quickFacts:
  - >-
    Stockholm Skavsta Airport (Stockholm Skavsta flygplats), IATA NYO / ICAO
    ESKN, sits about 5 km northwest of Nyköping and roughly 100 km southwest of
    central Stockholm (Södermanland County — not inside Stockholm municipality).
    Official site: skavsta.se. Switchboard +46 155-28 04 00. Civilian passenger
    airport since 1984 on a former Swedish Air Force field (F 11 era ended
    mid-1980s); scheduled travellers use the public terminal only. Do not
    confuse with Arlanda (ARN), Bromma (BMA), or Västerås (VST).
  - >-
    Transportstyrelsen airport statistics (via published 2024 totals): 364,603
    passengers in calendar 2024 (all international on the Swedish Wikipedia
    Transportstyrelsen-linked table), Sweden’s 7th-busiest airport that year —
    far below the ~2.3M peak years when Ryanair based here. 2025 quarterly
    Transportstyrelsen reports: Q1 60,083 (−22% YoY) and Q2 96,530 (−3% YoY).
    Traffic is still rebuilding after Ryanair’s move to Arlanda; treat live
    airline schedules as authoritative.
  - >-
    Single passenger terminal. English Wikipedia (AIP-derived field data):
    elevation ~142 ft / 43.3 m; asphalt runways 08/26 ~2,878 m and 16/34 ~2,039
    m. Official airlines page lists scheduled carriers Norwegian and Wizz Air
    (leisure/VFR network toward Spain, the Balkans, Poland, Romania, etc.).
    Cargo and GA also use the field — follow passenger signage only.
  - >-
    No rail station on the airport campus. Primary public link to Stockholm is
    Vy Flygbussarna Cityterminalen ↔ Skavsta (~80 minutes; stop outside the
    terminal; Stockholm stop Gate 5). Flygbussarna also publishes Linköping (~90
    min) and Norrköping (~55 min) coaches. Online/app fares start from 229 SEK
    on the Stockholm line (buy before boarding for the best price; tickets valid
    any departure on that line within 3 months). FlixBus serves a stop a few
    hundred metres from the terminal; Sörmlandstrafiken bus 515 links Nyköping
    centre / rail (~7 km). Taxi ranks at arrivals.
  - >-
    Lounges: Priority Pass lists an airside VIP Lounge (Main Terminal, after
    security / passport control, near gates 5–6; digital cards accepted; max
    stay 3 h; beer/wine among listed facilities). Airport LinkedIn (Aug 2026)
    announced the Airport Guest Lounge reopening with Priority Pass / LoungeKey
    plus walk-up purchase at Airport Information — confirm live PP/LoungeKey
    apps and desk prices the day you fly. Separately, the airport VIP Lounge
    page is a pre-bookable group product via the Guest Experience Manager, not a
    casual walk-in café.
  - >-
    Terminal opening hours (airport opening-hours page): Mon–Fri 05:00–18:00,
    Sat 05:00–21:30, Sun 05:00–23:20, with the building kept open 90 minutes
    after the last evening departure. Check-in opens 2 hours and closes 40
    minutes before scheduled departure; security opens 2 hours before;
    non-Schengen passport control opens 1 hour before. Overnight stays in the
    terminal are forbidden; Aiden Skavsta hotel is ~75 m from the terminal (+46
    155 22 02 20). Hotel page also notes the airport is closed overnight roughly
    23:00–05:00 when no flights keep it open.
bentoTips:
  - label: Timing
    title: 'Build the Flygbussarna, not a mega-hub buffer'
    detail: >-
      Skavsta is a compact single terminal, but Stockholm is ~80 minutes away by
      airport coach. Vy Flygbussarna recommends leaving Cityterminalen about 3
      hours before your flight if you are riding the coach; reverse coaches
      usually leave ~30–45 minutes after landing. Check-in closes 40 minutes
      before departure and low-cost boarding can start early — the risk is the
      bus + bag drop, not a 20-minute terminal walk. Early Norwegian/Wizz banks
      and summer leisure peaks still thicken security; mid-day troughs are often
      calm.
    summary: >-
      Pad the ~80-minute Stockholm coach and the 40-minute check-in cut-off; the
      terminal itself is short.

  - label: Terminal
    title: 'One hall — Schengen vs non-Schengen is a sign, not a second building'
    detail: >-
      Landside: check-in / bag drop, Pressbyrån, Airport Information, Fast Track
      ticket desk, and arrivals. After security you reach ARG Duty Free, ät.
      (airside), seating, and the gate cluster (Priority Pass places its VIP
      Lounge near gates 5–6 after passport control for non-Schengen). Re-check
      FIDS for remote-stand bus gates. Free Wi-Fi SSID “Skavsta free Wi-Fi”;
      charging at airside ät. for customers.
    summary: >-
      Single terminal: security → duty-free / ät. → gates; follow Schengen vs
      non-Schengen signs after screening.
    category: terminal
  - label: Food
    title: ät. both sides — or Pressbyrån if you are racing a turn
    detail: >-
      Airport food page: restaurant ät. serves street-food-style plates with
      local ingredients and Nyköping Brewing Co beer, with outlets before and
      after security (weekday lunch landside Mon–Fri). Pressbyrån landside
      covers pizza, sausages, wraps, snacks, coffee and print. ARG Duty Free
      airside handles sweets, gifts and (for non-EU destinations) tax-free
      alcohol/tobacco. This is not Arlanda’s food court — eat in Nyköping or
      Stockholm if you want a long sit-down.
    summary: >-
      ät. is the real plate landside and airside; Pressbyrån covers a quick
      landside bite.
    category: food
  - label: Live checks
    title: Skavsta boards + airline apps — ignore “Stockholm” airport mix-ups
    detail: >-
      Tickets sometimes print “Stockholm (NYO)” next to ARN/BMA options. Confirm
      NYO on the boarding pass before you ride to Arlanda. Use skavsta.se
      departures/arrivals plus the Norwegian or Wizz app for gate and bag-drop
      desk numbers; Flygbussarna’s app for the coach home.
    summary: >-
      Verify NYO vs ARN on the ticket, then trust Skavsta FIDS and your airline
      app for gates.

lounges:
  - name: VIP Lounge (Priority Pass / Airport Guest Lounge)
    zone: >-
      Airside Main Terminal after security — Priority Pass listing: after
      passport control near gates 5–6. Follow lounge / Guest Lounge signage past
      duty-free; ask Airport Information if the desk has moved.
    hours: >-
      Confirm in the live Priority Pass / LoungeKey app on the day of travel —
      static third-party hour tables for NYO have been inconsistent. Airport
      LinkedIn (August 2026) announced the Guest Lounge reopening alongside
      Priority Pass / LoungeKey. Terminal itself only opens with the published
      daily schedule / last-departure +90 minutes rule.
    access:
      - >-
        Priority Pass (listed as VIP Lounge, Stockholm Skavsta Main Terminal;
        digital membership cards accepted on the PP lounge page)
      - >-
        LoungeKey / related Collinson products when the live network app shows
        NYO (airport Guest Lounge relaunch post referenced LoungeKey)
      - >-
        Walk-up / paid visit: airport August 2026 announcement — purchase at
        Airport Information in the check-in hall (confirm same-day price and
        capacity at the desk; not a published fixed tariff on the VIP page)
      - >-
        Separate product: airport VIP Lounge page — pre-booked groups via Guest
        Experience Manager (email on skavsta.se VIP page); food/drink packages
        by arrangement — not the same as flashing a Priority Pass at the door
        without checking
    bestFor:
      - Priority Pass / LoungeKey holders with 60–180 minutes before departure
      - >-
        Travellers who want a quiet seat away from the gate bank on thin F&B
        days
      - Pre-booked groups using the airport’s VIP hosting product
    summary: >-
      Skavsta’s only network lounge product — Priority Pass lists VIP Lounge
      airside near gates 5–6 (max 3 h on PP conditions; beer/wine among listed
      facilities; no smoking). Airport messaging also sells walk-up Guest Lounge
      access at Airport Information after the August 2026 reopen. Worth it with
      a network card if the app shows open; paid walk-up only after you confirm
      today’s price and that the room is staffed for your flight wave.
    verdict: depends

    summary: >-
      Reliable sealed bottle before security at landside Pressbyrån (snacks,
      coffee and drinks). Best default if you want water for the coach ride or

      After security, buy water with food at ät. or grab a bottle in ARG Duty

      Sweden’s cold tap water is potable. Filling an empty bottle at restroom
      sinks after security is the practical free option when no fountain is
      signed — ask Airport Information if a labelled refill point has been
      added. Empty bottles go through screening.

# Stockholm Skavsta Airport (NYO)
Nyköping, Sweden · Europe
Stockholm’s southern low-cost field: one simple terminal, Norwegian + Wizz Air leisure routes, and an ~80-minute Flygbussarna ride to Cityterminalen — useful when the fare beats ARN, not when you need hub connectivity or late-night terminal access.
## Airportist Score

**6.5 / 10**
- Comfort: 6.2
- Navigation: 9.0
- Food: 5.4
- Transport: 6.4
- Disruption resilience: 5.5

## At a glance

- Passengers: 364,603 (2024)
- Terminals: 1
- Typical security: 12 min
- On-time: 78%
- Disruption: normal

## Best for

- Travellers whose Norwegian or Wizz Air fare + Flygbussarna still beats Arlanda door-to-door
- Nyköping / southern Södermanland origins and destinations
- Priority Pass holders when the live app shows the airside VIP/Guest Lounge open
- Drivers pre-booking P1–P3 parking for leisure weeks away

## Watch out for

- Cityterminalen coach is ~80 minutes — the transfer, not the terminal walk, is the schedule risk
- Ryanair’s old Skavsta base is gone; do not assume FR metal still parks here
- Terminal overnight stays banned; building follows published day hours / last-departure +90 minutes
- Thin F&B once ät. winds down — not an Arlanda food court
- Self-connects on separate LCC tickets mean full bag reclaim and new check-in
