Feb 04, 2015 (newstodate): Sweden's Luftfartsverket is to seek acceptance for the US security agency NSA to establish pre-clearance for passengers at Stockholm Arlanda Airport bound for destinations in the USA.
If successful, Stockholm would be the first and only station in Scandinavia capable of offering its passengers security and customs pre-clearance before starting the flight and ending up with speedy entry into their US destination.
The host nation, in this case Sweden, would be obliged to carry all expenses including US staff and equipment.
The Swedish move is probably first of all a PR-stunt to promote its coveted gateway position in Scandinavia as Denmark's Copenhagen Airport has far more US-bound flights and passengers..
