Landvetter never closes, which changes how you plan a private flight to Sweden’s west coast. For private jet charter at Gothenburg Landvetter you get a 3,299-metre runway, customs and immigration around the clock, and a business terminal operated by Landvetter Jet Center on the north side of the airfield.
Every flight needs an approved slot, and a handling agent is compulsory. Charter-A requests the slot and appoints handling as part of the booking, then confirms both before you travel.
The airport is about 26 minutes by car from central Gothenburg in free-flowing traffic.
