About Stockholm Skavsta Airport

Overview

Stockholm Skavsta Airport serves the Nyköping region in southeastern Sweden, functioning as a medium-sized airport located approximately 100km southwest of Stockholm. The airport sits at an elevation of 140 feet above mean sea level and features two substantial asphalt runways capable of handling diverse aircraft operations. Its strategic location and infrastructure make it an important regional aviation facility.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Skavsta demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 55.6% of the time and Marginal VFR conditions occurring 18.3% of observations. Pilots should anticipate predominantly westerly winds averaging 7.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 26 knots. Temperature ranges from -12°C to 21°C, indicating substantial seasonal temperature fluctuations that could impact aircraft performance.

Notable Features

The airport's dual runway configuration (08/26 at 9,442ft and 16/34 at 6,690ft) provides operational flexibility across different wind conditions. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with minimal average crosswind components of 5 knots and 4.7 knots respectively. The relatively low elevation and flat surrounding terrain contribute to predictable approach and departure environments.

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the most favorable VFR months, offering optimal visual flying conditions with consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles. Pilots can expect minimal fog occurrence (7.7% of observations) and reliable wind patterns predominantly from the west at 270 degrees. The substantial runway lengths accommodate a wide range of aircraft types with consistent wind alignment.
