According to Swedavia, the company that manages the international airport, the congestion is due to the sharp increase in the number of passengers after the end of the Covid-19 pandemic alarm.
Traffic regulations had to be reached by the Stockholm authorities on Saturday in order to divert the traffic of vehicles heading to Arlanda International Airport, as the main terminal of the airport was flooded, resulting in huge queues.
From 4.30 pm (local time) the traffic police had proceeded with traffic regulations on the roads leading to the international airport. A short time later, it was announced that the high-speed connection between central Stockholm and Arlanda Airport would not stop at the main terminal, according to Swedish Television (SVT).
According to Swedavia, the company that manages the international airport, the congestion is due to the sharp increase in the number of passengers after the end of the alarm for the Covid-19 pandemic. It is also worth noting that Swedavia has had problems recruiting and training staff to staff the checkpoints.
Although this has been a problem for a few weeks now, the situation became extremely difficult on Saturday and Swedavia predicted that the congestion is expected to continue. “There will be a lot of workload in Arlanda this summer. If you can check in online, you’ll do well. “Otherwise, it’s good to watch when your airline opens check-in,” Swedavia’s spokesman David Carlson told Swedish television.
“We have noticed that travelers come here 6-8 hours before the departure of their flight, long before check-in opens. “And that exacerbates congestion.”
