Göteborg's former secondary airport with rich aviation history.

Opened
1940
Location
Göteborg, Sweden
Säve Airport, officially known as Göteborg City Airport, is located in the Säve district of northwestern Göteborg, Sweden. Serving as the city's secondary airport, it handled primarily low-cost and charter traffic alongside general aviation and military operations. The airport has a long history as a Swedish Air Force base, previously home to the F9 Flygflottilj wing before military operations ceased. In recent decades it transitioned to civilian use, hosting carriers such as Ryanair at its peak passenger periods. Passenger operations have been significantly reduced and the airport has faced prolonged uncertainty about its future, with commercial scheduled services largely suspended. The site continues to support general aviation, flight training, and some industrial aviation activities.
Terminals
The airport features a single modest terminal building that served low-cost and charter passengers during its period of commercial operation.
Getting to & from
Public bus services connect Säve Airport to central Göteborg, though journey times are relatively long compared to the city's main airport at Landvetter.
