The station is located in a dedicated tunnel below the airport and is served by four or five trains per hour.

Other operators, including SJ and the SL commuter trains use Arlanda Central station.

The project involved building a branch from the existing East Coast Line from Rosersberg and back at Odensala.

The Financing was secured by introducing Sweden's first public–private partnership, whereby a private consortium would be granted a 40-year permit to operate the line in exchange for all direct traffic and the right to collect usage fees from other train companies.

The contract was won by A-Train in 1994, which started construction in 1995 and opened the line and station on 25 November 1999.
