Stockholm Skavsta Airport

About Stockholm Skavsta Airport

Stockholm Skavsta Airport (NYO) sits in Södermanland County, about 100 km south of central Stockholm and 7 km north-west of the town of Nyköping. The airport developed from a former military base into a low-cost hub in the early 2000s, peaking at over two million passengers a year before settling into a quieter rhythm today.

Skavsta has a single passenger terminal, used mostly by budget European carriers and seasonal charter operators. The wider Stockholm region uses Arlanda for full-service flights and Bromma for domestic services, with Skavsta filling the low-fare slot.

Getting from Stockholm Skavsta Airport to Stockholm

The drive from Skavsta to central Stockholm typically takes around 85 minutes on the E4 motorway, covering 100 km. Heavy snow in winter or congestion near Södertälje at peak times can stretch the journey to two hours. A pre-booked private transfer is the most predictable option, particularly on early-morning departures and late-night arrivals when the airport coach has fewer services.

For travellers heading to Nyköping town or Oxelösund on the Baltic coast, the drive is much shorter at 10 to 15 minutes.

Terminals and pickup points

Skavsta operates a single passenger terminal, with check-in, security and arrivals all under one roof. Drivers wait inside the arrivals hall, near the main exit, holding a name sign. The terminal is small enough that locating your driver rarely takes more than a couple of minutes.

If you arrive on a delayed flight, the operator monitors landing times and adjusts the pickup so you are not charged for the wait.
