Thulin suggested the establishment of an airport close to the capital city, as the existing airfield at Barkarby was considered too far from Stockholm.

During World War II, Swedish and British aircraft operated flights between Stockholm Bromma and the United Kingdom.

[21] Stockholm Bromma Airport then became primarily used for business jets, general aviation, flight schools, and government purposes.

BRA attributed the decision to the decline in domestic air traffic following the COVID-19 pandemic, which had made its operations at Bromma unsustainable.

[10] Swedavia confirmed a major reduction of operations at Bromma Stockholm Airport,[30] with the workforce reduced from 120 to 41 employees.

[33] Under the terms of the current lease, by this deadline, the airport must be decommissioned, and the surrounding land must have undergone environmental remediation to remove contamination.

Noise levels must not exceed 55 and 65 dBA in designated areas and the airport is limited to 80,000 flight movements per year by its lease with the City of Stockholm.

On September 14, 2020, Swedavia submitted a report to Sweden's Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation regarding the operational viability of Stockholm Bromma Airport.

[39] Swedavia recommended consolidating air traffic at Arlanda, which it concluded could accommodate Bromma's capacity without requiring substantial infrastructure investments in the short term.

[41] As of December 2024, Swedavia has communicated to the Swedish government that it no longer sees a viable future for Bromma Airport, citing persistently low capacity utilisation and a lack of financial justification for its continued operation within the framework of the national aviation network.

Critics argue that the region requires only one airport, and advocate for the repurposing of the approximately 142 hectares of land occupied by Bromma for housing development.

[33] After the 2014 general election in which Red-Green Alliance gained control of both Stockholm City Council and the national government, plans emerged to close Bromma Airport to redevelop the area for housing.

[35] This finding bolstered the government's position, which in April 2021, announced renewed plans to proceed with the airport's closure,[44] aiming to free up space for residential projects.

A subsequent government report released in October 2021 suggested a closure timeline between 2025 and 2027, with all air traffic being consolidated at Arlanda.

[45][43] However, after the 2022 general election, which was won by the right-wing Moderate-led bloc, the newly formed Kristersson cabinet announced that plans to close Bromma early would not proceed.

[52] Christian Democratic Infrastructure Minister Andreas Carlson countered that the government would not accept an early termination of the agreement.

[53][54] In September 2024, Braathens Regional Airlines announced it will cease operations at Stockholm Bromma Airport by the end of 2024.

[55] Upon this announcement, Swedavia's CEO, Jonas Abrahamsson, described BRA's decision to shift operations to Arlanda as a natural development, reinforcing the need for a political discussion about Bromma's future.

Currently an extension of the Tvärbanan line is under construction, which will extend northward from to Rissne, Kista, and ultimately to Helenelund Station.

[61] Bromma Stockholm Airport features a taxi stand outside the terminals that exclusively serves 'ecotaxis' as part of its environmental initiatives.

The main facilities include Express Outdoor Parking (P2) near the terminal and a Pick-up & Drop-off area limited to one-hour stays.

The parking areas are open 24 hours a day[63] This article incorporates public domain material from the Air Force Historical Research Agency
