Luleå Airport History

Today, Luleå Airport is used as a civilian, cargo, and military airport. The airport first opened to civilian aircraft in 1944, whereas its use by the Norrbotten Air Force began some years earlier. The first non-military airplane landing at Luleå was by none other than the famous Swedish pilot Carl Gustaf von Rosen.

In its first years, the airport lacked the equipment for winter weather conditions so was only used in summer. That changed in 1948 and flights have since been offered year round. Charter flights from Luleå to popular resorts such as Mallorca and the Canary Islands began as early as 1969. Over time, the airport underwent various improvements and renovations; the main terminal, which is still used today, opened in 1984. The runway was also extended and in 1991, the airport first reached the million passenger mark. Today the airport receives about 1.2 million passengers on over 9,000 flight movements annually.

Unusually, its historic city centre is located outside of Luleå in the town of Gammelstad. Receding glaciers caused the waters in the original port to be too shallow for ships, so the town was relocated some kilometres to the southeast in 1649. Gammelstad’s old town and its 14th century stone church have now been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The new town’s cathedral was built in 1893 in a neo-Gothic style.
