About Stockholm Arlanda Airport
In the late 1950s it became obvious thatStockholm Bromma Airportwas too small to serve international flight traffic to Stockholm, so a new airport was constructed and Arlanda was inaugurated in 1962. The name is derived from "Arland", an old name for the parish "Ärlinghundra" where the airport is, and also makes as a pun on theSwedishverb "landa" (landing). It is in the small town ofSigtuna, about half-way between Stockholm, by far the largest city in Sweden, andUppsala, the fourth largest city in the country. The airport has four terminals called Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5. The main shopping mall, "SkyCity", is landside between Terminals 4 and 5. The airport is a secondary hub for the joint Danish-Swedish-Norwegian flag carrierSAS Scandinavian Airlines.
