Swedavia’s interim report for January–June 2026: Improved operating income, more passengers and expanded routes

Continued growth in demand for air travel, despite an uncertain global environment, combined with increased commercial revenue, contributed to Swedavia’s improved earnings in the second quarter.

“Despite the turbulent global situation, passenger volume increased by nearly three per cent in the second quarter compared with the same period last year. Together with higher commercial revenues, this contributed to improved operating income compared with the same period last year,” says Mats Johannesson, Swedavia’s President and CEO.

Second quarter in numbers
Net revenue for the second quarter was SEK 1,943 M (1,789), an increase of SEK 155 M. Operating income for the quarter amounted to SEK 222 M (178), an improvement of SEK 43 M compared with the corresponding quarter of 2025. During the second quarter of the year, around 9.2 million passengers flew via Swedavia’s ten airports. This represents an increase of just under three per cent compared with the same period last year.

The number of international passengers increased by nearly four per cent, while domestic travel decreased by around one per cent compared with the same period last year. The range of routes and destinations continued to expand, both through Swedavia’s international and regional airports.
