- It's a betrayal of Västerås! And against the hundreds of people who work in the airport area or have operations that depend on a working airport.

Sweden Democrats

- We look very seriously at a closure. The airport plays a very important function both for the city of Västerås and for the security of the state. An airport is also important, for example in the case of sick transport and fire aviation, and more. We will sit down and look at the basis on which this proposal is based, says Emil Thessén, (SD)

The Left
