Arlanda is Swedens busiest airport. Among a busy domestic SAS network, which includes Skyways, a lot of European airlines can be seen here. As Copenhagen is the main SAS intercontinental hub, only two SAS widebodies are flying from Stockholm. During the late evening and early night about eight Westair Sweden flights are using the stands of T3 for their cargo activities. Other cargo airlines flying here are FedEx, UPS, DHL, TNT and Falcon Air (passengers during daytime as well). A lot of flights from Finland can be seen here, these are operated by Air Botnia (Saab 2000 and RJ85) and Finnair (DC-9-51, MD-80, A319/320/321 and ATR72). Highlights also include the Estonian and Air Baltic Fokker 50, Lithuanian Saab 2000 and a variety of types of Belavia.

The Terminal
|
|
There are four terminals (2, 3, 4 and 5). Terminal 2 and 5 are in use for international traffic. Terminal 3 for Skyways domestic flights and nightly Westair Sweden cargo flights. Terminal 4 is the SAS domestic terminal. As T3 is domestic, you are allowed to walk into the pier to the end, this gives you a good view of the south hangar area, T2, the south side of T4 and the cargo area. Inbetween T4 and T5 is the SkyCity building, where the Radisson Hotel and a lot of shops and restaurants are located. From here you have an excellent view of the other side of T4 and the south stands of T5. In T5, in the middle on the upper level, is also a restaurant which offers good views of the aircraft parked in front of T5 and traffic on runway 08/26.

Around The Airport
|
Landing 01L
|
|
When 01L is in use you can stand near the landing lights of this runway. There are spots on both sides, so no problem with the sun.
|
Cargo Area
|
|
From the cargo area you have a clear view of Terminal 2 and part of T3. There are numerous photospots along the fence, and when they use 01L for departures, good shots can be taken from here. Also there are possibilities to shoot the parked cargo aircraft. When the new runway is in use, the southern taxiway passes right by.
|
Hangar Area
|
|
There are a few places between the hangars to see the parked aircraft. There is a good spot with clear view and photo possibilities of the ramp with smaller international traffic in front of the large SAS hangar. At the far end is also an appron where bizjets are parked, here also two of the stored Caravelles are usually parked. In between the hangars is the northern taxiway to the new runway. Along this taxiway there are a lot of good spots on either side to take pictures.
|
Landing 28
|
|
If you continue along the road you reach the landing of runway 28. Here you can take good landing shots on both sides of the approach lights. There are also a couple of places along the side of the runway in the woods, but you will need a small step to get over the fence.
|
Runway 01R/19L
|
|
When the are using this new runway, there are good places to take pictures at the threshold of 19L near the Ibis hotel.

The cheapest way is to take a Flygbus from Stockholm Central Station (and some other stops) to the airport, they run frequently during the whole day. Another way is to take a special train services from Central Station.

SE-DAA
|
This is the first of the four Caravelles currently at Arlanda. This one is in use as a towing targer. The cockpit has been removed to fit behind the new tow trucks.
|
|
SE-DAF
|
The second one is the one of the local, now closed, air museum. As does her sister -DAA, she carries the old Scandinavian Viking scheme. Currently these two are parked at the far end of the appron to the east.
|
|
SE-DEC
|
The third is in the worst condition, it lays on its belly as a fire training object near the end of runway 19R, behind a building. This one is hard to see from the terminal.
|
|
SE-DAI
|
The last one is in pretty good shape as it is the property of the Caravelle Club, who wants to make it airworthy again for demonstration flights
|
|
SE-CNK
|
This Viscount is well hidden behind the trees opposite the terminal and very hard to see. It is in use by the local fire department.
|
