International travel rose by just over three percent to 2.1 million passengers, beating the previous August record set in 2018 by roughly 16,000 travellers.
Overall, Arlanda handled over 2.4 million passengers in August, a two percent increase compared to the same month last year. However, domestic travel at the airport dropped by four percent to just over 324,000 passengers.
In total, over 3.3 million passengers travelled through Swedavia's ten airports across the country in August, which represents a three percent rise compared to August 2025.
"The growth was driven by an influx of visitors to Sweden alongside stronger domestic demand," Swedavia stated.
