Vilhelmina South Lapland Airport guide

South Lapland Airport (ICAO ESNV) lies in the village of Sagadal, Västerbotten County, in inland northern Sweden. It was known as Vilhelmina Airport until it took its present name on 27 January 2012. The airport serves the Vilhelmina area and the wider South Lapland region, a sparsely populated stretch of forest and mountain country.

The airfield has one asphalt runway, 10/28, which is 1,502 metres long, at an elevation of 350 metres. Regular scheduled flights began in the early 1970s. The airport is run by South Lapland Airport AB, a company wholly owned by Vilhelmina Municipality, and it has about 27 employees.

PopulAir flies the scheduled route to Stockholm Arlanda, under a contract with the Swedish Transport Administration. Some departures stop at Lycksele or Arvidsjaur on the way. Passengers can book through PopulAir or buy a through ticket to a final destination with SAS. Check-in opens one hour before departure and closes 30 minutes before. The airport handled 11,994 passengers in 2024, up 3.1 percent on 2023, almost all of them on domestic flights.
