Linköping City Airport (IATA: LPI, ICAO: ESSL) is a regional airport located in Linköping, the fifth-largest city in Sweden and the center of Östergötland County. It serves both commercial passenger traffic and general aviation, and is situated close to the city center compared to many larger international airports.
The airport has historically been associated with the Swedish aerospace industry, as Linköping is home to Saab AB's aircraft manufacturing operations, and test flights of military and civilian aircraft have been conducted in the region. Passenger operations are relatively modest, primarily serving domestic Swedish routes and some European destinations.
Due to its smaller scale, Linköping City Airport offers a straightforward travel experience with limited but functional facilities for passengers.
