<p class="blog-para">During the 1930s the need for a proper airport for Stockholm, the capital city of Sweden, became urgent. The airport was opened on 23 May 1936 by King Gustav V, and was the first airport in Europe to have paved runways from the start. During World War II Swedish and British aircraft flew to the United Kingdom from Bromma Airport. Since these flights sometimes carried Norwegian and Danish refugees the airport became of interest for German spies, and two Swedish Douglas DC-3 that had taken off from Bromma were shot down by the Germans during the war.</p>
<p class="blog-para">In late 2014 the Red-Green alliance won control of both Stockholm city and the government in the general election. They stated plans to completely shut down the airport and build apartments instead back then.</p>
<p class="blog-para">In May 2021, both the Swedish government and the airport's operator announced renewed plans to go ahead with the closure of the airport in the foreseeable future to make way for housing projects on the site. In October 2021, the Swedish government issued a report stating that Stockholm Bromma Airport could close between 2025 and 2027. All air traffic after the closure will be consolidated to Stockholm Arlanda Airport.</p>

<li class="blog-li"><strong>Taxi: </strong>There is a taxi stand at the airport, and the proximity to central Stockholm usually ensures that the availability is sufficient at most times.</li>

Terminal parking costs 45 Swedish kronor/h and is limited to one hour, while short-term and long-term parking is slightly less expensive depending on the length of time.
