Stockholm Arlanda Airport is a Swedish international airport located near the town of Märsta. The distance between the airport and Stockholm amounts to 43 km. It is among the three largest Scandinavian airports and is the largest one in Sweden. It started functioning in 1959 as a training airport, and later began handling regular flights, including intercontinental ones.
