<p class="blog-para">The airport was opened by King Carl XVI Gustaf on 3 October 1977. Passenger services, previously at Torslanda Airport, west of Gothenburg, were moved to Landvetter in 1977. In 2001, some budget airlines began serving the former military base in S&auml;ve, which was renamed from S&auml;ve Flygplats to Gothenburg City Airport. That airport was closed down in winter 2014&ndash;2015 because of large reconstruction needs, meaning an increase of traffic on Landvetter of almost a million annual passengers. There has been a tendency that international air travel has increased, especially on tourists, while domestic has declined somewhat (mostly business travel).</p>
<p class="blog-para">In 2013 the international terminal was extended significantly with new shops, and in 2014 the domestic and international terminals were joined into a single terminal.</p>
<p class="blog-para">On 14 April 2015 Swedavia announced a 10-year long contract with DHL Express to build a new 7500 m2 large cargo terminal, replacing the old 1700 m2. The construction will begin in spring 2015 and is underway for one year. This was a step included in plans for Airport City. In 2018-2020 the terminal building will be enlarged, with three new air bridges. There are also plans to build a shortcut on the railway Gothenburg&ndash;Bor&aring;s with a tunnel and a railway station under the airport. Construction start has previously been decided to 2016, later 2020, but is as of 2021 delayed.</p>
<p class="blog-para">During the COVID-19 pandemic, most flights were cancelled. During April 2020, only the KLM route to Amsterdam was consistently operated daily. The passenger figures were 99.5% lower in April 2020 than in April 2019.</p>
