Åre Östersund Airport guide

The airport sits on Frösön, an island in Storsjön lake, and serves the county of Jämtland. It was known as Östersund-Frösön Airport before it took its current name to reflect the ski resort at Åre. Military flying began here in 1926 with the Jämtland air wing, which was disbanded in 2005. Scheduled civil traffic started in 1958.

The single asphalt runway, 12/30, is 2,500 metres long and 45 metres wide. A second, shorter runway is closed. Swedavia operates the airport, which handled about 246,000 passengers in 2025. Most of them flew on domestic routes. SAS links the airport to Stockholm Arlanda, with seasonal flights to Copenhagen.

Traffic peaks in the winter ski season, when charter flights bring visitors for the Åre slopes, and again in summer on holiday charters to the Mediterranean. A local bus runs from the terminal to central Östersund. There is no daily bus to Åre, so winter transfers to the resort are pre-booked through Flygtaxi.
