Overview

Stockholm Arlanda Airport is Stockholm’s main airport and the largest and busiest airport in Sweden. It is located around 40 km north of the city of Stockholm. The airport was officially opened in 1962, although the first aircraft had landed there several years earlier. Arlanda is serviced by over 70 airlines with around 170 destinations. Around 26 million people pass through the airport annually. Arlanda is also an important cargo hub.

Procedures

IFR Clearance

At first contact with Clearance Delivery state type of aircraft, stand position and latest received ATIS transmission including identification letter and QNH.

If a different runway than the runway-in-use is required for performance reasons, this request shall be made in connection with the request for IFR clearance.

If unable to follow FMS/RNAV SID, inform ATC when requesting clearance. Expect to be assigned a SID and to follow the “unable RNAV SID instruction” given in the SID chart.

SID Assignment

Some SID designators are based on a point just before the first flight planned point. For example, if flight planned via ARS and departing RWY 19L the SID could be ARS 5E or ABENI 5Q. Be careful to fly the correct departure.
