ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Malmö-Sturup 09-02-2023

Post by LifelinerOne »

Hej everybody!

despite having worked very regularly in Malmö over the last four years, I never ventured to the small Sturup Airport. Last week, I had to drop-off a colleague and took the opportunity to do some photography.

The airport is fairly small and has very distinctive yellow buildings, which gives it sort of an IKEA-look. Which I like :wink: There's not much passenger traffic during the day, mainly SAS, Flygbra, Sunclass, and WizzAir. The airport, however, is also used as a cargo hub and during the evening and night, various airlines like UPS, West Atlantic Sweden, and Zimex haul cargo in the dark. Malmö is also a base for Amapola Flyg and West Air, which also use the airport for maintenance.

I started spotting from the terminal. In the left-part of the terminal, near the check-in counters, there are large windows that overlook part of the apron. From here I could photograph the following:

1. Amapola Flyg Fokker 50F SE-MFD is seen here resting between cargo flights:

2. Next to the Fokker were two Zimex ATR72s, like this HB-AFW:

3. SAS A320neo SE-DOY is seen here ready for pushback and its flight to Stockholm-Arlanda:

4. Flygbra is operating several flights a day between Malmö and Stockholm-Bromma. Seen here is ATR72-600 SE-MKM arriving from Bromma:

At the right side of the terminal is a restaurant, which also features large windows and has an overview of the other side of the terminal and apron. The restaurant was closed but if you go outside to the same corner, there's a small observation deck that gives the same view.

5. From here, I was able to shoot this Metroliner EC-GJX of Flightline:

I then took the car for a drive to the hangar area. I parked near the Flight Club, from where I could photograph two stored ATPs from West Atlantic through the fence.

6. This West Atlantic ATP SE-MAJ has been stored at the airport since 28 August 2022:

7. Next to it, is SE-LPS, which has been stored here since 11 June 2022:

8. While walking around the fence, this Bell 429 Global Ranger SE-JPO was towed-out of the hangar and getting prepped for a flight. If you look closely, you can see that the driver is calling, which was one of their colleagues. These showed up quite soon thereafter and asked me why I was photographing their helicopter. They explained they are quite on high alert due to the war in Ukraine, them applying to NATO and apparently having some Russians roaming around their airports and power plants. After showing them my ID, my business ID-card, and a call to my employer I was allowed to continue... Anyway, quite some effort for just one picture :P

9. A little bit further down the apron was another Amapola Flyg F50, this one being SE-LFS:

10. Two more ATPs of West Air are stored at the same part, with SE-MAP the only one being able to be photographed of this duo. This particular aircraft has been parked here since 31 October 2022:

11. This all white Saab 2000 ES-NSI is operated by NyxAir and used for flying cargo:

12. And I end this set with another Amapola Flyg Fokker 50, the SE-LJY. This Fokker hasn't flown for over a year and has both engines removed. It's livery is a left-over from the time this aircraft was operated in Japan by Air Central-All Nippon Airways:

And that's it. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!

Cheers! :wave:
