedish domestic carrier [[Linjeflyg]], and initiated in 1983. [[Linjeflyg]] and [[Scandinavian Airlines]] moved all operations from Stockholm-Bromma Airport to the new terminal at [[Arlanda]] in 1984. This was made to assemble the domestic and international departures between [[Scandinavian Airlines]] and [[Linjeflyg]]. Because of increasing popularity, the terminal soon got too small. For that reason [[Stockholm-Arlanda Terminal 2|Inrikes 2]] was set up for [[Scandinavian Airlines|SAS]], who moved all domestic flights from Inrikes 1 to the new terminal in 1990.
:*Because of a recession in Swedish economy [[Scandinavian Airlines|SAS]] moved back in 1992, and again the two carriers shared the terminal. Also in 1992 the terminal got a new name, Terminal 4. Since 1999 the terminal has had its own express station for high-speed trains, connecting the terminal with Stockholm Central Station and Terminal 5. In 2006, the terminal underwent a major renovation, the first since it was built in 1983.

;Terminal 5 – International (Arlanda North)
:*Terminal 5 is the largest of the passenger terminals at the airport and in use for international flights. All intercontinental flights and other international flights, except those in terminal 2, operate from terminal 5. The terminal has three piers equipped with 31 aircraft parking stands with passenger bridges. There are also a number of remote aircraft parking positions serving this terminal. Terminal 5 has restaurants, bars and shopping areas. The first stage of the terminal was inaugurated in 1976. Terminal 5 has since been expanded with a new passenger pier F. In addition to the scheduled services listed, all charter flights are handled at Terminal 5. The terminal is like terminal 4 and Sky City connected with Stockholm Central station with high speed trains.

==Cargo facilities and operations==
Stockholm Arlanda has an extensive cargo flight activity. There is a cargo area with cargo terminals and cargo transit facilities in the southern part of the airport area. This cargo area is labeled "Cargo City" with warehouses operated by Cargo Center,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cargocenter.se/ |title=Cargo Center |publisher=Cargocenter.se |date= |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref> DHL, Swedish postal service (Posten) and Spirit Air Cargo.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.spiritaircargohandling.com/ |title=Spirit Air Cargo |publisher=Spiritaircargohandling.com |date= |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref> A large part of mail and express parcels from Sweden is handled through the facilities at the airport.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bewator.com/se/applications/posten_arlanda/ |title=Bra logistik och hög säkerhet gör Posten till en stark aktör |publisher=Bewator.com |date= |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref> SAS Cargo has its cargo operation east of the passenger terminals close to the SAS hangars.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.arlanda.net/Foretag/Foretag-pa-Arlanda/SAS-Cargo-Terminal/ |title=SAS Cargo Terminal |publisher=Arlanda.net |date=2012-01-12 |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref> Dedicated scheduled cargo flights are operated by Korean Air with Boeing 747 cargo aircraft, as well as [[Lufthansa Cargo]] and [[Turkish Airlines]]. DHL, FedEx and UPS operate express freight services at the airport. West Air Sweden and Amapola operate shorter cargo sectors. A number of airlines operate ad hoc cargo flights with various equipment. Outsize cargo is frequently hauled with the [[Antonov An-124|Antonov 124]] and similar cargo planes. TNT had their operations at Arlanda but have since moved to Västerås Airport.

==VIP flights==
[[File:Stockholm-Arlanda Airport plane.jpg|thumb|Vladimir Putin on a visit]]

Arlanda, as the main airport serving the Swedish capital, is also used by VIP-flights<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.arlanda.se/en/Information--services-to/Business/VIP-service/VIP-service-private-flight/ |title=VIP service for those travelling on their own private aircraft |publisher=Arlanda.se |date= |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref> using [[business jets]]. Government officials and celebrities are frequent visitors. In April 2011, the then-[[Chairman of the Russian Government]] [[Vladimir Putin]] visited Stockholm with a [[Russian presidential aircraft|couple of large jet airplanes]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.airliners.net/photo/Russia-State-Transport/Ilyushin-Il-96-300/1913721/L/ |title=Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir Putin is taking off runway 08 after a visit to Stockholm to meet the King of Sweden and Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt |publisher=Airliners.net |date=2011-04-27 |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref> The [[Emperor of Japan]] has also visited Arlanda with his [[Boeing 747]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=5723408 |title=Japan – Air Self Defence Force (JASDF) |publisher=Jetphotos.net |date= |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref> In September 2013, [[U.S. President]] [[Barack Obama]], made an official visit to Sweden with ''[[Air Force One]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2013/09/04/president-obama-visits-sweden |title= President Obama visits Sweden |publisher= [[whitehouse.gov]] |date=2013-09-04 |accessdate=2013-09-27}}</ref> EU-meetings and exhibitions in the Stockholm area also bring special flights to the airport. Various private companies use their business jets to attend meetings in the Stockholm area. Some VIP-flights also go to downtown [[Bromma Airport]], but since Bromma has limited operational hours many go to Arlanda instead. European Flight Service has a [[Gulfstream G500/G550|Grumman Gulfstream]] G550 based at Arlanda for VIP flights.

==Airport layout==

[[File:Arlanda 1 Publish.jpg|thumb|Overview of Stockholm Arlanda from north]]
Arlanda has three [[runway]]s: Runway 1 (01L/19R), Runway 2 (08/26), Runway 3 (01R/19L). Runway 3 is {{Convert|3301|m|0|abbr=on}} long and can handle take-offs and landings of the heaviest aircraft in use today. Runways 2 and 1 are {{Convert|2500|m|0|abbr=on}} long. As indicated, runways 1 and 3 are parallel runways that can be operated independently of one another. Runway 3 is equipped with [[CAT III]] for instrument landings. The airport can handle simultaneous take offs and landings using runways 1 and 3 at the same time. Parallel takeoffs and landings can be performed in [[Instrument meteorological conditions]], (IMC). Runway 3 (01R/19L) is reached from the main terminal area via taxiway bridges constructed to be able to handle the heaviest and largest airplanes in traffic. Since runway 3 (01R/19L) is located at a distance from the terminals a deicing area is placed close to the runway to avoid too long time between deicing and take off in winter conditions. Another deicing area is located in connection with the southern ramp area close to take off positions at runway 01L. There are high speed taxiway exits from all runways, except runway 08, to enable aircraft to exit the runways quickly after landing. This increases runway capacity during rush hours. Use of parallel taxiways around the terminal area separates arriving and departing traffic.

Arlanda has 5 terminals for [[air cargo]] and 5 aircraft [[hangar]]s. The number of aircraft parking places is approximately 100. Arlanda has been listed as one of the many emergency landing sites for [[NASA]]'s [[Space Shuttle]]<ref>{{cite web|author=John Pike |url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/space/facility/sts-els.htm |title=List of Space Shuttle emergency landing sites at |publisher=Globalsecurity.org |date=2011-07-20 |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref> (most likely on account of its relatively long main runway). Arlanda can handle all aircraft types in service including the [[Airbus A380]].

==Winter time operations and snow clearing==
Since its opening Stockholm Arlanda has always managed to continue its operations during heavy snowfall and difficult weather.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.infrastructures.com/0310/arlanda.htm |title=The World's Fastest Snow Plow |publisher=Infrastructures.com |date= |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref> The airport administration claims to be world-leading at clearing snow from the runways. Arlanda has a policy to never close due to snowfall.<ref name="snowrem">{{cite web|url=http://www.arlanda.se/en/Information--services-to/Press/Facts/Snow-removal/ |title=Snow removal |publisher=Arlanda.se |date= |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref> Heavy snowfall can however cause delays. During heavy snowfall at least one runway stays open but in bad weather condition there may be delays even if flight operations continue at all times. Not just runways need to be cleared, aprons and aircraft parking areas need snow clearing as well. The airport has a total of 250 000 m<sup>2</sup> to clear from snow and ice, at the same time as the aircraft continue taking off and landing.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.arlanda.se/en/Information-about/About-the-airport/Filmer/World-class-snow-removal-at-Stockholm-Arlanda/ |title=World-class snow removal at Stockholm Arlanda |publisher=Arlanda.se |date= |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref> During the colder half of the year Stockholm Arlanda has about 65 seasonally hired snow removal staff. Together with permanent staff, they form a team of 100 people who provide snow removal services. Special routes are planned for sweeping teams, which clear each route at intervals of 35 to 45 minutes. The sweeping teams are directed via radio from the air traffic control tower. When snow removal is completed on each runway the surface is tested by a friction vehicle which measures friction value. The airport announces the friction value, and then it is each pilot who decides whether this value is sufficient for a landing. The friction value determines how often a runway must be ploughed and treated with anti-skid agent.<ref name="snowrem"/>

==Aircraft hangars and maintenance facilities==
[[File:TUIflyNordic767-300ERinArlandahangarl1200.JPG|thumb|Boeing 767-300ER in TUIFly Nordic hangar at Arlanda]]
[[SAS Technical Services]], [[TUIfly Nordic]] and Priority Aero Maintenance.<ref name="priority.aero"/> have large aircraft hangars and maintenance facilities at the airport. SAS Technical Services is headquartered at Arlanda and has hangar facilities suitable for widebody aircraft up to the size of Boeing 747-400s. The first part of this hangar complex was built to handle SAS' fleet of DC-8s. There are a number of positions on each side of the building initially built to handle this type. The hangar space are nowadays mostly used for Boeing 737s and MD-80s. The Boeing 747 hangar was inaugurated at the time when Scandinavian Airlines received their first Boeing 747s in the beginning of the 70s. It is large enough to handle a Boeing 747 and two MD-80 size airplanes at the same time. The offices of [[SAS Technical Services]] are situated in connection with the hangars. In the early days of the airport these hangars provided heavy maintenance for members of the KSSU group<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.afiklmem.com/AFIKLMEM/en/g_page_tabs/GlobalSolutions/BoeingAircrafts/GlobalSolutions_BoeingAircrafts_747.html |title=Air France KLM Group |publisher=Afiklmem.com |date= |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref> which included KLM, SAS, Swissair and UTA. A number of other airlines, such as Thai Airways International, also maintained their aircraft in those hangars. Now the main user is Scandinavian Airlines. TUIfly Nordic has a hangar able to handle their largest aircraft which is the Boeing 767-300ER. Priority Aero Maintenance has its facilities in the eastern part of the airport. They provide heavy aircraft maintenance for a number of aircraft including MD-80 which is a common type to be overhauled by the company.

There is also a hangar in the southern part of the airport that was built by the former Swedish domestic airline [[Linjeflyg]]. This hangar is mainly used by regional aircraft.

Helicopter hangars and maintenance facilities are found at the very eastern part of the airport operated by Patria Helicopters.<ref name="swedishaviationgroup.com"/>

==Ground transportation==

===Stockholm===

====Rail====
{{Stockholm-Arlanda Airport rail services}}
The fastest way to the airport from [[Stockholm Central Station]] is the [[Arlanda Express]] high-speed train service, making the trip in just 20 minutes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.swedavia.com/arlanda/to-from/train/ |title=Trains &#124; Stockholm Arlanda Airport |publisher=Swedavia.com |date=2011-12-02 |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref>
[[File:Arlanda Express X3.JPG|thumb|Arlanda Express]]

Beginning on December 9, 2012, it is now also possible to use the Greater Stockholm Local Transit ([[Storstockholms Lokaltrafik|SL]]) commuter rail service ([[Stockholm commuter rail|Pendeltåg]]) between Uppsala C and Stockholm C. This route is expected to take 38 minutes in between the Arlanda C station to Stockholm C, and 18 minutes to Uppsala C.<ref name="sl.se">{{cite web|url=http://sl.se/sv/Om-SL/Nyheter/Ny-pendeltagslinje-till-Arlanda-och-Uppsala-startar-pa-sondag/ |title=Nu startar pendeltågslinjen till Arlanda och Uppsala – AB Storstockholms Lokaltrafik |publisher=Sl.se |date=2012-11-29 |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref>

====Bus====
[[Flygbussarna]], [[Swebus]] and [[Storstockholms Lokaltrafik|SL]] operate coaches to and from the airport which stop at several locations in northern [[Stockholm County]] as well as [[Stockholm City Centre]] and [[Stockholm Central Station]]. There is also a local bus line no 583 to [[Märsta]], from where there are local trains to Stockholm and surroundings, the cheapest way of getting to/from Stockholm.

====Taxi====
All taxi companies are required to offer fixed prices when going from the airport, which takes away the guess-work of how much the fare will cost (one can still request use of the taxi meter). Most major companies also offer fixed prices to the airport.

===Uppsala and further north===
Beginning on December 9, 2012, it is now possible to use the Greater Stockholm Local Transit ([[Storstockholms Lokaltrafik|SL]]) commuter rail service ([[Stockholm commuter rail|Pendeltåg]]) between [[Uppsala]] and Stockholm. This route is expected to take 18 minutes from Arlanda Central to its [[Uppsala Central Station|Uppsala C]] terminus.<ref name="sl.se"/>

Buses operated by ''Upplands Lokaltrafik'' travel between Stockholm Arlanda Airport and [[Uppsala]] (bus no. 801 and 802) as well as [[Enköping]] to the west (bus no. 803).

Long-distance trains called [[Inter-city rail|Intercity]], Regionaltåg (Regional train) or [[X 2000|X2000]] operated by [[SJ AB|SJ]] go to locations north of Stockholm Arlanda Airport and south of Stockholm. Passengers are not permitted to use long-distance trains to go to the [[Stockholm Central Station]]; no such tickets are sold.

===Airport parking===
Terminal parking, short-term and long-term parking is available at the airport. The low price long-term parking requires a free shuttle bus ride. The bus departes every 8–15 minutes.

==Environment==
{{unreferenced section|section|date=December 2010}}
There is an ongoing work to limit Arlanda's negative impact on the environment. In an effort to save electricity, buildings at Arlanda use [[district heating]] with biofuels and [[district cooling]] with water from a nearby lake. The take off charges for aircraft are partly based on the environmental performance of the aircraft and Arlanda is experimenting with Continuous Descent Approaches and landings, often referred to as "green landings".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.idg.se/2.1085/1.1383 |title="Gröna landningar" gör världspremiär på Arlanda |publisher=Idg.se |date= |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref> [[Jet fuel]] is since around 2006 delivered by boat to [[Gävle]] and via train to Brista close to [[Märsta]] and from there through pipeline. Previously fuel was delivered by ship to Värtahamnen in Stockholm and then by trucks through Stockholm city to Arlanda. The airport also takes measures to promote the use of [[bio fuel]] in taxis operating to and from the airport.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.arlanda.se/en/Information--services-to/Press/Press-releases/Stockholm-Arlandas-taxi-system-wins-another-environmental-award/ |title=Stockholm-Arlanda's taxi system wins another environmental award |publisher=Arlanda.se |date= |accessdate=2013-04-13}}</ref>

One of the most interesting eco-friendly systems Stockholm Arlanda Airport uses is their unique heating and cooling system for their hangar, terminals, and other buildings on the airfield. There innovative system uses a series of wells which are linked to a large underground aquifer. The water from this underground source is plumbed up and into the facilities air system which controls the temperature of the air coming from the vents. In the summertime, the underground water remains cooler than the surface. This allows the terminals to be cooled off without using extra energy that an air conditioner would require. Then, in the winter months, the underground water remains warmer than the surface. The water is then plumbed to a control/heating unit which uses bio-fuel to heat the water to a temperature appropriate for warming up the buildings. This heated water is also used to heat pads of cement on the ramp and near the large hangar doors. This is a very efficient way to keep the doors and ramps clear of ice. After the water is run through the system, it is then all replaced back into the aquifer to be used again. The unique aquifer system is one of Arlanda's most defining environmentally friendly designs.<ref>Swedavia. (2012).
