It is mainly the ambulance flight of the healthcare system and helicopters that use the emergency function, for transport to the university hospitals, among other things.

The Swedish Maritime Administration's rescue efforts, the Coast Guard, the forest fire aviation and the police also use the airports, which must therefore be prepared to open quickly outside of ordinary times.

Skavsta is proposed

But today's system is not enough to secure the socially important flight, according to the Swedish Transport Administration. It is proposed that more airports be added and among those envisaged is Skavsta in Nyköping. However, responsible actors have not been contacted at this time.

In addition to Skavsta, it is proposed that Uppsala, Örebro, Linköping, Jönköping, Karlstad, Mora, Lycksele and Kiruna are added.
