Stockholm Arlanda Airport , is an international airport located in the Sigtuna Municipality of Sweden, near the town of Märsta, 37 km (23 miles) north〔 of Stockholm and nearly 40 km (25 mi) south-east of Uppsala. The airport is located within Stockholm County and the province of Uppland. It is the largest airport in Sweden and the third largest airport in the Nordic countries. The airport is the major gateway for international air travel in large parts of Sweden. Arlanda Airport was used by close to 22.5 million passengers in 2014, with 17 million international passengers and 5 million domestic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2014 - transportstyrelsen.se )〕 By January 2015, Stockholm Arlanda Airport saw a 30% pax growth over 5 years, top growth among European airports.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Stockholm Arlanda Airport sees 30% pax growth over 5 years, top growth among European airports )〕 Stockholm Arlanda Airport is the larger of Stockholm's two airports. (Stockholm–Bromma is located north-west of the city's centre, but can be used only by a small number of smaller aircraft.) The smaller airports in Nyköping and Västerås are both located around 100 km away from the Swedish capital. ==History== The airport was first used in 1959, but only for practice flights. In 1960, it opened for limited civil traffic and in 1962 the official opening ceremony took place. It was used for intercontinental traffic already in 1960 since the runway at Bromma was too short. Scandinavian Airlines started using Douglas DC-8's on North American routes. The airport was also used very early by Pan American World Airways. The name ''Arlanda'' was decided after a competition prior to the airport opening. It is derived from Arland, an old name for the parish Ärlinghundra (now Husby-Ärlinghundra in Märsta) where the airport is situated. The '-a' was added in analogy with other Swedish place names ending with -landa and also makes the name a play on the Swedish verb "landa", which means "to land". The 1960s and 70s saw increases in traffic with scheduled traffic and charter traffic. The Boeing 747 jumbojet was started to be used in the 1970s both on one stop scheduled flights to New York and on weekend nonstop charters to the Canary Islands. Domestic flights to Gothenburg, Malmö, Luleå and Kiruna were operated by SAS DC-9s from Arlanda since they were considered too noisy to be used at downtown Bromma. The rest of domestic traffic operated out of Bromma and all international traffic out of Arlanda. In 1983 the domestic traffic operated by Linjeflyg moved from Bromma to Arlanda, using the terminal now known as Terminal 4. In 1990 two new domestic terminals called "Domestic 2 and 3" were built south of the first domestic terminal. In 1992 the terminal 2 was partly abandoned because of traffic decrease. It started to be used for international traffic the year after, and the main domestic and international terminals are renumbered into 4 and 5.The third runway was built 1998-2002. However, a recession in 2002 delayed its opening until 2003. At that time protests were raised by people living under its flight path in the municipality of Upplands Väsby. Traffic has recovered since and is now showing healthy increases but the third runway is only used during peak hours for environmental reasons. In September 2010 the first Airbus A380 superjumbo landed at the airport.〔(Business Jet news blog ) 〕 In early 2014, Swedavia announced plans for further expansions of the airport terminal complex, including the construction of an additional pier for Terminal 5 in order to better accommodate larger aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8 and address forecasts of rising passenger numbers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Historisk satsning på Arlanda )〕 In December 2014, the plans were approved by the Environmental Court of Appeals, and construction is scheduled to commence in the spring of 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arlanda satsar 13 miljarder på lyft )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stockholm Arlanda Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
