Malmö Airport director Karin Öhrström said: “Naturally, we think it is very positive that we can now offer a service for which there is strong demand and that is absolutely crucial to our passengers and airlines at Malmö Airport.

“The tests are important with the restart of air travel and in many cases are a necessary complement to the EU Covid certificate.

Swedavia said that there is strong demand from passengers and airlines to take PCR and Antigen tests and to have travel certificates issued at the airport.

It said that passengers need to check with their airline about what applies to their own trip before they take the test.

In March, Swedavia announced that its airport operations across Sweden have become fossil-free.

According to the company’s annual and sustainability report 2020, Swedavia became one of the first airport operators globally to implement fossil-free operations.
