AI-Enhanced Insights

Säve Airport, also historically known as Göteborg City Airport, is located on Hisingen island about 17 km north of central Gothenburg. Originally established as a military airfield, it later served as the city's secondary commercial airport before regular scheduled passenger services ended in 2015. Today it primarily handles general aviation, flight training, business aviation, and occasional charter or sports events.

💡 Local Tip
Visit the nearby Göteborgs Motormuseum, located right at the airfield, which houses one of Scandinavia's largest collections of classic cars, motorcycles, and aircraft—a perfect stop for aviation enthusiasts with time to spare.
🚖 Getting There

The most convenient way to reach Säve is by car via the E6 motorway and route 155 onto Hisingen, with on-site parking available. Public transport is limited; Västtrafik bus services connect parts of Hisingen to the airport area, but journeys can be slow and infrequent. Taxis and pre-booked transfer services are the most reliable option without a private vehicle.
