Jan 16, 2014 (newstodate): Sweden's Stockholm Arlanda Airport is to be significantly upgraded to be able to meet demands for more air traffic over the coming years.
Swedavia has presented a new 30-years development plan to expand capacity, increase efficiency and heighten the experience for passengers at the airport.
The long-term plan is divided into phases, with the first phase running for ten years.
Included in the development plan is construction of a new pier in Terminal 5 designed to the handling of large long-haul aircraft including Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8, an expanded security checkpoint and commercial space in the terminal.
In all, capital spending for terminal development for the period 2014-2043 is estimated to be about SEK 13 billion, with just under SEK 7 billion of this allocated for the first phase.
With the implementation of the plan, the airport will be designed to handling of up to 35 mio passengers annually, twice today's volume.
The plan does not, however, foresee major changes in the existing infrastructure including three runways
