Located in the Malmö city district of Kirseberg, the area has since been converted into a major park and commercial development, and this part of Sweden is now served by Malmö Airport, and Copenhagen Airport, Denmark.

[4] During the 1930s, Bulltofta became an important European airport, with flights to Great Britain, France, and the Netherlands.

During World War II, the airfield served as the base for the Scania Wing (F 10), whose main task was to intercept German and Allied aircraft violating Swedish airspace.

Because of the proximity of Malmö to the German coast, Sweden's declared neutrality, and an agreement between the American Bomber Command and the Swedish government, many heavily damaged Allied bomber aircraft came to land at Bulltofta instead of attempting to make it back to their own airfields in England.

[5][6] The 1950s and 1960s saw the arrival of mass tourism and jet aircraft, which Bulltofta Airport was too small to accommodate, and it had become a source of noise pollution for the surrounding area.
