About Malmö Sturup Airport
Malmö Airport (IATA: MMX, ICAO: ESMS) is an international airport located in Scania, Sweden, approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi) east of Malmö. It is Sweden's fifth-busiest airport, with just over 905,000 passengers in 2024 - 53% domestic and 47% international.
The airport opened in 1972 to replace Bulltofta Airport, and was known until 2007 as Malmö-Sturup Airport (Swedish: Malmö-Sturups flygplats). It is owned and operated by Swedavia, Sweden's state-owned airport company, and features one passenger terminal, two cargo terminals, and a single 2,800-metre runway.
Located in Svedala Municipality, Malmö Airport is about 55 kilometres (34 mi) from central Copenhagen, and 47 kilometres (29 mi) from Copenhagen Airport via the Öresund Bridge. Malmö itself is roughly the same distance by road to Copenhagen Airport as to Malmö Airport.
