'''Malmö Airport''', until 2007 known as '''''Sturup Airport''''' ({{lang-sv|Sturups flygplats}}) {{Airport codes|MMX|ESMS}} is [[Sweden]]'s fourth busiest [[International airport|airport]], handling 2,169,901 passengers in 2015, a new all-time high.<ref name=statistics>{{cite web |url=http://www.swedavia.se/en/Start-page/Press/Statistics/?airport=ESMS&startdatesel=72&stopdatesel=83 |title=Statistics |publisher=[[Swedavia]] |archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/66F189aic |archivedate=17 March 2012 |deadurl=no |accessdate=17 March 2012}}</ref> The airport is located in [[Svedala Municipality]], approximately {{convert|28|km|mi|0}} east of [[Malmö]] and {{convert|26|km|mi|0}} south-east of [[Lund]].
Airport code MMX


Via the [[Öresund Bridge]] the airport is located about {{convert|55|km|mi|0}} from central [[Copenhagen]], the capital of [[Denmark]], and {{convert|47|km|mi|0}} from [[Copenhagen Airport]]. The entire city of Malmö is indeed located closer by road to Copenhagen Airport than to Malmö Airport, and only Copenhagen Airport is accessible by train. Malmö Airport is a small airport with regular flights only to Stockholm and low-cost flights on [[Wizz Air]] to several airports in central and eastern Europe. To this a few charter or irregular departures can be added. Copenhagen Airport is fifteen times as large.<ref>[http://g.co/maps/w3gpt Copenhagen Airport &rarr; Lindeborg] ({{convert|28.3|km|mi|1|abbr=on|disp=or}}) vs. [http://g.co/maps/ecu6s Malmö Airport &rarr; Lindeborg] ({{convert|29.3|km|mi|1|abbr=on|disp=or}})</ref>

== History ==
[[Category:Malmö]]
===Early years===
Completed in 1972, then at a cost of around SEK130 million, almost twice as much as initially forecast, Sturup Airport replaced the aging [[Bulltofta Airport]], which had served the region since 1923. Plans to build a new airport were drafted in the early 1960s. Expansion was impossible, due to Bulltofta's close proximity to the now booming city and nearby communities complained about noise pollution from the newly introduced jet aircraft.{{citation needed|date=July 2016}}
 
Construction began in 1970, and the airport was inaugurated two years later on 3 December 1972. At the same time Bulltofta Airport closed. However, Malmö ATC ([[Air Traffic Control]]) remained at the old Bulltofta site until 1983 when it also moved to Malmö Airport.{{citation needed|date=July 2016}}
 
===Development since the 2000s===
Around 2005–2008 some low-cost airlines hoped to attract both Danish and Swedish passengers from Sturup in competition with Copenhagen Airport. Malmö airport, due to its lower landing fees, is seen by some low cost airlines as a cheaper way of accessing the Copenhagen area. The airport caters for low cost carriers like [[Wizz Air]].{{citation needed|date=July 2016}}
 
During 2008 Danish [[Sterling Airlines]] had some lines from Malmö Airport to London (LGW), Alicante, Barcelona, Nice and Florence. However other low cost carriers such as [[easyJet]] use [[Copenhagen Airport]]. [[Norwegian Air Shuttle]] use Malmö Airport for a few flights a day to and from [[Stockholm–Arlanda Airport]] while the majority of flights to the region go to Copenhagen Airport. In 2014, [[Ryanair]] moved their operations to Copenhagen Airport as well.
 
==Facilities==
Malmö Airport features one passenger and two cargo terminals as well as 20 aircraft stands.
